FIFA 20 – Useful Volta Football Tips

by Falagar / Articles, FIFA 20 / 22 Aug 2019

1. Keep your defenders back

It can be very easy to get possession of the ball as a defender in Volta street football and then start making a dash for the opposing goal. If you see a clear opening, it might even make sense.

However, if you do this and lose possession immediately, you will be leaving your net wide open, and you will have very little chance to stop the other team from scoring. Stick to passing the ball to your midfielders or attackers in order to keep someone in proximity to your own net.

2. Don’t get too fancy with shots

FIFA 20 allows you to do all types of different shots, including “chip” shots and carefully-placed finesse shots, but these moves aren’t necessary for success in Volta Football. The ball will actually stay lower to the ground by default in the mode, making it easier to line up shots from farther away if need be.

However, the small size of the nets also means you still risk bouncing the ball off a wall or knocking it out of bounds. Don’t be afraid to get very close to the net before taking your shot, or even just dribbling the ball into the net when you can.

3. Master the through-pass

By pressing Triangle on PS4 or Y on Xbox One in FIFA 20, you can perform a “through-pass” to a teammate, which aims where they are going to be by the time the ball arrives rather than where they are currently standing.

Because there is no offside penalty in Volta, you can use the through-pass to open up huge holes in the defense and score an easy goal. Just don’t force a pass into very crowded zone, as it can get intercepted and turned into a goal for the other side.

4. Use the walls to your advantage

Playing on a Volta pitch that has walls? They can do a lot more than just stop the ball from going out of bounds. Instead of passing the ball directly to a teammate, try banking a pass off the wall, making it more difficult for defenders to stop it.

You can even pass the ball to yourself if you line the pass up correctly, which can momentarily confuse defenders long enough for you to switch positions.

5. Control Revvy directly

As you play through the Volta story mode, you will have the option each game to either control the entire team or main character Revvy directly. We heavily suggest you pick the latter option, at least when you’re starting out, as it gives you the chance to call for passes and learn where your teammates should position themselves. The computer-controlled players are also smart enough to push forward to receive passes, as well, so you can still rack up assists.
