FIFA 20 Gameplay Trailer and Details - Set Piece Rewrite, Strafe Dribbling, Active Touch Tackling, Overhauled Shooting & Much More

Published on July 18, 2019

EA has released a new gameplay trailer for FIFA 20, and provided some additional details on having more control over decisive moments, set piece rewrite, new strafe dribbling, Active Touch Tackling and new animations, composed finishes, AI defending overhaul, natural and realistic movement all over the pitch, realistic ball movement with more authentic spins and bounces, new shot trajectories and so much more.

ON THE BALL

Enjoy more control over the Decisive Moments that determine the outcome of every match in FIFA 20.

Pick your target and time it right from the spot. Add curl, dip, or knuckle to free kicks. A new aiming mechanic gives you more creativity from dead balls.

STRAFE DRIBBLING

Move with more agility. Lure the defender in. Beat them with speed or skill. New strafe dribbling adds new dimensions for attacking play in FIFA 20.

CONTROLLED TACKLING

Take back possession with Active Touch Tackling and new animations that reward you for well-timed defensive play.

COMPOSED FINISHING

More clinical finishing when one-on-one. More risk with volleys and long shots. Overhauled shooting creates more realism in front of goal in FIFA 20.

OFF THE BALL

More time and space. More emphasis on your actions on the ball.

Change the course of the game in both defence and attack with increased control and more options in 1v1 situations during matches.

AI DEFENDING OVERHAUL

Win it back with better defensive support from AI-controlled players via an overhauled positioning and tackling system.

NATURAL PLAYER MOTION

Experience more natural and realistic movement all over the pitch with innovations in player motion and positioning.

THE BALL

In the air. On the ground. In FIFA 20, the ball moves more naturally than ever before.

FOOTBALL-INFORMED MOTION

Realistic ball movement with more authentic spins and bounces create a true-to-life match experience in FIFA 20.

NEW SHOT TRAJECTORIES

Curling shots. Dipping free kicks. Knuckleballs. First-time rising strikes. All made possible by the new Ball Motion System in FIFA 20.

New set pieces and penalties... thank goodness!
I'm really liking the sound of the new ball physics too.

"Physics-driven ball movement" makes me wonder what was driving the ball movement before.

Don't get this wrong....I love FIFA but every year they release this type of nonsense. These marketing points are nearly identical to last years. In 19 they promised: real motion, 50-50 battles, timed finishing, dynamic tactics... it's the same stuff just tweaked. The biggest problem is the constant updates . Last year the devs really struggled as the game changed with each update. So perhaps there is hope in that they aren't doing anything major with 20 we'll have fewer updates.

Things like fixing the bicycle kick mechanics and such at the beginning make sense, but altering/catering the game to the top 10% of players is out of hand, I agree.

Too many goals in this trailer and less focus on goalkeeper saves and performance. I'm worried about the ease of scoring goals in Fifa 2020. Hope the defensive AI helps with this.
The goalkeepers need some more love in this game as well. I'd like to see more desperation and great saves! For example soccer ball hitting the bar after a diving one handed save by the keeper.
Ball physics looks the same to me. PES 2020 kills Fifa 2020 when it comes to ball physics. It won't even be close IMO.

Agreed. Maybe it's just my personal play style, but the current set piece system feels inaccurate and random. And I really dislike the field-view corner kicks, hoping they switch back to the classic over-the-shoulder corner cam, or at least give you the option to do so.

That trailer looked really, really familiar.

Looks great to me, hopefully we will see more scoring as most of my games are 1-0 or such!

That’s how real football IS most of the time. That’s the way it SHOULD be. Should never be a goal fest.

Too low scoring imo, would prefer 3-2 or 2-1 games at the very least

Just lower the goalkeeper slider. You'll get that. I keep my human and CPU sliders at 75 or so, because I like to keep the score low and have most of the goals come from sneaking one past the keeper or banging in a corner.
