FIFA 20 is a football simulation video game published by Electronic Arts as part of the FIFA series. It is the 27th installment in the FIFA series and history, was released on 27 September 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
The game had us waiting for it with higher expectations due the number of features that EA said it would have and its previous history, which happens almost every year, but since the evolution of the graphic on FIFA 18 and FIFA 19, so we were believing in a big change on FIFA20 in every single mode, and it has, but also a lot of bugs, if you want to see some of them you can go check on FIFA Reddit/FIFA20 and you’ll see what players think about it.
Despite changing some of the mode’s features, upon release, the game’s Career Mode was criticized for being riddled with bugs including computer-controlled opposition managers picking unusually weak teams, players changing positions seemingly at random, and unexplained rating changes.
The criticism has been described as “issues that either turn its take on realism into a bit of a joke or break the game entirely”, with claims that EA is attempting to cover up or downplay the game’s flaws. The “#FixCareerMode” hashtag trended for several days on Twitter in the United Kingdom, with fans hoping to draw attention to the issues in the mode. On 16 October 2019, EA responded by releasing a new patch for the game which fixed various issues that were reported to be present.
So regardless of the bugs that we might find on FIFA20 players with a bittersweet feeling still want to buy it for all these innovations that the game brings to the table, FIFA 20 still have an affordable price and fun to be played
