That means you need a precise control of your left-stick, essentially resulting in a relearn of controls for those used to assisted shooting. Two, it's much easier to miss the goal because 3v3 features small nets - used in modes without keepers - and EA Sports has opted to make shooting at small nets “almost fully manual”. For one, there's a higher threshold for fouls. On top of that, there are further factors which deteriorated our Volta experience. Instead, the whole thing comes across as a restrictive version of FIFA 20's 11v11. If you were hoping, like us, that street football in FIFA 20 would be based more on the principle of that other Portuguese term - joga bonito - Volta's demo is not promising at all. In fact, the AI opponent tended to bludgeon its way through, with attackers hammering shots at defenders, and then attempting to score on the rebound. And since Volta in the FIFA 20 demo is also restricted to first-to-4 goals, we rarely got to half-time owing to pitch size and fast-paced play.īut the more surprising bit - at least in our limited game-time in the FIFA 20 demo - was that there isn't much skill, style, and finesse to Volta.

(4v4 and 5v5, with keepers, will be available in the full game.) That leads to a faster game where possession changes are more frequent, and goals are built more on tiny, individualistic mistakes than tactical ingenuity. More so on the FIFA 20 demo, because it offers access to only 3v3 without goalkeepers - the smallest of the lot. The Captain Obvious thing with Volta is that there's less space to play. (The last FIFA Street came out in 2012.) But with EA giving fans a taste of Volta in the FIFA 20 demo - already available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One - what better way to find out the potential it holds? Well, that's exactly what we did.

#FIFA STREET DEMOS SERIES#
Of course, comparing FIFA 20's Volta to that defunct series is a bit of a moot point since FIFA's DNA is quite different than it was in those days.

EA Sports has a ton of new changes on offer with FIFA 20, from gameplay to Career Mode, but the one everyone has been more interested in since its announcement has been Volta - Portuguese for “return” - the new game mode that serves as the spiritual successor to FIFA Street.
