FIFA 20

FIFA 20 is a football simulator 2019 from Electronic Arts. The game will appeal to football fans of all ages, and it is convenient that it is suitable for most popular platforms: Windows, Xbox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. You can play alone or with a friend, but whichever mode you choose, an exciting pastime is guaranteed, however, there are several nuances.

Not for visual lovers

The picture is not the strongest side of FIFA 20. In fact, the visual is no different from FIFA 19, they just adjusted the contrast and worked with the shadows. However, these differences are only noticeable when looking closely at the players. On the pitch, it seems that the coverage in the G20 has only gotten worse.

The study of football players is very ambiguous. Some of them are almost indistinguishable from prototypes, but most of them look repulsive. Those who have already played the game note that the detail here is rather sparse, and the players on the field have unnatural skin tones and hair problems. Hairstyles, mustaches and beards look like they were just glued on top.

But there are also strengths. So, the players have more animations on the field, so it's more interesting to watch the game. The physics of the ball flight has also changed. These changes are really noteworthy - they make the game more fun and add liveliness.

FIFA 20 Gameplay

But it's not for the sake of a pretty picture that they go to FIFA 20! The faces of the players on the field are almost impossible to see, and the main thing (according to the developers) is the gameplay.

With the gameplay, the situation is controversial. In general, the simulation of a football match looks organic. From the first minutes the player is involved in the process, and Fifa does not give him a minute to rest or get distracted. At the same time, artificial intelligence is rather weak for 2019. This is especially noticeable on NPC defenders. They have poor control over the playing zones that they have calibrated, because of which the player has to either go into an aggressive attack, or constantly saturate the support zone.

The developers have made the gameplay more balanced. For example, if earlier it was possible to pull out the game for time-finiching, now the indicator area has been reduced, and the process has become much more realistic. We also redesigned the AI ​​for goalkeepers, making them an important part of the team.

The system of free kicks and penalties has changed significantly. The gate is now marked with a target to hit, so the player can focus on strength and position. Also, the ball can be set to spin, and quite often it is this indicator that decides whether the desired goal will be scored or not.

Speed ​​has become an important parameter of the game. Because of this, speedy strikers have become as important as goalkeepers. Thanks to their agility, the defenders of the computer or the rival player simply do not have time to react to what is happening.

Another interesting thing is the Pro Club mode. There you can play the role of a specific football player and assemble a team of players. All 11 people on the field can be real people. This mode is not professional or realistic, but you will definitely get some fun with your friends!

Career Development

Career mode has been reworked in FIFA 20. Now footballers react to what is happening in the gaming world. They may complain that they are not shown on the field, or if they are shown in an uncomfortable role. Also, the virtual footballer can submit a request to the player. It is up to the user to accept it or not, but if you ignore requests too often, you can lose the command.

Problems are still observed with the transfer of players. The abilities of the characters are static, it will not work to pump and develop them purposefully. Progress is randomly generated, so you won't be able to make your pet the face of football. Also, a lot depends on the age of the player, which hits the realism and variability.

FIFA 20 Features

To diversify FIFA 20, the developers have introduced several interesting features into the project, and as a result, the gameplay has become more exciting and dynamic:

• Introduced new tricks for attacking and attacking soccer players. They can roll the ball and wait for the opponent's attack to make a deceptive maneuver. Stroking and forwarding have also been introduced.
• Fighting for the ball is realized through “controlled tackling”. If you press the key in time, you can win back the championship.
• You can play Fifa not only according to the real rules of real football, but also according to your own. True, this feature is only available for friendly matches, but it makes the gameplay much more varied.
• Teams and players have their own performances and personal goal celebrations. It doesn't affect the gameplay, but it adds a nice visual twist. After a successful goal, the player can simply relax and enjoy the high-quality animation.
• There are no restrictions. The coach of the club can even be a girl! Again, it doesn't affect the gameplay, but it's funny and unusual.
