This will allow players to don shirts, sweaters, shoes, and vanity items galore as they progress through the new VOLTA game mode.

The game mode will also feature a heavy focus on creative cosmetics, much like NHL Ones introduced to EA Sports' hockey-based franchise last year. Arena locations will range from an underpass in Amsterdam to a rooftop in Tokyo, where players can play in 3-on-3 matchups (sans goalkeeper), 4-on-4 (with or without goalkeepers), 5-on-5, and professional footsal matchups.

Players who hop into FIFA 20's new game mode will be able to design their own male or female footballer and take them into street matchups, where flair and creativity are emphasized in tighter playing spaces of various sizes. The name of the new game mode means "return" in Portuguese, and this one was about seven years in the making. The game mode is a spiritual successor to FIFA Street, which last appeared as a standalone title in 2012. The new game mode will allow fans to build up their own squad, progress through a new story mode, jump into kick-off games, and test their mettle online in a league-based system that has promotion and relegation. While there certainly are some obvious candidates like the aforementioned FIFA Street, I'd like to imagine the most ardent of fans would tend to focus on the annual releases, which is what this list will definitely angle towards.Football fans who tuned in to EA Play earlier today got their first look at FIFA 20, and it may have given veteran FIFA fans a wave of nostalgia: EA Sports is putting in a FIFA Street-style game mode called VOLTA. Annual game franchises tend to be conservative in their changes, although hardcore fans are able to notice even the most minute of gameplay tweaks. The debate surrounding the best game in the series has been a hot button topic for fans since the early 2000s and is a bit more difficult to rank compared to a first-person shooter or third-person action series. The FIFA series, while primarily an annual football simulation franchise, has taken a few chances with games like fan favorite FIFA Street and the quadrennial FIFA World Cup games alongside some smaller DLC releases like UEFA Euro 2012 and the now cancelled FIFA Manager titles. Something I know all too well after more than a decade playing EA's FIFA and Konami's PES/ Winning Eleven games. Soccer fans from all over the world are able to re-live their favorite team's best moments, both on the club and international levels, and duke it out online against teams from different continents. However, not every football game is created equal.

After many years of watching European football on television, I'd like to think I know a little bit about what makes for a good simulation of the 'beautiful game'.
