FIFA 20 Demo: Game discovers Mohamed Salah’s ‘diving trait’ glitch

FIFA 20 Demo: Game discovers Mohamed Salah’s ‘diving trait’ glitch, as the demo of new edition displays the latest gameplay to the fans.

FIFA 20 is about to be released, but before the official game release, EA Sports has taken out the demo version of the game for Xbox one, Playstation 4 and PC to let gamers try the new upgrades.

Although, demo versions are prone to glitches, since its not the final version of the game, but inclusion of Mohamed Salah’s diving trait glitch in this demo is the funniest glitch so far.

Reddit user u/SizerCosy posted footage of the Liverpool winger going to ground on the FIFA 20 demo, despite there being no contact from those around him.

Salah falls down dramatically, arms flailing in the air, before the gamer stops the instant replay clip.

At the start of the year, Salah was accused of simulation by many fans after he won soft penalties against Newcastle and Brighton.

Thus, it seems, people on FIFA 19, appeared to troll the Egyptian player, giving him a ‘Diver’ trait in previous edition of the game.

One user posted a screenshot on the FIFA subreddit and a quick browse on FIFA Index shows that Salah has indeed received the new characteristic as part of a new update.

The Egyptian International had the following traits: Beat Offside Trap, Finesse Shot, Speed Dribbler (CPU AI Only), Chip Shot (CPU AI Only) and Backs Into Player.

But now Salah joins the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Arjen Robben in being the experts in diving in this game.

With this EA Sports has taken fun and trolling part to a good level, but for sure this glitch will not be their in the final version of FIFA 20, as it is going to release in few days.
