It's getting more and more difficult to review FIFA each year. These days, the game we play before release usually ends up morphing into something completely different, for better or worse.
Take B/R's initial 8.5/10 score for FIFA 19 and compare it to the re-review verdict of 5.5/10. Two very different games—separated by five months and numerous patches—meant the initial verdict was never going to hold true.
The deepest issues often arise after millions of matches completed by thousands of players, something one pre-release reviewer cannot replicate. As such, this review should be considered FIFA 20's first grading in a year that is likely to be littered with gameplay updates and tweaks.
