The new edition of the famous game is set to be released on Friday, September 27.
This is a day earlier than last year’s version, with EA Sports having stuck to its September release since 2010.

Who will be the cover star for FIFA 20?
The new trailer did not reveal who will be the game’s main cover star.
Players from Real Madrid, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund were shown in action shots.
Cristiano Ronaldo has held the coveted title of being FIFA’s poster boy in the last two editions.
But leaks online hinted this week that Neymar will take over the mantle.

What new features are in the game?
FIFA will incorporate a street football mode into it, which appears similar to that of their previous games FIFA Street.
This will be called Volta Football, where you can play with three players each but no goalkeeper or 4v4, 5v5 and even professional futsal.
The locations for these include Amsterdam, London and even a Tokyo rooftop.
There will also be a Volta story mode, where you can create your own player and go through a narrative driven experience, playing street football legends and finish in a World Championship tournament in Argentina.
You can also play in a promotion and relegation system online.
FIFA 20 will also see Authentic Game Flow introduced, which puts more emphasis on user-controlled play.
The shooting on last year’s edition was heavily criticised and EA Sports are hoping to rectify this with Composed Finishing – which allows players more consistent and clinical finishing.
More updates on new features are set to be announced before the game is released in September – and career mode is among them after receiving criticism for the lack of attention paid to it by its creators.
