FIFA 20 is barely two months old and loyal players are already growing frustrated with the gameplay.As with every edition, a number of new changes were added to the famous football franchise, with an added element of realism supposedly injected into the game.However, it's been anything but, with players struggling to make a simple ground pass, seeing their shot from 10 yards out dribble past the post and being unable to swap between players when defending.It's made the game incredibly difficult to play, but the prayers of the FIFA community may finally have been answered by EA Sports.That's because in the latest patch notes from the company, they appear to have remedied the three key issues with their game play.

  • The target, in this context, is the exact location of where the ball is expected to go, determined through a mixture of directional input, and the Shooting Assistance setting.
