FIFA Volta is the new addition this year

I am actually looking forward to this.

FIFA Street was always a fun knock about game, but it felt a little lightweight to be considered a full price game, so incorporating it as Volta into the main series is a welcome addition.

There some to have been some minor tweaks to career mode (my preferred way of playing the game) so hopefully that will freshen up a part of the game that had REALLY gotten stale.

My main question is, where has the best deal on buying it. I'm a very casual gamer and the prices on new releases puts me off buying most things day one.

Cheapest place to pre-order the disc version, folks?

Supervalu/Tesco/Argos sometimes have games cheaper on release day they but they get snapped up. Its probably still a little early, deals and prices will start to appear next week closer to the release date. Check what deals Smyths and Gamestop are doing but usually GameStop will be the dearest.

I took a quick look at Smyths, Amazon and Argos UK (as a guide) before I posted. It wasn't looking "cheap" this year.

Smyths: €59.99
Amazon: £49.99
Argos UK: £49.99
Gamestop: €69.99

I wouldn't buy from GS anyway! Against my religion
The supermarkets and Argos IE are probably the best option, in fairness to you, but you just cannot pre-order. I'd like to get a pre-order and take the stress out of the situation!

Just checked Zavvi there, they don't even have Fifa 18 or 19, nevermind 20. What the hell happened them?
CDwow/wowHD aren't doing games anymore!
Littlewoods are €69.99
SimplyGames have it for £44.85 but I'm not too familiar with that crowd! (dodgy?)
TheGameCollection have it £46.95 inc P&P and I have used them before in the past!

Just wondering am I forgetting anyone?

Axwell

The GameCollection are the only ones I would bother with online apart from Amazon - with Argos I am sure you can preorder it, well reserve a copy once they put stock up. Those are probably your main options if you want to preorder it.

50 quid in SuperValu the day it comes out. Have been picking it up there for the last few years. Get there early and you will be grand.

marcbrophy

Thanks everyone, I haven't actually done the supermarket on release day since I think Fifa 13/14

I might just go ahead with that.

Where do you download the Demo ? I can’t find it on the PlayStation store.

Axwell

In the demos section under games on the left hand menu in the store

Yakult

If EA don't thinker too much with the demo game play, could be a good game. But given their history of nerfing things within the first few months, I'm sure we will get a very similar game to 19. Fix one thing, break five more in the process!

4real

anyone know if Supervalu and Tesco are doing FIFA 20 this year?

Shiminay

I sent an email to Supervalu earlier to see if they're doing it, will post a response when I get something from them.

Shlippery

Origin Premier is handy for this on PC, have it preloaded and ready to rock at 4pm tomorrow!

marcbrophy

Ah nuts, I thought the disc version was out tomorrow!
Have to wait another week

Finally got a response an hour ago - the head office says they don't know about stock levels and that it'll be on an individual store by store basis. So best bet is to call into your local and see what their plans are. My local's on the Quays in Dublin, it's a busy enough spot and I know they've had big name games before.

I picked up Fifa 18 in that store but my mate told me yesterday he was unable to get Fifa 19 there.

asked Supervalu Fortunestown in Tallaght and was told they have it on order but cant confirm the price.

Naked Lepper

didn't really like the demo but then again I hate playing against the computer, only do online seasons.

Had the 10 hour trial with EA Access. Good game. AI movement seems to have improved massively this year.

Free kicks have totally changed and it could be good, I think they will be much more scorable and that could cut out the stupid fouling in UT and online seasons.

Ultimate team improvements are good but it really is pay to play during the trail. Coming up against serious teams after it been launched an hour.

Carer mode finally got a few changes. All in all very good and not too time consuming. I will defo be picking it up when it comes out. SuperValu was 49 last year so hoping for the same.

dmigsy

Really like the updated gameplay. Not a huge change but feels good. Liverpool are a seriously fun team to play with in Seasons. Quite a few high-scoring games so far.

I've had a few games of it now.

I hope theres a big update coming as it seems a bit off but overall it feels better than last years anyway.
Feels a lot different in some way.

However it just feels a bit broken, the commentary in particular stands out. It just seems very basic, limited and disjointed.... like you'd get in an Alpha or early version(kind of like commentary on the PS2 "The balls played in *long pause*... cleared away *long pause *... " if that makes sense.

Sometimes the whole audio nosedives for a few seconds.

I'd be worried if there isnt a big launch update as this is the most broken Early Access version of FIFA I remember playing.

Will have to try Volta in a squad. Playing 1v1 anyway isnt a whole pile of fun. You'd think it would play like FIFA with 5 but it's a lot looser so by trying to move the ball around you'll just lose easier than in the normal version where you can hold the ball well.
Maybe playing with 4 others would change that and make it fun.

Not sure if this is of interest to anyone but Amazon have Xbox One S 1 TB All-Digital Edition Console + FIFA 20 - Xbox One - Download Code for £169
A cheap second console or early Christmas pressie.

CDKeys have the champions edition with early access for 77 Xbox 1

Supervalu doing it for 55€ with their rewards card.

When will there be a an update with the late August transfers? Anyway seems decent so far, I'm getting battered in online seasons. Absolutely leaking goals in defence. The keepers seem ****. And I can't work the free kicks yet.

Anyone have any tips for defense? I'm getting mugged completely time and again. Finding it hard to keep up with players by jockeying and time tackles. Keeper leaking goals

marcbrophy

If you search FIFA 20 on the argos site, you can pre-order a PS4 + Fifa bundle and a PS4 Pro + Fifa bundle! The game on it's own isn't there to pre-order!

Should give a good indication though!

Finding it difficult at the moment too, one small thing I'd say is that by hovering in and around the attacker and letting the defender try to dispossess the ball naturally without pressing the tackle button can be effective. Pressing the tackle button without it being completely necessary tends to sell yourself for the attacker to stroll on passed and through on goal.

Struggling though too, and trying to figure it out...

What's the general consensus on the quality of this iteration? I skipped fifa 19 but thinking of getting 20. Hard to get a proper gauge of if the game is actually good online because people are obsessed with minutiae of FUT

markcahill1985

Playing online seasons and transfers arent upto date i,e icardi and navas not with psg. seems weird any ideas or anyone having same issues. saying no squad updates available when i try and download latest

RobbieHawkins

Havent played FIFA in donkeys years but got FIFA 20 today.

There seems to be a lot of different modes and basically my question is what one should I go with as I don't have a huge amount of time and will only be able to play one of them.

I would like the option of playing my friends online from time to time aswel.


Cheers

markcahill1985

Still having this issue in all game modes. I don't play FUT so rely in seasons and career mode where the most of squads are out of date which is a joke at this stage.

marcbrophy

I think they usually do this update in early October, if I'm remembering correctly!

markcahill1985

Fingers crossed. Very annoying may as well be playing 19 ha

You can always manually edit teams in the settings, while you wait

Liam O

Defending is a bit annoying as players will ignore the ball and the CPU players don't react at all to the ball going by them seemingly. Maybe there is a setting I've not tried for auto moving and the closing down with another player while covering with the one you control seems to be a bit redundant this year.

Thought passing was awful last year and while it's a bit better this year manual passing still feels very clunky and not fluid. I don't understand why there is seemingly a restriction placed on how good you can be with it given how much more difficulty is involved with using it.

Gamer Bhoy 89

Anyone play the Volta Story mode? I feel like I keep playing the same team over and over and they even have the same player as me.

It's really weird. Even when I go from one location to another to play a different tournament, the same teams compete. No variety at all
