EA Sports FC 24 Reviews
While it isn’t another literal copy-and-paste of last year’s version, EA Sports FC 24 is still leagues worse on Nintendo Switch.
With the license gone this is the beginning of a new era, but it feels like business as usual - for better and for worse.
No, really-they've actually changed things this year, and the football feels better.
It might have a new name, but EA Sports FC 24 is just about the same, frustrating but beautiful game that FIFA's been for many years.
The slickest, smoothest and most technologically advanced not-FIFA game ever made, that makes an encouragingly positive start to a new era of football video games.
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.
With a rebrand and the FIFA license out of the picture, EA Sports FC 24 signals a new era for the long-running series, but it's mostly business as usual.
Sports FC 24 is not the complete departure from FIFA that its name would suggest. Most of the fundamentals remain in place and the career modes have barely been updated. Then again, Ultimate Team is the series' real money-spinner, coming with the addition of evolutions and mixed gender teams. Overall, the on-pitch gameplay is good, and you can see the extra animations enhancing the football sim, but it isn't a massive evolution of EA's flagship series.
EA Sports FC 24 brings us a little closer to more realistic football. The novelties in immersion are the perfect wrapper for a gameplay that is essentially the same, but that registers more important novelties than we expected. We only regret that it continues to sin of continuity and the lack of novelties in FIFA game modes.

EAFC 24 might go about achieving its goals in a slightly different way to the FIFA series, but it lands at the same end result. The same tempting sticker book collect-a-thon and absorbing gameplay carousel makes EAFC 24 a virtual footballing platform that demands your attention and is difficult to put down. Emulating the signature moves of your sporting heroes with box-office Playstyles is a highlight, but there will always be questions about whether the mechanic can stand up to the test of millions of players probing for overpowered exploits.
Good old FIFA, but bigger, better, smoother. It's underwhelming that EA Sports didn't go for a brand new experience for the debut of their "new IP", but at the same time FC 24 is a good game. On the structure of FIFA 23, EA Sports builds a series of improvements that increase the variety of the experience and introduce a compelling sense of uncertainty in the gameplay action. Very nice note: the management career is one of the best single player modes in years in the series.

EA Sports FC 24 is a good football simulator and is a good start as the new FIFA brand. However, Electronic Arts needs to take a step forward in some of the aspects of the game and improve for future releases. A good game for football fans and for those who enjoyed FIFA 23.

EA Sports FC 24 on Nintendo Switch means owners can finally feel like they have a proper option when it comes to one of the biggest games of the year.
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!
EA Sports FC 24 features technology that improves the game beyond what's been seen before, making the beautiful game even more appealing.
The rating would be much higher if the game wasn't being held back by the prevailing bugs. The sky is the limit for FC once EA iron out the creases.
The latest game in what was previously known as the Fifa series has some added RPG elements for upgrading players' skills
There are some flaws to it, but EA Sports FC 24 is one of the best soccer titles EA Sports has released in many years. The addition of HyperMotionV makes for some great gameplay changes, even if some modes like Career Mode and Ultimate Team remain quite stale.
The new EA Sports offering comes without the 'Fifa' branding, but it is all that different from what came before?
FIFA 24 in all but name, EA Sports FC 24 is not the bold reboot many may have hoped for when the publisher announced it was breaking away from football’s governing body. But beneath the air of familiarity is another slick soccer sim, with some smart new additions like PlayStyles and Precision Passing which help stamp a bit more personality on a previously robotic experience. Additions to Ultimate Team bring flexibility to the game’s flagship mode, while the developer has been listening to its fanbase, and is slowly iterating on oft neglected areas like Career Mode and Clubs.
