In FIFA 20, the Volta mode offers multiplayer. How to play Volta online and what you can do there is explained here.
These modes are offered by Volta in FIFA 20: Volta is the new “FIFA Street” mode, integrated into FIFA 20. Instead of kicking on the green grass, you play here on the street or on other small playing fields in 3v3, 4v4, or even 5v5. In Volta, it is mainly about skills and fancy tricks.
Volta includes:
- a story mode – Find information about the Volta story here
- the Volta Tour (these are single-player matches against teams generated by the community. An internet connection is required)
- the Volta Kick-off mode (here you can have real teams like Chelsea or PSG compete in small fields)
- the Volta League (this is the multiplayer mode where you kick against other players online).
Volta League brings “FIFA Street” online seasons to FIFA 20
The Volta League offers: According to EA Sports, the Volta League is a mode similar to the online seasons of previous FIFA parts. In it, you can compete against other players online and rise to higher leagues with victories.
You can determine the match settings and the home playing field. There are no substitutions, no offsides, no injuries, no red or yellow cards, and no stamina.
EA Sports does not specify in detail what match settings you can make online. Presumably, you can determine the match type (3v3, 4v4, 5v5, and with or without goalkeeper).
A match against an opponent is supposed to proceed in such a way that you initially play with your set rules (game type, venue, field size) and then in the second leg play according to the opponent’s rules.
Progress in Volta
This is team management: Before each Volta match, you may determine your starting lineup. You must wisely choose the formation and players in advance, as there are no substitutions during a game.
This is how you improve the team: By recruiting better players, your team rating increases.
You can recruit new players by winning against other teams in Volta. Then you are allowed to choose a player from the opposing team and add a copy of them to your team. Recruited players are copies of players from opposing teams. In other words: If you lose a game and a player from you is recruited, you do not lose that player.
You can recruit a maximum of 9 players. If you want to recruit more, you must replace one player from your team with the new one.
You have a unique avatar that you can upgrade
This is what makes your avatar special: While the maximum 9 recruited players have fixed stats, your created avatar is a dynamic player.
By playing in all possible Volta matches with your avatar, its attributes grow. After each match, the avatar receives a rating based on match performance. If you play good passes, assist goals, or score goals yourself, the rating increases. If you make bad passes or poor tackles, the rating decreases.
A higher match rating leads to greater progress for your avatar. Depending on where your avatar is playing (as a striker, midfielder, or defender), certain attributes will increase faster or slower.
The avatar development is shown to you after each match:
What else can the avatar do? Your own avatar has a skill tree that allows you to give it traits and thus personalize it.
By playing matches in any Volta modes, you can earn skill points to unlock additional attribute boosts or unique gameplay abilities.
The skill tree has 3 branches – one for traits that improve you as a striker, midfielder, or defender. But you can mix the skills freely.
If you complete certain skill tree paths, you unlock titles that you can use to decorate your avatar and showcase what you have achieved to the world.
Volta focuses on team chemistry
This is the chemistry in Volta: FUT players know the importance of good team chemistry. In Volta, you also need to pay attention to team chemistry.
A higher chemistry grants all your players on the field attribute boosts. If you exhibit low chemistry, your opponent may have advantages on the field.
These 2 things improve team chemistry:
- Position the players in their preferred positions
- Ensure that the players like the formation you put them in
For each player, you can view a variety of info and stats:
Additionally, there are 7 different chemistry styles that ensure that certain attributes are improved. You activate the chemistry styles by positioning players from the same home field.
In Volta, there are a total of 17 different playing fields, ranging from Berlin to Rome to Tokyo. In the image above, “Rome” is indicated as the home field.
