From the start, I was skeptical about EA FC 24, especially after EA split from FIFA. Many feared this could harm the beloved football game series. But did these concerns prove true? Absolutely not. Let’s dive into our full review and evaluation.
Gameplay
If you think EA FC 24 plays the same as FIFA 23, get ready for a surprise. The gameplay has completely evolved, thanks to the new Hypermotion V technology. This brings real-world-like player movements and match dynamics for a more immersive experience.
Attacking
Player speed is crucial in EA FC 24, with noticeable differences between fast players and others. Headers and Power Shots have improved significantly, feeling more automatic and less frustrating.
Passing is smooth and tactical, allowing for a “tiki-taka” playing style. Crosses are more accurate, corners are reliable, and through balls can effectively break defenses when timed well.
Defending
Defending feels brand-new, with better tackles and interceptions. The new Kinetic Shielding feature adds depth to defensive play, helping strong players like Van Dijk and Rudiger dominate aerial and physical duels.
Defender positioning is smarter, although not perfect, and manual dribbling is more challenging, making tactical setups and set pieces more important.
Graphics
The graphics in EA FC 24 are stunning. Player faces, body details, and vibrant stadium visuals look incredibly realistic. Menus are redesigned for smoother navigation, fixing a long-standing issue from previous FIFA games.
Career Mode
EA FC 24 introduces exciting features in Career Mode, like the Tactical Vision system. This allows you to implement your unique coaching style, from Guardiola’s tiki-taka to Klopp’s Gegenpressing.
Ultimate Team
Ultimate Team remains a core mode, now with new features like Evolutions. This lets you upgrade specific players throughout their journey, improving their stats and traits significantly.
Final Thoughts
EA FC 24 is an excellent game, successfully continuing the legacy of FIFA with impressive improvements in gameplay, graphics, and new features. For fans, it feels like a natural evolution, making it a worthy successor.
