I got into the fifa 20 beta without signing up for anything... It's like EA knew I was pulling away.

e- The beta I got into has kickoff and volta which is good because volta is the one new thing I'm interested in. I think other people got selected for FUT, career mode etc.
e2- Long beta as well, about 2 weeks

I've been disconnected, what's Volta?

the only thing less fun than getting owned in futsal irl will be getting owned in video game futsal, and of course, that's my beta access

This thing must be running on like one server or something cause I was getting huge lag on the first day of the beta, basically unplayable

Hopefully it's better in a day or two

I got access to FUT and Kickoff but I can play Futsal in kickoff mode. Is the actual Futsal mode an online option?

I'm gonna stand by my decision to pass on fifa. I played every year starting with 13. I said it when legends were first introduced that I didn't like the concept. I ruins the feel of the game, is out of place, and kills the fun of creative squad building. It got worse and worse as they added more and the legends became more overtuned. Added in with the unending glut of special cards they've been adding to the game and it's made the game less fun and the players feel less unique and special. I don't see the trend reversing on special cards and I don't see them removing legends ever.

Has anything major been announced gameplay wise? I've heard it feels like fifa 19 but slower which is incredibly damning. If they somehow release a quick free flowing game like 15 and 13 I could investigate but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyways I'm still looking for a competitive sports game to fill fifa's gap. It seems like everything is ran by really bad companies (2k and EA) or is extremely amateurish.

I'm 100% not buying the game at launch this year I might buy it at a 50% or more discount at the holidays but I've never fell off a fifa harder. Literally played a total of 5 games since Jan or Feb. Also the beta is not good. I wanted volta to be fun and feel really different. It doesn't. That was like the one thing I was interested in. I think I've played the beta 3 times for a total of an hour maybe.

Some guy on reddit did a write up about how many more 90+ rated players turned up year in year out since FUT 15. That explains how, even after not being that good and also making some awful trading decisions I ended up with this team to close the year out.



I think I'll play the last weekend league (or is it 2) and then take a break for at least a year or maybe jump in discounted halfway through.

If anyone still cares about this game check your Ultimate Team. I just got a pack full of 10 game loan players. Got 99 Pele, 99 Ronaldo, 97 Mbappe, 97 Griezmann, 96 Kante, 96 Van Dijk, and 95 Havertz. I don’t know if everyone gets the same players or if they are randomized.

Pretty sure I got the same players. 99 Ronaldo is just outrageous.

I'm thinking of buying PES this year. Is there a thread in here about that?

EDIT: reading reddit, it seems like it plays way worse than the demo. Guess I'll just buy fifa next week and try not to touch FUT

I think I'm gonna get on the FIFA train again. A year away and I think I'm ready to grind endlessly for trash cards. Would be interested in pro clubs sure but I'm a Euro on Xbox and I don't think there are numbers for a good group again like in olden times.
