The mobile offshoot of FIFA 20, FIFA Mobile, tries something new: With a high-tech gadget, real-life performances are transferred into the game. That is yours.
What is FIFA Mobile? FIFA Mobile is a standalone FIFA game for your smartphone. It shares some features with FIFA 20, for example, there is also an Ultimate Team mode.
However, it runs differently than on console or PC. There are fewer available players and fewer modes. One difference from the “big” FIFA: You can improve your players’ stats in Ultimate Team – that was only possible on consoles within the Future Stars event with some cards. In FIFA Mobile, this can be done more extensively – and now also by going onto the football field yourselves.
Adidas and EA create gadget that improves your teams
High-tech chip for your feet: Together with EA Sports and Google, a device named “GMR” has been developed. It is an insole with a chip that captures your athletic performances in real life, especially on the football field. The catch: You can use this to improve your FIFA team.
This is how the chip works: The chip in your football boots registers actions like passes, shots, and sprints. These are saved and can give you advantages in the game. This works with a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a processor built into the chip. It somewhat resembles gadgets like the Pokéball Plus – only you train your FIFA team with the GMR instead of Pokémon.
You can complete real challenges to secure boosts for your FIFA team. There should be new challenges every week – but the exact details have not been revealed yet. Additionally, the chip also includes a Dybala player item for your team.
However, the GMR pack isn’t exactly cheap: It currently costs 34.95 euros and is available at Adidas stores.
Can you score crazy goals in FIFA Mobile too? This happens often in FIFA 20 – sometimes even by accident:
