Many topics are covered: The career mode, Ultimate Team, Volta and the Gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CAREER MODE:<\/strong><br><br><strong>Q: Is there any information you can share on the issues in Career Mode that have been reported by the community?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>Yes, the team is currently working to investigate community \nconcerns and are looking to address them in future Title Updates. Here \nare some of the top priorities:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>AI teams dressing low OVR rated lineups in inappropriate situations <\/strong><\/li><li>Dev Response: While we have made improvements this year to lineup  selections, especially with respect to how the team is chosen when  formation changes are made, we have also heard the feedback that people  are still seeing situations where a weaker starting 11 is chosen than  should be. We are currently investigating a fix that will allow for  better accuracy when determining match importance and how it relates to  the AI line-up algorithm. We need to also ensure that any changes in  this area do not have a negative impact in other Career Mode systems.<br> <br> <\/li><li><strong>When the AI is in control of top teams, they are sometimes appearing low in the table, occasionally even being relegated<\/strong><\/li><li>Dev Response: We have seen this being reported by our community and  we are currently investigating what may be causing this to happen so we  can work on identifying a resolution in a future Title Update.<br> <br> <\/li><li><strong>Improvements to the CM scheduling algorithms to avoid match congestion.<\/strong><\/li><li>Dev response: From the feedback we had received in FIFA 19, we made  addressing these concerns a priority in FIFA 20, and implemented logic  improvements to this system early in the development cycle, where the  results we were seeing were positive. Unfortunately, a change that we  made late in the development cycle, which was the insertion of the  authentic fixture schedule for the first season of a Career Mode,  resulted in an issue where the rescheduling of games is creating new  match congestion issues. Our team is investigating a fix for this new  issue, and also performing another sweep of the system to see if there  are any further improvements we can make to improve the algorithms.<br> <br> <\/li><li><strong> Press Conferences asking questions about things that aren&#8217;t  relevant to the save (asking about relegation when finishing in the top  4, etc)<\/strong><\/li><li>Dev response: As this is a new feature in Career Mode, and due to  the large amount of text and options that are present, despite our best  efforts during testing to identify and resolve as many of these issues  as possible, there are some issues that have been found by our players  that we were unable to find during the development cycle. The team is  taking in the feedback it is seeing from players and looking to release  fixes to these issues in future Title Updates.<br> <br> <\/li><li><strong>After a few seasons in Career Mode, the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League competitions are not working correctly.<\/strong><\/li><li>Dev response: We have identified what we believe is the root cause  of this issue, related to certain teams winning the UEFA Europa League  and thus being a seeded team in the subsequent UEFA Champions League. We  will be looking to include a fix for this issue in an future Title  Update.<br> <br> <\/li><li><strong> Editing players is resulting in those players having their positions changed. <\/strong><\/li><li>Dev response: We have seen the reports from players around this  issue and are working on a fix that will be included in a future Title  Update.<br> <br> <\/li><li><strong>Dynamic Potential seems to be resulting in some unrealistic  scenarios, where some players in bad form are going up in their ratings,  while some players, such as some that are aged 29 or 30, are declining  in ratings, despite their performance.<\/strong><\/li><li>Dev Response: With the introduction of Dynamic Potential, which is  now partially driven off the performance of a player in the previous  season, the way potential works in Career Mode has changed from previous  years. Form is a factor in the growth of players, but it\u2019s not the only  factor. Generally speaking, younger players will get better, and aging  players will decline. Form will have an effect on the potential for  younger players to improve in that if you performed well in your  previous season, you will have higher potential then if you performed  poorly. Similarly, your previous seasons performance will affect the  rate of decline for aging players. Having said that, and with FIFA 20  now live, we want to collect more player feedback about how the  potential system is working to identify if there are issues or areas  that could be improved further. To facilitate this feedback gathering,  we have created a <strong>thread on our forums<\/strong>  where you can report feedback around the system so we can more easily  review. When reporting feedback, please ensure to follow the  instructions in the thread and provide key details, such as the Player\u2019s  name, their position and their starting OVR ratings.<br> <br> <\/li><li><strong>Ultimate Difficulty seems to be easier than in previous years, are you doing anything to address this?<\/strong><\/li><li>Dev Response: We have seen that feedback from players and are  investigating what we can do to update this in a future Title Update.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FIFA ULTIMATE TEAM:<\/strong><br><br><strong>Q:<\/strong> Will we have any updates to the Squad Building UI? The \nperception right now is that it takes too long to complete SBCs when \ncompared to previous FUT\u2019s. Is there any chance of this being addressed \nin a Title update?<br><br><strong>A:<\/strong> When we did the redesign of the Squad screen, we had goals to \nunite the Club, Squad, and Transfer Market functionality into the Squad \nscreen, and simplify concepts that may have been challenging for \nplayers. Our intent was always to maintain many of the \u2018power\u2019 flows for\n our veteran players, but through Closed Beta and during Early Access we\n heard feedback from players that these flows were not as efficient in \nsome cases. As a result, we have some changes coming in a future Title \nUpdate that are focused on improving some of the key flows in the Squad \nScreen. What we have planned to deliver is roughly below:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Improved the discoverability of, and added new functionality to, \nMulti-Swap in the Squad Screen and Squad Building Challenge Screen.