Yep opposition has had a few red cards already whilst playing against me. Still cant get anything done with this dribbling. Game would be awesome if you could dribble past people like the old versions
You can. Even more so now I think. CPU is always difficult to dribble, but try using the L1 dribbling and skill moves. Lots of new skill moves in fifa 20.

Agreed, tackling is way better. Defending in general is so much better because you’re rewarded for defending well. Players feel way better on the ball too, most don’t feel super clunky. Small details like how players receive the ball, headers and difficult passes not always going where you aim etc makes the game a lot better. Shooting is also very very balanced. Finesse shots, low drivens and normal shots all do well in certain situations and none feel overpowered or broken. Goalkeepers don’t act weird anymore and the refs seem to have improved a lot too. Player switching is also sorted out. Pace is balanced as well, you’re actually able to accelerate away from defenders with certain players. Chain skill moves are a thing of the past now, and they’ve added even more skill moves to add further variation.

I can’t help but feel like this may be the best FIFA in a very long time, maybe ever. I really love the demo and I hope they don’t mess it up with updates.

Agree.

Strangely, I’ve really enjoyed the demo. For me, they have nailed the pace at the right tempo. Past FIFA titles, the pace/tempo of the game has been like an NHL ice hockey game. This one is absolutely bang on the money!

Don't get to excited with the demo... Wait until that patch after 2 or 3 days!

I've not actually played it yet. I said I didn't want to get it this year, but I'm currently bored and have nothing to play, so I'm toying with the idea of
A. Getting it, throwing £60 or so at it and go from there.
B. No money spent, just work from the bottom and see where it gets me (as fun as it sounds, I do enjoy the day 1 opening packs etc)

I've always ended up breaking sort of even with Fifa, some years I've made some money, some I've lost a little.
I get bored after 2 or 3 months and just sell my coins :lol:

It’s still extremely zippy and the player animation is unnaturally fast.

Apparently EA Access is going live at 19:00 GMT (3 minutes) in which you can play the game for 10 hours for £3.99. Anyone going to do it?

Web App is live.
81 Rated Dani Garcia was the best for me :(
So we can get started on buying/selling players etc.?

I have zero clue how to do it but might give it a go this time. Was sick and tired having an 82 rated team in my division rivals and then facing up teams with Pele, Cantona etc. in the first XI.

Got feck all from starter packs but got 5000 from daily bonus so happy with that.

Put everyone up for sale, bought James, McTominay, Andreas Pereira, Dalot, Tuanzebe and Sergio Romero for the bulk of my starter team. James was 2.3k when most were 4k (seem to be going fast anyway, so he'll likely go up), Tuanzebe I got for 1.2k, the rest were around 500 coins.
Aiming to have this by the time the game comes out:
Romero
Dalot Maguire Tuanzebe Kolasinac
Sarr McTominay Pereira James
Rashford Lingard​
Maguire and Kolasinac shouldnt be much at all. Sarr and Lingard probably a couple thousand. Rashford is the one who will be probably 40k when the game comes out but will be probably 20k to start.

Same for us all. I got shafted by my daily bonus of a gold reward pack.

When buying FIFA do people suggest to download it on to the console or just buy the CD? There's no difference between the two right?

Silly question I know but I've always bought CDs.

When I log on the web app it tells me I don't yet have a FUT 20 club yet. Well duh I haven't received my copy yet. How do you get around this?

You have to have used the web app and normal FUT in fifa 19 before August I believe to use the web app before the game is released.

Just personal preference really. A lot of people do it due to the way you can link two consoles to allow for two people to play from one download. CDs tend to be cheaper if you're buying it solo.

Unfortunately, my PS4 has a knack for overheating and the digital versions of games seems to push it over the edge.

I'll reluctantly wait for the hard copy on the 24th.

How the feck do people get such good players. I did SBC got lazy and did auto complete for everything until I had hardly anything left. Ended up with Rafina and that's it.

I accidently bought a random korean bloke along the way.

They definitely don't auto complete anything. And it's all about selling for a profit and reinvesting.

I've probably spent over an hour just listing things on the transfer market already

Oh willy. Fair play, so see what one of your players is worth in the market and add on 10-20%?

I've not bought a single player for my actual team yet. Rather buying cheap gold players and just listing them a couple of hundred higher.

Where’s the web app? Every time I go to log in it takes me to the Fifa 19 web app.

Players are going for really cheap right now. Harry Kane for 20k, Griezmann for 80k and Oblak going for 22k and he's rated 91!

Current team:
Greenwood
James Gomes Chong
Pereira McTominay
Kolasinac Maguire Tuanzebe Dalot
Romero
And have 2 Visca's in my transfer list since he's 84 overall but sold for 1800 coins.
The attack probably wont actually be usable in game, but I feel like those 5 silver cards are going to be good investments, especially if the youngsters have a good game tomorrow and people want to buy them. Tuanzebe and James look very usable anyway, more just the kids. If nothing itll be a fun little team to use for squad battles.

I like that and for squad battles it's perfect mix of fun and pace, which is all that is usually required against the AI

Does anyone play this game offline? Or am I just too old now to relate to all this opening packs and spending actual money fut stuff.

Is the latest offering any good as a single player offline experience?

Used to love couch co op and 2 v 2 with mates back in the day. Don't want to play some random 14 year old in Spain who has reflexes like a cat and can put 6 hours a day into the game. I just dont have time to become very good, just want an hours fun here and there without tearing my hair out like I am currently with PES 2020!

Is it possibly to actually pack a decent card on the web app, they seem to be even more rigged than usual.
