EA Sports FC 24 Critic Reviews

FC24 doesn’t miss the Fifa branding at all and there’s endless enjoyment to be had here, both solo or with pals either on the couch or online.

Continuous delivery that maintains the bases of previous editions, without making revolutionary changes but adding some new features that are quite promising. If Ultimate Team is well managed throughout the year, the mode could provide extra variety that was probably lacking in other seasons and allow us to enjoy it in different ways.

EA Sports FC 24 features technology that improves the game beyond what's been seen before, making the beautiful game even more appealing.

The most playable FIFA – oops! – in years. This is an encouraging new start for the EA Sports FC franchise, with Ultimate Team innovations truly standing out, and PlayStyles adding a smart new wrinkle to the on-turf action.

What EA has done with its relaunched soccer title is define the series going forward. EA SPORTS FC 24 shows off what sports games are capable of on the field by creating unique circumstances boiled down to an individualistic experience while adding even more stadium and broadcast atmosphere for a series that needed a change. The tech has always been there for this series, and this year what has been added has all been put together to create one of the best sports games in recent times. The gameplay is satisfying and it doesn’t get redundant. There are a good bit of modes to dive into, but besides more in-depth improvements to each mode, no major modes have been added. The current state of playing online is frustrating, and hopefully this can get resolved. From a gameplay perspective, the only improvement needs to come from controller vibration feedback being made on contact. I feel like the DualSense is being underutilized here and while I understand it’s not American football, some of these collisions deserve more than just a vague and light rumble.

EA Sports FC 24 can be considered the perfect start for the next chapter in EA's franchise, as the game improves upon the foundations left by FIFA 23 while also adding a few game-changing and truly welcome features. Being on the pitch never felt better!

Improvements across the board see the FIFA era left behind. Gameplay to sate purists meets fun fantasy elements – like teams featuring men and women.

EA Sports FC 24 is a beautiful new look for a classic that has been evolving for decades and establishing itself as the main sports simulator on the market. With even better gameplay, more intuitive menus and modes that allow you to get to the field as quickly as possible, this is ultimate proof that the name change doesn't matter - the quality remains the same.

EA SPORTS FC 24 is not a revolution in the football world, but an evolution of what we have seen in past FIFA seasons. A mammoth amount of content and a game structure that convinces, albeit with some flaws, are a good calling card for this "debut-non-debut", which promises to keep virtual footballers busy for a long time, be they potential coaches, hunters of stickers or street game enthusiasts.

EA Sports FC 24 is a safe rebrand of the FIFA series. While it doesn’t stray too far from its predecessor, new additions improve the overall gameplay. Playstyles highlight skills and HyperMotionV helps to make each athlete feel distinct. All of these aspects merge to create one of the most authentic football games to date. Even though monetization plagues Ultimate Team and Career Mode is largely the same, FC 24 refines moments on the pitch to make each touch a thrill.

EA Sports FC 24 brings us a little closer to the most realistic football. The new features in immersion are the perfect wrapper for a gameplay that is essentially the same, but which features more important new features than we expected. We only regret that it continues to suffer from continuity and the lack of new features in FIFA game modes.

It's no longer FIFA, it's EA Sports FC 24 – but EA Sports new football-game barely feels like a fresh start for the series. While it provide proper additions like the Hypermotion V animations and their effects on the match-flow, career modes lack change and Ultimate Team is more pay-to-win than ever before.

EA Sports FC 24 continues EA Tiburon's hard work that has evolved, especially in recent years. The experience is more fun than before and the learning curve feels shorter than before. Sure, many vices cause many errors in the game, but that does not make the video game inoperative. Electronic Arts soccer game is going in the right direction and is worth enjoying for what it is.

EA SPORTS FC 24 represents a new stage in many ways, but in others it maintains a continuous line.

It is noted that Electronic Arts decided to pause various improvements in FIFA 23, to have a greater repertoire in its new installment that is completely separated from the license of the world soccer body.

Slightly better than FIFA 23, micro-transactions remain prominent in EA FC 24, also questionable computer AI. It's a beautiful, solid but not spectacular sport title.

There still remain many of the progression problems with Ultimate Team that are likely to never leave though, and while we are all used to them now, it doesn't make it any less frustrating to deal with as a 'free-to-play' player. Menus are also a big sticking point that I hope improves soon, and fans of Career Mode and Clubs will once again likely feel left out in favour of the bigger brother that is Ultimate Team.

Even though the feeling on the pitch is only slight different, not all of the new gameplay additions hit the mark - but even so, there's something that makes EA Sports FC 24 feel like the freshest games in the series, and certainly a good way to leave FIFA behind.

EA FC 24 emphatically puts any concerns to rest by delivering the most complete and satisfying depiction of the beautiful game seen to date. The gameplay that fans know and love has been tweaked and polished to make for a deeply enjoyable 90 minutes each time the whistle blows.

EA FC 24 fulfills most of its promises and shows that it remains the definitive soccer game. The new visuals make perfect use of the available technology to promote a richer experience for fans of the sport. There are small problems here and there as well as remnants of dated approaches to some game modes, but even so, EA FC 24 ushers in a new era of soccer games in a big way and proves that it's not just more of the same.
