London will look a lot different to Barcelona, for example, with the latter being a lot sunnier and generally brighter looking! The arena choices are superb, each representing a different location from around the globe. I won't spoil the campaign, but everything in VOLTA is also available to play outside of the story mode and with a variety of different rulesets. VOLTA adds some new spice and it's brilliant fun In the story mode, you start out as a nobody gunning for the top, pretty standard fare, but as this is FIFA with a stack of licenses, it weaves in real-life personalities from the scene such as Jayzinho. Well, apart from the dialog in cut scenes, but otherwise it's superb.

In FIFA 20 it makes its return as VOLTA, which also takes the place of the single-player campaign mode. Street was a very different take on FIFA, and many, myself included, had a lot of fun with it. It's a small thing, but when the rest of the game looks absolutely stunning, dodgy faces stand out.įIFA Street was a spin-off franchise that began way back in 2005, had a couple of sequels, then a reboot in 2012, then faded away into the mist. And in the career mode, your digital manager created in your own likeness doesn't ever seem to smile. Harry Maguire, for example, looks like Harry Maguire, but at times like he swallowed something nasty. Player likenesses are (mostly) on point, though some of the facial expressions leave something to be desired. There are so many different teams to choose from in FIFA 20 it's hard to know where to start.įIFA does a grand job with those licenses as well. So are a heap of clubs that aren't in the top leagues. There's a ludicrous amount of content in FIFA 20Īs always, FIFA 20 comes with an insane amount of licensed clubs, tournaments, and stadiums, and bar one particularly high profile absentee (we'll miss you Juventus), all of the world's top clubs in the top leagues are represented. Spin actually means something and no longer is every shot from range a straight laser. The ball physics have also been given some love and its behavior does feel a little more natural. Free kicks have long been my most disliked part of the gameplay, so a rework is certainly welcome and no longer do they just plain suck. Set pieces, particularly free kicks, are so much better with the upgraded system that lets you properly place your shot. That polish though is actually not half bad. FIFA 20 is, at its core, FIFA 19 with a little added polish. It may sound boring, but that's the yearly update cycle for you. Unless EA made something noticeably worse, then an update that looks, plays and feels as good as last year's game is perfectly fine.
