The gameplay in FIFA 20 has received mixed reviews, with many praising the smoother mechanics and the introduction of the Volta mode as a creative addition. However, criticisms include inconsistent gameplay, a lack of innovation in career mode, and issues with online multiplayer functionality. Overall, while there are improvements, some players feel the game still falls short of greatness due to various gameplay flaws.
- “Volta is a brilliant addition to FIFA and the gameplay is better than ever, but a few own goals hold FIFA 20 back from greatness.”
- “Volta football is a creative new way to enjoy FIFA, house rules are a much-needed addition to friendlies and FUT, gameplay mechanics are as good as ever.”
- “Volta football is a blast, a variety of ways to play Ultimate Team, soccer gameplay continues to shine, plenty of modes to keep you busy until next year.”
- “Career mode still feels neglected; gameplay could use some tweaking.”
- “Bad patches to gameplay are coming; unable to play with a friend online in Volta, some randomness and inconsistent gameplay, career mode is still uninspired, and there are non-decisive tackling and rebound goals.”
- “With unsurprisingly shady surprise mechanics and little to no significant movement on the pitch, FIFA 20 is a stopgap entry that only has Volta to boast about.”

The monetization in the game is heavily criticized for its predatory microtransactions, particularly in Ultimate Team, which is seen as pay-to-win. While Volta mode offers some enjoyment, it fails to overshadow the overall lack of innovation and the continued exploitation of powerful teams through seasonal updates.

- “The focus on microtransactions continues to be a concern, as the season still abuses powerful teams, and innovation remains minimal.”
- “While the game offers exciting features, the microtransactions can feel predatory, leading to a lack of innovation outside of Volta mode.”
- “FUT microtransactions still feel predatory, with an overall lack of innovation outside of Volta mode.”
