About this game
FIFA 20 Legacy Edition centres on playing football matches with teams from international leagues. You can assign strategies on the field, practice penalty kicks or choose among Kick Off, Career Mode, licensed and custom tournaments, and Skill Games. These provide different formats for playing matches and working on individual situations. This Legacy Edition retains the Nintendo Switch FIFA 19 gameplay foundation without new gameplay features or major changes, while updating menu and commentary presentation. VOLTA Football is not included. The game supports single and dual Joy-Con configurations, but EA's online services for the Switch edition have ended, so historical descriptions of online modes no longer describe usable services.
Collected in series
FIFA is EA SPORTS’ football series built around passing moves, defensive decisions and the excitement of scoring. Across its history, careers, Ultimate Team and women’s football broadened the experience beyond individual matches.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
An option for familiar football formats, with limited appeal if new gameplay systems are the priority.
Penalty practice and on-field strategy assignment may suit players who enjoy focusing on individual situations as well as full matches. Its retained FIFA 19 foundation makes the design more relevant to that preference than to someone seeking a gameplay overhaul.
Strengths
- Kick Off, Career Mode and tournaments offer different ways to frame match play.
- Penalty practice provides a focused activity for players who like working on a specific football situation.
Weaknesses
- For an existing Switch FIFA 19 player seeking new gameplay systems, the unchanged foundation offers little design novelty.
Who it is for: Players interested in league-team football, tactical assignments and offline match formats who accept the Legacy Edition's retained systems.
Play notes: VOLTA Football is absent, and EA's online services for this Switch edition have ended.
