FIFA 20 Standard Edition for Nintendo Switch

Product Information

The major issue is that it’s simply no different from FIFA 19. Okay so that’s not strictly true. There are a few animation tweaks and when you score the graphic of the player name rolls in quite nicely. I know, I’m trying hard here to find the positives. A mode or two" is, at least in my opinion, not much less of a problem if said modes are sold for full price, not to mention the MTX shenanigans on top of all this. Musa, Talal (31 July 2019).

If you are a devotee to the series then you will obviously be drooling at the prospect of getting your hands on FIFA 21 with its promises of next-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X graphics and engines (after comparing the prices online, obviously). However, with many weary of the cosmetic tweaks each year, it's more interesting for those who are less sure and need to be convinced as to why? Sometimes not all that much can change between editions, and sometimes it can change for the worse. The overall aim appears to be making the game more realistic (isn't that what the goal should be every year?) and if it turns out like Madden 19, then it could be a roaring success. Often, however, when trying to make a sports game realistic can often be at the expense of, you know, fun. But there's already one thing which makes FIFA 20 definitely worth investigating... VOLTA Football Yes, you’ll be able to play Online Seasons, Online Friendlies, and various FIFA Ultimate Team modes online.

Gameplay changes to FIFA 20 focus primarily on a new feature titled VOLTA Football. [8] The mode, which translates to 'return' in Portuguese, focuses on street football rather than the traditional matches associated with the FIFA series, similar to the FIFA Street series. [9] It includes several options to play in three versus three, four versus four and five versus five matches, as well as with professional futsal rules. [10] The mode will incorporate the same engine, but places emphasis on skill and independent play rather than tactical or team play. [11] It seems strange, you seem upset about Nintendo not releasing dramatically new games years later on another platform, but nonchalant about EA releasing the exact same reskinned game repeatedly on the same platform. I just don't understand how Nintendo's behavior is worse in your estimation, let alone comparable.

Additionally, players have the option to create their custom player by gender, clothing, shoes, hats, accessories and tattoos. [12] Following the completion of the three-part series "The Journey" in FIFA 19, players are now able to follow a similar storyline mode in VOLTA Football, which would be played with the player's own character. [6] Alex Hunter also makes a cameo in the game, along with his agent Beatriz Villanova. Play the pinnacle of club football across a variety of modes in FIFA 19 with official match presentation, breadth in tournament experiences, including UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Super Cup, and an all-new commentary team in Derek Rae and Lee Dixon. You're gonna get a fresh new look in Switch, with kits and player lists and all of that," McHardy said, when asked what the Switch's Legacy version of the game would entail. "But you're not going to be getting Volta or any of the big new features." Pusinelli, Alastair (1 August 2019). "FIFA 20 Ultimate Team: What is the new Mystery Ball mode?". RealSport.

But let’s not also kid ourselves that FIFA 20 is somehow incredibly amazing on other platforms. It isn’t. It’s just a rehash with Volta added on.Many professional players online have widely criticised FIFA 20 as one of the most frustrating editions in the history of the franchise, citing the clunky gameplay, dynamic difficulty and balancing issues. Players have also criticised the popular 'Ultimate Team' for adopting a 'pay-to-play' model, citing the steps that Electronic Arts have taken to make the game more friendly for e-sports competitions.

Maybe 2K20 should release a footy sim for Switch. It couldn’t do any harm and they have manage to get NBA running on Switch fine. Yes there are a few concessions but as Switch owners we don’t care too much about that. As long as the full game and basic essence is there we can be happy with that. Trout, Chris (8 August 2019).

What would be good is if we could see PES on switch: - there is zero excuse for Switch not having a top quality football sim.
