'FIFA 20' (ALL) Adds Zidane As Ultimate Team ICON & Ultimate Edition Cover Star

by Rainier on July 30, 2019 @ 8:06 a.m. PDT

FIFA 20 will bring two sides of The World’s Game to life - the prestige of the professional stage and an all-new authentic street football experience in EA Sports Volta.

EA Sports Volta Football takes the game back to the streets with the authentic culture, creativity and style of the small-sided game played on streets, courts and futsal pitches around the globe. Build your player, pick your gear, and express your style in football playgrounds all over the world; from a London cage, to an Amsterdam underpass, to a Tokyo rooftop.

Play the beautiful game the way you want with various forms of 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5  both with and without walls, as well as Professional Futsal. Or, take your unique player through the VOLTA Story Mode culminating in the VOLTA World Championship in Buenos Aires.

Experience the new Football Intelligence system which unlocks an unprecedented platform of football realism, putting you at the centre of every match in FIFA 20.

Authentic Game Flow gives players more awareness of time, space, and positioning, putting greater emphasis on your play. You'll also have more control over the Decisive Moments that decide the outcome of games in both attack and defence with a Set Piece Refresh, Controlled Tackling, and Composed Finishing. Finally, the Ball Physics System offers new shot trajectories, more realistic tackle interactions, and physics-driven behaviour, elevating gameplay to a new level of realism.

EA Sports previously announced Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard as cover athlete for the FIFA 20 Standard Edition and Liverpool FC’s Virgil van Dijk as the cover of the FIFA 20 Champions Edition, while it has now revealed Zinedine Zidane as FUT ICON & Ultimate Edition Cover Star
