Join millions of players already enjoying one of the most realistic football gaming experiences of all time. Featuring a new indoor street football mode in Volta, fully updated squads, incredible graphics and refined gameplay, FIFA 20 is sending the series on the current generation of consoles out with a bang. Create your own player and guide them through their career, wheel and deal in the transfer market as a manager in career mode, or take on the world in online play.
And of course, FIFA 20 sees the return of the iconic FIFA Ultimate Team mode, which enables you to carefully construct your dream squad and pit them against other players’ with the aim of reaching the fabled Weekend League. Ultimate Team continues to keep player stats regularly updated to reflect current real-world rankings, with several variables and tiers aiming to provide the most accurate simulation possible.
Of course, one of the main draws of each year’s new addition of FIFA is the game’s fully updated squads and kits. Whether it’s playing with your favourite team’s new big money signing or eye-catching new kit, or simply being a bit of a stickler for accuracy, FIFA 20 will let you live out your dreams for the season in breathtakingly immersive detail.
EA have been careful to provide football fans the most realistic experience possible with this year’s FIFA release, completely rethinking the positioning and tackling system to offer more true-to-life spacing between AI defending and user-controlled players. This combines with the overhauled ball physics, which introduced more authentic ball spins and bounces, to successfully replicate the accurate play styles of your favourite football teams.
Volta is a brand-new game mode making its debut in FIFA 20, aiming to take the great game back to basics and on the streets for a football experience that is more small-sided. The word roughly translates to ‘return’ in Portuguese, signifying the mode’s likeness to the much-beloved FIFA Street sub-series of games. Build your player, pick your gear and travel the world while expressing your own personal playstyle.
While gunning for premiership glory is all well and good within FIFA 20’s suite of offline modes, a lot of people will be left wondering what’s new in the world of Ultimate Team this time around. It’s the most popular mode for a reason – and it’s back in a big way. The basic concept encourages players to achieve the best squad of players with which to take online to compete against others. Here’s some of the highlights for 2019:
The entire objectives system has been completely redefined for FIFA 20. Players still get to personalise their own club and compete in online matches to prove their team the best, only now they will do so while earning XP through a range of time-limited tasks broken out into a weekly, monthly and even season-long timescale. Move through the levels every in-game Season and unlock better rewards as you level up, completing milestone objectives to unlock prized FUT rewards.
Part of the fun of Ultimate Team is getting to included not only modern-day football superstars, but some of the best ones from the past, too. All these you’ll find in the 20 FUT icons you’ll likely unlock as you play, which for this year includes the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Pep Guardiola and Ronald Koeman. The FUT Icon class of 20 is nothing to be sniffed at, strengthening your squad with their own coveted player stats and abilities.
