I was a big fan of FIFA STREET 4 (PS3/X360, the 2012 version), and recently the RPCS3 PS3 emulator allowed us to use our PS3 disk of FIFA STREET 4 to be able to emulate the game on PC................in shiny stunning 4K...
So recently, ahead of FIFA 20's demo, I had been playing FIFA STREET 4 a lot in its surprisingly beautiful 4K mode via the RPCS3 emulator to get in the mood for the upcoming Volta, and I started noting down the skill moves that the CPU AI were capable of pulling off, as I wanted to compare them to the CPU AI attempts at skill moves in FIFA 20's Volta.
Typically.............during the FIFA 20 Beta stage, all the YouTube uploaded videos, and the usual streamers, posted videos of them "having to beat the Amateur AI" so as not to spoil their "reputations"..........this meant to view the CPU AI in action, we were only able to witness some fuddy duddy Amateur AI in action in Volta, and it made Volta look very lame indeed against the CPU AI...
So, along comes the demo, and now the trial, of FIFA 20...................and I have been noting down the very same kind of things, i.e. the CPU AI skill moves that we witness when playing against it (ok, hands up, I am a big CPU vs CPU kinda guy, I love to look at AI innovations as the years go by...), and boy, are we in for a treat.
Those who thought FIFA Street was not being presented with an "update" within FIFA 20 can be mistaken, because although a few of the top top skills from FIFA Street havent been witnessed by me in the CPU AI in Volta as yet, I can honestly say my A4 piece of paper with my handwritten "Waka Waka, Taekondo Pass, One Foot Roulette, Rainbow Back Heel Pass, Neymar Special Rainbow Flick, Ball Hop Pass, and Tornado Pass" etc etc has filled up so quickly with all the skills I have witnessed, and I can state right now that the level of skills and the organic movement of the players, as well as the organic ball physics in Volta, has taken me by massively pleasant surprise, after labouring through witnessing the Amateur AI as "presented by the FIFA 20 Beta test 'experts' " on Youtube in recent months.
FIFA 20 Volta................is damn good. It may be dismissed by many and I can understand why, but please give it a go and you will start to see what I mean...
I seriously advise, as a one-off, and even though most want to keep playing, setting it in Volta mode as CPU vs CPU in Legendary AI level to watch Brazil vs Brazil in any of the Volta 3v3, 4v4, Futsal etc modes.....its awesome, organic, and has real depth in terms of the AI logic. Make sure Neymar and Cointra are in the CPU AI team, the game picks random players so just go out and in a few times until those 2 are in the Brazil team.
I might even try out the main FIFA 20 game soon...................
