FIFA 20 hits September 27 with football intelligence system that improves team AI and 1-on-1 play

FIFA Soccer 20 is dribbling down the pitch on September 27, EA announced today at EA Play at the Hollywood Palladium ahead of the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2019 next week in Los Angeles (and September 19 for EA Access fans). It’s coming in a big year for the beautiful game — 2019 is the Women’s World Cup, which is underway in France.

Lead gameplay producer Sam Rivera said after talking to 3,000 players, EA developed a new system — football intelligence — that works on on-the-ball, off-the-ball, and the ball (physics in this case). It works on the AI. Gameflow will give more time and space to the dribbler, and Rivera said more 1-on-1s will help player skill stand out. It’ll also give you more AI team support for when you’re controlling the ball.
