EA Sports FC 24, the newly rebranded soccer simulation game franchise, has been fully revealed with a release date of September 29. The date coincides with leaks from last week, which suggested that the game would debut in early access seven days earlier, on September 22. — available to those who pre-order the Ultimate Edition. Manchester City FC footballer Erling Haaland has been revealed as the cover star, making a surprise appearance at EA’s global event in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson was on hand, of course, and delivered a lengthy monologue about his love of football, while somehow managing not to make a mistake and accidentally drop the word ‘FIFA’. .
In a sense, FC24 is basically the same FIFA game you’ve known for years, but with new branding and a couple of extra features that are completely new to the franchise. First, EA Sports will continue to expand the presence of women’s soccer in the game, bringing them to Ultimate Team mode for the first time. Judging by the trailer, it looks like the division won’t be separated into men’s or women’s FUT, but will instead combine the two so you can have either gender on the same team and on the pitch. The studio previously brought the Women’s National Soccer League to FIFA 23 and it looks like the trend will carry over to this new version, thanks to the addition of two new women’s leagues: Liga F and Frauen-Bundesliga, Spain’s top women’s leagues. and Germany, respectively.
EA Sports has secured deals with various soccer leagues to keep FC24 true to the real game, bringing hundreds of stadiums, over 19,000 players, and over 30 official leagues, including the Premier League, La Liga, and UEFA Champions League. For the uninitiated, EA Sports has dropped the FIFA brand following a financial disagreement with the football body, which reportedly requested a payment of $1 billion (around Rs. 8,216 crore) every four years. Electronic Arts later withdrew from the agreement, with CEO Wilson stating that the value only what he got from the FIFA deal was the “four letters in the box.”
An improved version of the Frostbite Engine serves as the base of the game, which features smoother animations and redesigned player models. HyperMotionV serves to deliver in-game realism by capturing volumetric data from over 180 men’s and women’s professional soccer matches to provide realistic motion. Meanwhile, PlayStyles goes beyond overall player ratings to bring to life the on-field skills that are said to make players special. Each PlayStyle provides players with unique capabilities that you’ll see and feel that make the way they play more ‘authentic’. The company also introduced Ultimate Team Evolutions, allowing you to upgrade players throughout the season based on individual goals, granting stat boosts and additional abilities.
