FIFA 20 Career Mode: 7 New Additions You Need To Know

4. Dynamic Player Potential

EA received a lot of criticism last year for the way player potential was handled. Often, it didn't make sense, with players going out on loan and coming back without so much as gaining a point. Others, specifically older players, suddenly became crap overnight just because they'd celebrated their 32nd birthday.

Must've been a rough party.

Now, 'Dynamic Player Potential' will properly govern how players young and old improve or decline. Young strikers who bag a ton of goals in their first season will be rewarded by a boost for the second one. Older pros who manage to keep pace with the demands of first team football won't suddenly become naff because they happen to be nearing the end of their careers.

It's no longer a case of simulating training with youngsters and watching their stats miraculously rise. In FIFA 20, players will get better faster when they have minutes on the pitch. They'll still improve with training, but not as quickly or super-human-like as they did before.
