10 Ways FIFA Has Gotten WORSE With Every Year
9. New Gimmicks To Gloss Over All The Problems
The Journey and Volta are new modes that have been added to FIFA in recent years to try and increase content for players that prefer to play on single player. Both have been heavily used in the marketing of recent FIFA games, but merely paper over the cracks in the franchise.
The Journey was enjoyable when it was first introduced in FIFA 17, but in FIFA 18 and FIFA 19 it appeared that it had been added as an afterthought.
Volta also seemed like a good idea, but take away the initial excitement of playing a new 'FIFA Street' and it added very little. The mode was short and while you could play online there was no option to team up with friends.
Both the Journey and Volta could have been really impressive modes If EA Sports had focused more of their attention on them. Despite both being good ideas, they were executed badly and left players thinking what could have been.
