EA Sports have dropped some new details about what FIFA fans can expect from the next iteration of the franchise, with several gameplay changes set to be added in FIFA 20.

In a detailed blog post titled ‘Gameplay beyond FIFA 19,’ the post outlines that key gameplay changes will focus on improving A.I. defending, 1v1 shooting consistency, timed finishing, volley crossing and shooting, chained skill moves, passing and much more.

FIFA 20 will be reward players for their manual defending skill, with a newly-planned tackling system that “favors manual tackling by making sure that the defender that tries the tackle does so in a favorable context to your team.” The defender jockeying system and reduction in the effectiveness of the contain button is also set to be shaken up, which will reduce the effectiveness of auto-tackles or blocks.

1v1 shooting is also set to be given an overhaul, and made much more accurate, while open goal situations, goal keeper reactions and shot elevation will all be reconfigured. Read the 'Pitch Notes' blog post on EA Sports in full, here.
