EA Sports FC24: The World’s Game reinvented

A new era for the World’s Game

Many players will be sad to leave the beloved FIFA franchise behind, but a new beginning means that there are many opportunities to improve and make things even better. EA seems determined to do just that, creating a whole new era for the World’s Game. The new franchise will be called EA Sports FC and will continue the tradition of highly cinematic, satisfying gameplay. The new game is scheduled for release on September 29th. The new logo of FC, in the shape of a triangle, has been designed to underline the importance that the shape has both in real-life football and in the videogame: just think of the marker above the player-controlled character or the polygons that make up everything on screen. It may seem a small detail to many players, but it’s proof of the attention and dedication EA is putting into this rebranding.

A game that’s larger than life

EA Sports FC24 will be a big game, with lots of options to choose from. Let’s go over some of its numbers:

• Over 30 football leagues from all over the world - Experience the Premier League, the EFL, LALIGA, the italian Serie A, Bundesliga, as well as the female NWSL or LigaF among many others.
• More than 700 clubs - All the clubs being part of the mentioned leagues will be featured in the game, and many more.
• Over 19 thousand players - If this was a Pokémon game, players would have a hard time catching ‘em all! With so many players at your disposal, the possibilities in creating your team are practically endless.
• 115 stadiums - Featuring so many real-life football fields means that you can play in all the major locations all over the world.

Innovation is at its foundation

Coming to the technical side, EA Sports FC24 is powered by the updated Hypermotion V technology, which represents volumetric data from over 180 real-life matches in order to improve player’s movements and realism. This is going to be a feast for your eyes! Each player will have some Playstyle, an attribute that improves the character’s effectiveness in several aspects. Some characters will be able to shoot faster, jump higher or be more acrobatic, reflecting the actual skills of their real-life counterparts. EA Sports FC24 is not only about being on the field. In Career mode, you can opt to follow the Manager Career, which allows you to decide all kinds of things about your team. A notable innovation is the Tactical Vision, which lets you select the strategy your team shall adopt. You will have a choice from several real-life tactics, like Park the Bus or Gegenpressing. Will you be able to lead your team to victory?

The World’s Game is for everyone

One of the first things that players will notice about EA Sports FC24 is the focus on Women’s football. Many female teams and leagues are featured, and what’s possibly the most controversial innovation is the ability to mix male and female players in a FUT team. This move sparked criticism about “unrealistic gameplay” in online communities, but since FUT is basically a “fantasy” mode where you can create your dream team with players who could never play together in real life that seems unmotivated. Football brings people together through the universal language of sports, so EA’s inclusive approach is commendable for increasing awareness and expanding the options available to people that want to play any way they like. Speaking about bringing people together, EA Sports has promised a 10 million dollar investment through the FC Futures Program to host community-level tournaments to promote the sport.

Get ready to kick-off!

In the end, it seems that EA Sports FC24 will be one hell of a game, possibly the best sports simulation to grace our gaming systems since the birth of videogames. All there is to do now is to wait until September 29th, when the game will be released. Naturally, you will be able to buy it here at Gamecardsdirect, the one-stop gift card shop!
