![]() ![]() The ability to create your own custom manager is a big plus, and even though the newly implemented pre-match and post-match interviews do become repetitive, they help sell Career Mode as a role-playing experience. Don't get us wrong, there are some welcome additions here. ![]() It's weird, because prior to release, EA made a big deal out of how improved the Career Mode in FIFA 20 was supposed to be. It's functional, but it's shockingly buggy - the kind of bugs that take you right out of the game just when you're trying to immerse yourself in the search for glory with your favourite club. This year, Career Mode is in desperate need of a patch or two. Sadly, we're not businessmen, and so the sheer shoddiness of Career Mode really has us down in the dumps. Ultimate Team gets the most attention because it makes EA a ridiculous amount of dosh, and in business terms, that makes total sense. It's honestly a massive shame that Ultimate Team is buried beneath so much (warranted) controversy, because it really is brilliantly crafted. The user interface is slicker and more efficient than ever, and building your team remains a joy, for the most part. At this point it's easily FIFA's most robust and refined component. With this stance in mind, it's difficult to deny that Ultimate Team is very good this year, minus all the bullsh*t. Is it bad that FIFA encourages people of all ages to splash additional cash? Of course it is. That said, do you need to spend money to enjoy Ultimate Team? Not at all. The bottom line is that FIFA 20 lets you pay to win, and there's absolutely no excuse for it. Here in 2019, Ultimate Team almost feels archaic in its blatant approach, tempting users with the ever-effective sticker pack. As successful as they clearly are for the publisher, there's no getting away from the fact that the conversation surrounding in-game purchases in full price retail titles has changed a lot over the past few years. Ultimate Team remains a controversial topic because of its microtransactions. As for Volta, well, let's just say it fails to leave a lasting impression. Once again, EA Sports bolsters the mode that makes FIFA one of the most profitable franchises in gaming at the cost of leaving poor old Career Mode in a worrying state. However, only one of these modes stands strong as a rock solid time sink - care to guess which one? If you said anything but Ultimate Team, then you haven't been paying attention. FIFA 20 has three core modes of play: Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and the all-new Volta. ![]()
