What happened to the career mode information? I thought that it was due out before the Pro Club news...

Shoulda been out a month ago. But knowing EA they said end of July . So I’m guessing Wednesday July 31. Lol

Shaun showed us some video from FIFA 19 and expressed to us that the team felt that the ball physics and lack of movement of the ball in flight in terms of spin and rotation was unacceptable in comparison to how a ball would actually move on the pitch in real life.

So let me ask this question. If it was unacceptable how and why did it pass QA and allowed to be in the game when it was released by EA? Does this make sense to anyone here?

EA is great at dazzling us with their game trailers and pumping up their game each year with their blog posts and interviews.

Until we actually see gameplay footage and someone playing the CPU, or when I get my hands on the timed trial from EA Access I will hold off judgement on Fifa 2020 and lower my expectations until this happens. But a part of me can't feel but think that I will be disappointed again.

Let's see what happens.

Not a mention from EA, not a line from this article... let's a make some pressure

Encouraging write up, with one glaring trouble spot: Fouls

You note the new free kick system and seeing Messi bang them in. Problem is in your limited time you note one opportunity. There in lies a fundamental issue for YEARS with this series, a complete and utter lack of whistles. As a strong supporter of this franchise, its so frustrating to see this be both not corrected but also not noted as a glaring issue by those in a position to have their voice heard. I have hundreds of hours of footage on twitch, and many many many examples of this issue. Heck, we even isolate the referee and track his eyes!

EA will continue to get my money, because for me, it’s the only real option available. Just sad to see!

It's pretty easy to explain, it's not a simple QA issue. It's a feature issue. If there's not development scope for something like that, it's not getting fixed. It's a "bug" that would just be shipped.