\n<ul><li>When on the Club tab of the Squad Screen, players can now turn on Multi-Swap regardless of how the player entered the tab.<\/li><li>When Multi-Swap is active, players will be able to cycle through the\n positions in their squad, including the subs and reserves, enabling the\n ability to swap Player Items in all positions without leaving the Club \ntab.\n<ul><li>The mini-map image on the screen shows which position you are currently selecting, and now also includes subs and reserves.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li>When highlighting a specific position in the squad, there is an \noption to refresh the search results to update based on the currently \nselected position.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li>Adjustments to Player Item swapping functionality on the Club tab.\n<ul><li>When changing to the Club tab, without having specifically selected a\n position on your squad first, it will no longer assume that you want to\n swap players for a specific position.<\/li><li>When you select a Player Item on the Club tab, it will not \nautomatically send that player to your squad, instead you will need to \nmanually change back to the Squad tab.\n<ul><li>Once you have done this, you will be able to specifically select a \nposition on your squad that you want to place or swap that Player Item \ninto.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/li><li>Backing out of Player Search while on the Club tab of the Squad \nscreen will no longer take players to the Squad tab and will instead \nkeep them on the Club tab.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: In FIFA 20, it is not currently possible to view the requirements  for each Rank in Division Rivals or each Tier in Squad Battles, is there  a plan to address this?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>This was an unfortunate miss on our part when the screens in  this area were redesigned for FIFA 20, so it wasn\u2019t on our radar until  the feedback started coming from the community during Early Access. We  are working on correcting this in a future Title Update.* *<br><br><strong>GAMEPLAY<\/strong><br><br><strong>Q: There has been some frustration from players around certain skill  moves not registering correctly. Is this something you are planning to  address?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>We are working on some fixes for skill moves that are targeted for a future Title Update.<br><br><strong>Q: Are there any plans to increase the effectiveness of headers or  improve the chances of having a successful header? In particular,  scoring goals from headers off of crosses or corners seems very  challenging so far in FIFA 20.<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>Based on feedback from FIFA 19, both from players directly and  based on our own data, the decision was made to make crossing and  corners less effective in FIFA 20, resulting in less goals from headers.  A big part of this decision is an effort to promote skill  differentiation and the idea that most of the goals that are scored are  the direct result of player actions<br> While we are always looking at ways to improve the game, at the moment we don\u2019t have any plans to change this in FIFA 20.<br><br><strong>Q: Defensive clearances seem like they are much weaker in FIFA 20, are there plans to address this?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>In FIFA 19, using the Pass button to clear the ball via a  header was often an effective way of executing a clearance. In FIFA 20,  due to the changes to headers, as covered in the previous question,  players who are using the Pass button may be seeing those clearances be  less effective than in previous years. Players should ensure that they  are using the Clearance button when they are trying to clear the ball  from their area when on defense.<br><br><strong>Q: Are there plans to release changes or fixes to goalkeepers?  Specifically around the manner by which they are punching the ball in  situations where they could be catching it or with the type of rebounds  that they are giving away?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>There are a number of updates and fixes that we have been  working on that we are targeting for release in a future Title Update,  with a specific focus on the areas mentioned.<br><br><strong>Q: When can we expect the first Title Update with gameplay changes  and can you provide any insight into what would be contained in that  update?<\/strong><br><strong>A:<\/strong> Providing a specific date or time for when a Title Update will  release is not something we do, as we are often reliant on things  outside of our control to deliver against a specific date. That being  said, you can expect that a Title Update which contains gameplay updates  will be arriving within the next week or two.<br><br><strong>VOLTA<\/strong><br><br><strong>Q: Some in the community have questioned if MTX (Microtransactions) are coming to VOLTA. Is this true?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>As we shared before, we won\u2019t have any monetization in VOLTA  FOOTBALL at launch. We\u2019ve built the game so that, in the future, we  could add in-game purchases if we felt they would add to the experience  for players. In the meantime, we\u2019re excited for everyone to get in the  game and tell us what they think of the new mode, including ways we  might make it even more enjoyable.<br><br><strong>Q: Many have asked if we\u2019ll ever be able to play with friends on the  same team in VOLTA (OTP). Is this in the roadmap to be added? If so,  when?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>Obviously creating a mode like VOLTA was a massive undertaking  for the team, and it\u2019s a mode we\u2019re all excited about and proud to  deliver. With that said, we are aware of the feedback surrounding the  ability to play with friends on the same team in VOLTA, and this is  something that is definitely near the top of our list for priorities and  future additions. Building an online team play mode is also a big  undertaking, and we want to make sure that when we do implement a  feature such as this, we do it right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FIFA 20<\/strong> is available from September 27, 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC,  Nintendo Switch.
