Hoofball Bringing it back for FM20

Hoofball Bringing it back for FM20

  Whether you call it Hoofball, Longball, Kick and Rush or Route One, as a tactical approach it has had a long history in Football.

Almost everyone I spoke to felt the same way. There wasn’t much to be excited about before the FM20 beta came out, but it was still a chance to start afresh with updated squads. Yet the game feels more professional and realistic. Let me explain!
