FIFA 20 Critic Reviews

The most complete game of the saga. FIFA 20 takes everything good from previous years and adds the futsal with Volta Football, its new and exciting story mode.

EA Sports totally hits the spot with FIFA 20. On one hand, they have refined the gameplay to make it more real and solve some issues that tainted the past. On the other hand, they have incorporated Volta, which acts as a game within the game and manages to offer all of the FIFA Street essence that adds as much depth to its gameplay as it does to the game modes and the overall experience.

While the gameplay in FIFA 20 isn’t a massive upgrade over FIFA 19, it is a superior title and one of the best football games you’ll play. The fresh lick of paint to Career Mode and Ultimate Team have made already excellent modes even better and the sheer volume of licensed teams, stadiums, and more makes for an impressively authentic experience, too. Volta is also a fantastic addition and the jewel in FIFA 20’s crown because of its an exciting, bold approach that elevates the experience wonderfully.

A lot of work has gone into this version of FIFA, with an abundance of gameplay improvements, quality of live improvements and the festive new street football mode Volta. All of this results in a brilliant and highly accessible version of the annual football frenzy.

FIFA 20 doesn't reinvent the game of soccer, but it does an admirable job of reinventing how its played. New game modes, animations, and improved player and ball physics make this the best soccer game on the market.

FIFA 2020 is a return to form for EA's blockbuster sports series. It still needs to improve in a few areas - Career mode, in particular - but new additions such as VOLTA and House Rules FUT are title-winning prospects.

FIFA 20 offers more of the same: lots of game modes, licenses and FUT, that will be the protagonist in the coming months, but also Volta, that surprises and can even be considered as a stand-alone game. Football fans have two great games to enjoy this year.

FIFA 20 doesn't make any revolution and maintains the philosophy adopted by the series in recent years, smoothing out some mechanics of its predecessor which were abused last year. Volta is an interesting alternative to traditional gameplay.

With VOLTA and many minor tweaks and adjustments, FIFA 20 is a really enjoyable football experience.

FIFA 20 has its strengths in terms of modes, with Volta being the best addition in last years. But this franchise needs a revolution in its gameplay.

FIFA 20 looks like another step up for the FIFA franchise, even if probably not so wide and brave as we could expect. Anyway, gameplaywise the new physics, the slower pace and a solid 1 on 1 defense open a whole new world in terms of approach and styles of play. The very new game mode Volta brings the street soccer back to videogames and it's simply a love letter to the spirit of football lived as fun.

FIFA 20 is one of the most complete football experiences out there and an unskippable entry for the fans.

FIFA 20 is fun, which is the most important thing. The developers in charge of gameplay have done just about all they can do to make this title a joy on the virtual pitch. It’s shortcomings are because of a lack of innovative improvements to core modes. That keeps it as a really good game, but a notch below great.

FIFA 20 does not change the formula that has led the EA series to excel in the football category for years. The content offer is wide, with a series of (interesting) variants that unfortunately risk falling into oblivion very soon, swallowed up by that bottomless well that meets the name of Ultimate Team. The changes to the game structure do not distort a tried and tested system that is quite spectacular and favors the attack on the defense. The impression is that a bit more courage would be needed to review some mechanics and get rid of some historical problems (for example the speed, both of the maneuvers and some players), even if on the whole gameplay is quite enjoyable.

EA Sports has managed to introduce many new features in FIFA 20, some better than others of course. Similarly, the company's intention to not fall asleep is appreciated. The great star of this edition is, without a doubt, VOLTA, a football mode in the best FIFA Street style that leaves very good sensations and prepares a field that has never been explored by the saga. Nor should we forget the changes implemented on the field of play, which are several and almost all satisfactory. Putting all this on the table, FIFA 20 is a highly recommended delivery to make time and enjoy a fun game before the big jump to next-generation consoles.

FIFA 20 is virtual football in its most spectacular form.

For years fans have been yearning for EA to make some much needed changes to their FIFA formula and this year they tried to step outside their comfort zone just a little. Although the game still lacks a real gut punch of a story and there are some weird oversights and glitches throughout, there is a ton of customization and the Volta game mode has injected a fresh new feel to the franchise. Add that to a wide selection of game modes and a better FUT experience than ever before and despite its shortfalls FIFA 20 is definitely one of the better games from the franchise in recent years.

FIFA 20 is one of the most balanced games in the series to date, and has finally slowed its frantic gameplay down a bit, but is not reinventing any of its modes and core mechanics as it looks like a transition title.

FIFA 20 brings the franchise back to great form after last year's minor deviation. It plays a solid game of virtual football, and if you're mostly focused on online modes, there's plenty to do. Volta makes for a great addition, and offsets the lack of progress in Career mode.

Although the core gameplay isn’t mind-blowingly different, it’s still the best football game, and the addition of VOLTA is a whole new way to play.
