Football simulation game
FIFA 20 is a football simulation game that’s part of the FIFA series developed by EA Vancouver. This is EA’s first release after the FIFA trilogy entitled The Journey. The game centers on a new feature called VOLTA Football. It’s a new game mode that allows you to play street football instead of traditional FIFA matches. You can play in teams of three, four, and five. While the mode incorporates the same engine as previous versions of FIFA, it now emphasizes individual skill over tactical play. You are also allowed to customize your character’s gender, clothing, shoes, hats, tattoos, etc.
Fans of the FIFA series know that the storyline mode in FIFA 17 to FIFA 19 allowed players to experience a professional soccer’s journey to becoming one of the top football players in the world. The mode is still available in FIFA 20 but offers more control to players as they will get to dictate their own career goals. The storyline mode begins in VOLTA Football which includes 17 locations in 15 countries. Locations can be as low-profile as a warehouse or a parking lot, or beloved like a stadium in Barcelona or London.
Gameplay
In addition to playing as your own ideal football player, you can create an entire team of characters that you created. Teams have a predetermined goal which is to rise up the Divisions, beginning in Division 10 to Division 1. FIFA 20’s other game modes include King of the Hill and Mystery Ball. The latter gives the offense boosts to passing, shooting, and dribbling while the former increases the worth of each goal. Both modes create a more challenging environment for players to overcome.
Avid FIFA players can also opt to play career mode. It’s similar to the FIFA trilogy wherein you play the protagonist of the story FIFA provided. The Volta Football story follows Revvy, a street football player who dreams of becoming a World Football Champion. The purpose of this mode goes beyond meeting milestones, but it also helps you empathize with the day-to-day experience of an up and coming athlete. This includes training, negotiating, and networking in order to avail of the best deals and mentors available.
