EA Sports FC24 has arrived and while it may not have the iconic name we're all used to, it's still a familiar experience. After spending a weekend with the new game, it's clear that fans won't have much trouble adapting to the new name.
The good news is that EA has been able to retain official licenses for the major football leagues, domestic cups, and European cups. Unfortunately, the split with FIFA means the World Cup won't be featured in the game. This has allowed EA to completely rethink the franchise and introduce a range of new innovations.
The main menu has been reworked and makes navigating the game's many modes simple and logical. Some of the modes on offer include Ultimate Team, Player and Manager career modes, Tournaments, Seasons, and Volta Football. PlayStyles have been introduced which allow you to customize your player's attributes and unlock new skill moves.
The graphics, animations, and ball physics have all been upgraded and with the new volumetric motion capture derived from real-life TV footage, the game looks and feels more true-to-life than ever. The presentation is also phenomenal with player models being more recognizable than ever and cute touches like stats overlayed on the pitch.
Finally, the representation of women's football in the game is better than ever. The addition of the Women's Super League and a range of international teams means that female players will now be able to play the game with the teams they support.
All in all, EA Sports FC24 is a great game and one that will keep fans of the series happy.
EA Sports FC 24 is the newest football game from EA, and it is a very familiar experience. It is the first post-FIFA FIFA game, and although the name may be bland and insubstantial it still offers the same great experience as its predecessors. EA has managed to retain the official licences for all the major football leagues, as well as the official UEFA licence, so fans will still get to experience all the teams from the Premier League, the Football League, all Europe’s domestic cup competitions, and all European cup competitions - minus the World Cup, which was lost due to EA’s split with FIFA.
EA has used this forced rebrand to completely rethink the franchise, introducing a raft of technical innovations and reworking the main menu. The new main menu is much simpler and logical, and it shows how EA would like you to play its game, with the card-based Ultimate Team, the franchise’s microtransactions-centric dream team generator mode, at the top.
The game offers a variety of modes, such as the two different career modes: Player and Manager. In the Player Career Mode, you can work your way up from non-league football or start off at your favourite Premiership club, plus you can opt to control just yourself or your entire team in games against the AI. Manager Mode lets you drill down into the minutiae of hiring backroom staff, setting training drills, dealing with transfers, and sending scouts out to find the latest talent in foreign climes.
PlayStyles have been newly conceived to make the Player Career mode more interesting. They let you customise your player’s attributes in role-playing fashion, and different PlayStyles unlock different skill moves. Other modes available include Tournaments, which lets you pick a tournament and work through it against AI-powered opposition; Seasons, which is an online competition that you can play solo or co-operatively; and Clubs, which is similar to Seasons but you control just one player.
Graphics, ball physics, animations, and more have been upgraded for FC 24 and it even introduces volumetric motion capture derived from real-life TV footage. The game is buttery smooth and plays out more true-to-life than ever before. It also has great presentation, with players more recognisable than ever and cute touches such as stats which overlay themselves on the pitch.
Finally, women’s football is better represented than ever in this game. You can choose to play as a female in all the game’s modes, allowing you to experience the game from a different perspective. With its familiar feel and new features, EA Sports FC 24 is sure to be a hit with football fans.
