![]() ![]() I’d been playing a lot of FIFA 19 in the lead up to 20 and felt myself falling into a very familiar groove before long. It’s a small change, but one that negatively affects the tempo and makes FIFA 20 feel like it’s stuck in two minds: arcade or simulation?īeyond those tweaks, any additions to the core FIFA experience are so small that they’re negligible, so much so that I felt like I was right back in FIFA 19 after a few hours. The ball will “hang” while moving across the pitch, impacting how effectively your players can use its momentum to press forward. While the more realistic approach is appreciated, it feels a little at odds with the arcade nature of FIFA in general, which plays more like a highlights package than the real thing. This, coupled with the massive increase in pace, makes FIFA 20 a pacy winger’s dream - the likes of Salah and Liverpool in general feel like a cheat code, they’re that effective.Įxtra attention has been paid to how the ball moves across the pitch, too. This change makes high ball situations (corners and crosses) far harder to crack, though they seem to be especially prone to the overlap as they now more or less hug an attacker, leaving them exposed to an ancillary attacker’s run. Pace is far more important this time out, meaning that Hirving Lozano can finally outpace Wes Morgan, but the changes are very surface level - or even to the detriment of the game - beyond that.ĪI defending has received an overhaul, which means that defenders are far less likely to go on walkabouts while you’re not in control of them. I’ve already written about how hard it is to distinguish this FIFA from the last, and that still rings true dozens of hours later. If you’re looking for some consistency in this tumultuous time, I’d recommend FIFA 20, which is basically the same core FIFA experience we’ve had for the last three years now. It’s been a period of upheaval for football in general of late, what with VAR drastically changing the matchday experience (for better or worse, I’ll let you decide), rumours of an elite league hamstringing anyone outside of the upper echelons, and widespread allegations of corruption making the beautiful game less so. ![]()
