Fifa 20 on Switch has a 0.2 User Score on Metacritic lol
- Thread starter Lant_War
- Start date
Yeah, but even then there are a lot of 10's to counter the low scores.
This time tough it seems that everyone agrees that it's shit.
I mean, Nintendo published a turd called Devil's Third at full price and even ARK was approved lol
If both these games were allowed to be released, FIFA 20 has every right to be released on Nintendo Switch as well
They should get nailed for releasing the same game over and over.
konami should REALLY take advantage the current situation imo. even a mediocre port of a PES game from a few years ago will be better received than fifa 19 with a new cover.
you can't release the same game as last year under a new title and expect the same scores. you're fooling some people into paying for a game they already have, and putting out a pointless product. they deserve much lower scores.
Still baffles me how little EA seems to care about the Switch and how little effort the put into their ports, like this isn't an WiiU situation, it's a success and market mainstay now. Like even if it was just ports of the old line up would be one thing, but this seems like self sabotage.
Why would us care about EA games if they don't give us EA games? FIFA 2020 is only a update of squads for almost the same price of a complete game.
So if they are openly fraudulently pricing a FIFA 2019 update as a new game, the last thing I would care is if they are happy or not.
I can't believe they had the fucking gall to release the same game at basically full price. Shameful
That reviews have scored this slightly below the midpoint for all possible scores really emphasizes how wacky game scores are
Why would they? Why do people manipulate scores in the first place? And as I said, I'm not saying that's what's going on here. It's just to highlight how useless userscores on metacritic are.
Look at the userscores on the other versions of FIFA 20. They're all nearly as low as this, despite those versions being much much better.
It's not on the customers to support something that they find to be sub par or a rip off, that's on EA to make worthwhile games which they haven't for Nintendo systems for many years now besides sub par ports.
exactly. in a month where so many great games came out, EA just coming out with this lame excuse of a "new" release is just pathetic.
Sure, I agree it is a beyond shitty practice and I'm sure EA will get "feedback" and people will say "that was the last one I bought", when the squad update isn't enough for them, even when EA's yearly sports-game model was never to provide much more than what last years edition had. Yeah now it is the absolute minimum effort and there are probably people buying that game for a second year in a row and only then understanding, what EA is doing.
All I'm saying is that those "reviews" (at least as aggregates) appear to be as useless as the user scores because they barely even reflect the game part in their score anymore when reviewers resort to bombing the game for stagnation instead of idk copy pasting their review from last year or maybe not reviewing the game at all if they're gonna sacrifice their credibility over it. At least that's how it seems to me
44 on a 0-100 scale is of course much better than 0.1 on a 0-10 scale.
The narrative that userscores are useless because they can be manipulated is useless itself. Because it would mean that every score should land near 50% because people manipulating it would constantly try to outdo themselves.
What about 30% userscore? or 70% userscore? Why aren't they 0% or 100% if manipulating it was so easy?
do you think if CDprojekt re-released witcher 3 with very minimal changes as a new full price game and called it witcher 4, it would deserve the same high scores as 3 got?
It is just a roster update sold for full price in the UK and far too much here in the US.
Meh, I haven't bought an EA game in awhile after they bought my fav studio Bioware awhile back. At this stage, EA has a vendetta against Nintendo it seems dating to the NES era and they put minimal effort to say they're "providing 3rd party support". Nintendo knows it, but can't do anything barring buying EA. EA sports games will still sell, but that extra cash on Switch probably doesn't matter to them.
what changes would that be, though? Squad updates are not minimal changes but more like the essential changes for considering playing the game for another year.
If they added a few new characters and questlines, a new clothing option for Geralt, a remixed soundtrack, called it The Witcher 4 S and released it on Switch people would eat it up and ignore the stupid name ;)
this isn't about porting a game to a new system for the first time. this is the same game, on the same system.
and no, just a roster update is an extremely minimal change that can probably be delivered to players with a 100MB update. i know people make jokes about sports games being the same thing every year, but there are changes, new modes and improvement beyond just the mandatory roster update.
People still don't realize it's Nintendo and they font matter to these publishers. I can't think of many games that are perfect fits for switch yet they are no where to be found.
this is also not about a story-driven game being sold under a different name with the same story.
this is a game that is purely about the enjoyment of the gameplay, be it alone or with other people in a certain synchronicity with the real world sport counterpart.
and it can be released, no one will stop EA. but users and critics are allowed to review bomb it for the scummy practice of re-releasing a year old product under a different title.
So I'm guessing they just got review bombed rather than a bunch of people doing this because of the Legacy Edition stuff.
Reviews exist to inform users. Lots of people just look at metacritic scores and don't read the text. It's infinitely better for them to trash the game score wise for being the same than just repaste an old review. The game is being sold for full price. Users could go and buy Fifa 19 for a fraction of the price and get the same game.
Like what the fuck kind of logic is this?
And even so, one Nintendo website gives it 6.5 saying: " EA has shown enormous neglect in its new game for Nintendo Switch. Without just new content, the game is an update of faces, teams and t-shirts of FIFA 19. Only recommended for those who do not have FIFA 19 or do not mind the neglect of EA for Switch. "
Websites need to start using te whole scale. The review makes it sound like the game is a piece of shit, so why not give it a 2 or 3? 6.5 can be actually decent ¬¬

I always enjoy watching how much shit a fanbase can take before they crack and don't buy the game.
Its always fascinating.
Doesn't seem like we are at that point yet.

Last week was NNK, this week Fifa. What will be the next half assed game UK Nintendo fans will buy anyway?
The rest of y'all better have bought Dragon Quest XI S
At 2 years late (I guess 1 year for the West) it gets bought at a discount. I would have rather played this game on its initial release last year than have it come in Sept with literally a dozen other games I want to play.
perhaps they're making the clear distinction that the game isn't 'a piece of shit'? It's a poor value for folks who already own fifa 19 on Switch, but as a stand-alone bit of software, it delivers a pretty good game of football.
most of EA's games run on Frostbite. Nintendo made the choice to release a relatively weak console, ensuring a Frostbite port would be no trivial task.
perhaps Nintendo should work with EA to help smoothen a Frostbite port to Switch
Like, maybe take a breather and read my posts again?
Lmfao it's the same logic that makes the aggregated user-review score useless as a means to gauge the quality of a game.
At some point, we'll need to recognize these type of posts as shitposting.
There's a whole new mode in the game. 'Zero effort' my arse.
It's not "review bombing" when you criticize a game for being literally identical to the previous game outside of a roster update. Reviews aren't objective measures of a game's quality, and context most certainly matters to their overall conclusions.
Engine support is much more a function of feature set than of power. It's not that frostbite won't run on the Switch, it's that EA doesn't want to port it. That doesn't mean games like Battlefield would hit the Switch running at full HD 60 fps or such but if they wanted to port these games they could. You're not seriously going to say Fifa 20 is too much for the Switch are you?
