Many would be disappointed – angry, even, at EA’s decision to abandon the Switch while it’s still riding high – but we don’t doubt at least some of FIFA 19’s small but core Switch following would have bought it. For those who bought FIFA 19, you can buy a £14.99 DLC that upgrades it to the FIFA 20 Legacy Edition and is essentially a data pack updating the squads and kits”. Imagine if EA had decided to say: “Look, this isn’t working for us on Switch. When there are no extra modes to help you gain in-game coins and you’re dealing with a transfer market that’s around 70 times smaller than on other systems, it doesn’t matter if Ultimate Team is in there. The new 'Seasons' service – where you get XP for playing games and clearing various challenges and earn fun new rewards for hitting certain levels, like retro 16-bit footballs and the like – is nowhere to be found here.Īdd this to the fact that previous years’ Ultimate Team features are still missing – no Squad Battles, no FUT Champions, no Division Rivals – and it’s little wonder that at the time of writing there are just 15,402 players and items listed on the Switch Ultimate Team transfer market (compared to well over a million on the Xbox One version). ![]() That’s the big one, isn’t it?” Well, yes, but it’s identical to the Ultimate Team mode we saw in FIFA 18 and 19 (and don’t forget the one in FIFA 18 was already missing features even back then). “At least Ultimate Team is still in there. ![]() We long for the glory days when FIFA 97 on the SNES got the new indoor football mode just like its big brothers on PlayStation and Saturn. There is absolutely zero trace of Volta in the Switch version of FIFA, meaning Nintendo fans are completely left out of arguably the biggest addition to this year’s instalment. “What about all this shiny new Volta street football mode EA’s been going on about ever since it announced FIFA 20? All the official trailers were full of Volta this, Volta that, it sounds like a pretty big deal.” Well, we hope the weather is good, because the only way you’ll be getting street football on the Switch is by taking it outside and playing in an alleyway. “But hey there, Nintendo Life,” we hear you ask. Actually, sorry, you get new menu music, too. ![]() As with other Legacy Editions, the summer’s transfers have been updated, this season’s new kits replace the old ones and the four new stadiums added to the other versions make it in here too, but that’s literally it. What does this mean if you buy FIFA 20 on the Switch? Well, simply put, it means you’ve just bought FIFA 19 again. There was mass uproar about the suggestion that EA was trying to trick dedicated players on ‘lesser’ consoles by chucking the exact same game out with updated transfers, and so from FIFA 14 onwards EA started adding the ‘Legacy Edition’ name to make it clear what you’re getting. It presumably came about as a response to the drama caused when it was revealed ( by this very writer, actually) that FIFA 13 on the Wii was identical to FIFA 12 with only the kits and squad line-ups changed. To clarify, Legacy Edition is the cursed subtitle EA’s been adding to ‘dead’ updates of its games ever since FIFA 14.
