EA Sports FC 24 is the latest installment in EA's long-running and highly successful football franchise. With the FIFA licence now abandoned, EA has rebranded the game with the bland but unassuming FC 24 moniker. Despite the change in name, however, this is still a football game very much in the vein of its predecessors.
The first thing you'll notice about FC 24 is its refreshed main menu, which has been streamlined and improved compared to its predecessor. EA has also added a few new features such as PlayStyles and is tinkering with the underlying technology to make the game smoother and more accurate.
Once you get on the pitch, you'll notice the improved ball physics and player animation. The jockeying with opposition players and power-touch moves now feel intuitive, whereas before they had a slightly hit-or-miss feel. Overall, the gameplay is excellent and the passes go exactly where you want them to.
FC 24 offers a bewildering variety of ways to play the game. Manager Career lets you set up scouting networks, hire training staff, manage transfers, and take minute care of your players. Player Career lets you control the whole team or the virtual player you have created. Tournaments lets you jump into world leagues or cup campaigns. And Volta is a fun five-a-side mode that is a cross between FIFA and Super Mario Strikers.
Ultimate Team has also been tweaked, with the addition of Evolutions which lets you take specific player cards and improve their stats. And female players are seamlessly integrated, which ought to be seen as a good thing. However, the voracious appetite for microtransactions cash remains, and the more reactionary sections of Ultimate Team’s fanbase are sure to complain.
Online, we noticed some glitchiness in the form of mini-dropouts, which caused momentary freezes. Hopefully this will be taken care of by the time of the game's launch. Other than that, FC 24 is a stunningly polished and slick game that is sure to please football fans everywhere.
