Electronic Arts have released a FIFA 20 update for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. FIFA 20 patch 1.13’s main focus is on improving some gameplay mechanics and fixing some minor issues that occurred from time to time, much to the annoyance of the players.
What gameplay changes does FIFA 20 patch 1.13 bring
Most gameplay changes encourage a more attacking approach for FIFA 20. The players who have ratings of 80+ in dribbling, agility and balance get the most out of it as both their dribbling abilities and their sprint speed are enhanced.
To be more specific, the dribbling will now be more responsive than before when you’re not using any dribbling modifiers or skill moves. As for the speed, the boost comes in the form of the very particular exit speed when sprinting out of a strafe dribble. Naturally, both improvements will get better the higher the player’s dribbling, agility, and balance ratings are.
Some of the other notable changes to FIFA 20 include the increased accuracy and effectiveness of green-timed shots, close-quarter shots and shots taken from a small angle, reduction of the time a player can spend at Kick Off from 30 seconds to 15 seconds and a fix to the Offside Logic which had the nasty habit of detecting the wrong pass receiver in the most inopportune moments.
