The much-anticipated FIFA 20 that has been in the public domain for some weeks did not come without its fair share of controversy. This was days after launch when many players started complaining of the messed up gameplay mechanics including the lack of proper AI defence that sort of got players to be quite exhausted in trying to attack and make sure all the defence areas are secured as well.

And if that wasn’t enough, the game’s career mode was later discovered to have its own kind of weird glitches. This included the fact that teams known for low ratings were usually found on the top positions in their respective leagues. Don’t even get us started on the case of players lifting “invisible” trophies. This got so bad that there was a whole hashtag meant to get EA Sports to fix the problems as soon as possible.

EA did promise to get to the issues but never promised that they would be immediately solved, which left players to handle it till today. But as much as many would expect this to be one of the things that break the game’s sales, FIFA 20 is still fairing on well.
