    Wow I am surprised! Slow speed setting is actually slow. Fouls like shoulder barges are finally counted as fouls. The ball physics are much improved. Tons of new face scans. With the right slider set this can be an all time great.


    It may be a small thing, but the size of GK gloves has been fixed. They are the right size compared to last year. Just a small pet peeve of mine.


    I can't get over these ball physics. The ball bends the way it should, bounces the way it should, etc. Helps a ton with the ADD.


    Absolutely buzzing right now!

        “With the right slider set this can be an all time great”.

        Love your optimism but I’m sure once the FUT boys throw all their toys out their pram, EA will once again ruin what could be a great game with endless patches. It really would be nice if they left it alone but I won’t hold my breathe.

          This very well can happen. They need to have different modes like they have in Madden. Sim, arcade, comp.

                  Well after 1 game I must say I'm more impressed with the trial than I ever was with the demo; demo felt just like fifa 19, trial felt completely different. I may have to reconsider on my initial thought of skipping this year's version. Even though it was a very small sample, after my 3 night's of work I will give it a good run through Sunday, but it does look very promising and as I said before a lot more promising than the demo ever gave me.

                    My first takeaway is they actually have black youth players if you scout in South Africa.....but half are still white, lol.

                    I'm not sure who's in charge of coding for the menu screens, but he/she should be fired. When the game adds in all these new "messages," you DON'T TAKE OUT the button that takes you directly to the messages. It's the most annoying thing in the world.

                    Speaking of messages, it's the most rediculous addition to the game. It also seems half baked. You can't delete any of them, so after a month or two of playing in a season, you have 15 messages that go no where.

                    It probably took them two weeks out of the development cycle to do it, and it really feels like it wasn't very well thought out from a usability standpoint.

                    I get why they added it though. The press conferences deal with "team morale," and the messages deal with individual player morale, but it still feels half done and ends up being annoying to deal with.

                    Just like every year, I really wish they would have done a youth system overhaul. Sadly we get annoying messages from a 53 rated reserve complaining he's not playing more than a 63ovr starter.

                    There's always next year

                      I played at lunch and i feel extremely optimistic about FIFA 20. Gameplay feels organic and unpredictable. Also the pace is significantly slower and more realistic as any soccer game I’ve played. And I’ve played them all... so far so good

                        Played 2 15 minute halves of a "Kick Off" mode game on WC with all assists on and Legacy Defending. There is a lot to be optimistic about with FIFA 20, but a lot of the "issues" are still there.

                        I was Arsenal against Newcastle and wow. Newcastle was horrific. 70% passing looking to counter and play long ball and they were clearly outclassed. I led 3-0 at halftime. Yes things can change in the second half, but I wanted to see how Arsenal would do against a tougher opponent.

                        Next game was at Etihad against City. What a difference. 87% passing and MC was clearly a better outfit with more skill everywhere. Even with assisted passing it was difficult to maintain possession because unlike Newcastle, City pressed all over the place. They even had a couple of yellow cards. I was down 4-0 at half. I decided to stop there thinking about how I would tactically deal with that next time.

                        Fast forward 3 hours later and I decide to start an Arsenal career mode. I skipped the pre-season tournaments and went straight to the press conference. Post press conference my team morale is happy.

                        First game is against Newcastle. Same settings. I'm down 3-0 at the half. 4 shots hit the post, Torreira missed one wide open from inside the 6yd box where the goalie was outside of the posts and the game resembled nothing like the Kick Off mode. Clearly the Career Mode garbage that has been in FIFA for years still exists. No fouls either.

                        I would say there is a fair amount to like about the game, but a lot of the same cheese still exists. It's the same feeling of kind of knowing when you're going to give up a goal and just thinking, "it would be great if they just..." There's probably a good game here, but I'm not going down the slider rabbit hole and then having everything re-adjusted every time a patch comes out to appease FUT kids.

                        If anything I'll probably do what I've done the last three years and wait until it's half price at the most.

                            Why would they take that out? That has to be a mistake that will be fixed in the day one patch, surely.


                            EDIT: I downloaded the trial. I get it now. Dumb move on their part.
