If you find yourself lacking width, you can get your wide men to ' hug the sideline' (D-pad up then left), allowing you to get around the back of your opponents. Tactics had a huge overhaul for FIFA 19 and remain unchanged in FIFA 20, so make sure you are clued up on what each of the tools do. Timed shooting (O+O timed/ B+B timed) can also now be used when shooting from free kicks. Direct free kicks are taken by aiming (R stick) and shooting (O/B) to lock in your aim, and then applying curl during the run up (R stick). This gameplay feature allows you to select a defender with speed and precision for manual containment of opposition players.įree kicks have been completely revamped in FIFA 20, with a new aiming circle being introduced.

Primarily, manual player switching (R stick) counteracts the lack of teammate containment compared to FIFA 19. As a result, there are specific FIFA 19 controls that will become more useful when trying to get the hang of FIFA 20’s defensive mechanics. With the introduction of manual defending, defence has faced a complete overhaul in FIFA 20. New additions of lofted ground pass (Double tap X/A) and lofted ground through pass (Double tap △/Y) are useful when trying to reach a teammate over an opponent’s attempted block, as the lofted ball is carried over any bodies or limbs. EA have reduced the frames in which you can perform a perfect shot from 4 frames to 2 frames, meaning it is more difficult to execute. Shooting controls in FIFA 20 are unchanged, however be wary that timed shooting (O + O timed/ B + B timed) has been altered. Make sure you use this control whether attacking or defending as without it your opponent will have a massive advantage when tussling for the ball against you. Older controls are still just as important in FIFA 20, with shielding the ball (hold L2/LT) being just as important as last year. Shield ball (attack)/jockey or grab & hold (defence)/ jockey (ball in air)
