Against the AI, Squad Battles fixtures on Ultimate difficulty again throw up occasions where the CPU wins by having its stats boosted to M. Tight online matches still have a whiff of the inevitable when you concede with ten minutes left after peppering an opponent’s goal, although the flip side is the euphoria felt when you cling on to a desperation 1-0 win over a more skilful human opponent. To my eyes it isn’t broken – very good, in fact – but neither is it flawless, and some frustrations from FIFA 19 linger. So if you found skill gap – or lack thereof – to be headache last year, I suspect FIFA 20 is again going to be written off as ‘broken’. Assemble a meta squad packing van Dijk at the back, N’Golo Kante in midfield and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up front and of course you’re going to blame shenanigans upon losing 0-1 to a team spearheaded by Billy Sharp. These are smartly tiered to placate newcomers and well-versed players alike: early bonuses include loans for Virgil van Dijk and Eden Hazard, while those who commit the necessary time can eventually turn 96,055 XP into 85-rated Wilfried Zaha or Lucas Vazquez cards.įrom a traditionalists’ standpoint, judging gameplay is problematic because 90% of the FIFA audience – myself included – believe their abilities to be better than they actually are. FIFA 20 Ultimate Team gets a re-structure of sorts via an all-encompassing feature called Seasons, whereby every activity you complete scores XP towards tangible rewards. The studio has approached such complaints constructively. The salient, constructive argument runs like this: given that FUT is the most lucrative mode in sports, surely the majority of EA Canada’s resources should go towards making it as close-to-perfect as possible? In the garden of Eden Partly that’s due to social media’s infamous lack of nuance, but amid the noise is a degree of substance to complaints regarding Ultimate Team. I’ve been playing FIFA religiously since its Mega Drive inception, and can’t recall a period where feedback has been as toxic as in the last 12 months.
