“Will there be a FIFA 24?” is the day's question, and we have one bad and one good news for you. Let’s start with the bad one: No, there will be no FIFA 24 and beyond. Wait, does this mean our beloved football game since 1994 is gone? This question takes us to the good news.

Will there be a FIFA 24? Here are the good news

Meet EA FC 24, which is the rebranded version of FIFA. The name change from FIFA 24 to FC 24 stems from EA's decision to discontinue its collaboration with FIFA, marking the end of a three-decade-long partnership.

Reports suggest that FIFA proposed a substantial annual fee, which EA deemed too steep to continue using the FIFA license. Consequently, the renowned football gaming series has significantly rebranded, embracing a new identity and direction.

Has everything changed?

EA Sports FC 24 represents a significant departure from the FIFA franchise, not just in name but in gameplay, modes, and overall experience compared to FIFA 23.

Gameplay

FC 24 introduces a groundbreaking motion capture system called HyperMotionV. It captures real-world player movements during live matches using advanced camera setups. This results in over 20 unique running animations for each outfield player, significantly enhancing the authenticity of player movements and on-pitch action.

A new addition, PlayStyles, grants players distinct abilities mirroring their real-life strengths. These abilities, totaling 34 in number, range from Slide Tackle for defenders to Finesse Shot and Trickster for attacking prowess. An elite tier, PlayStyle+, unlocks further specialized abilities for the game's top players.

While still running on the Frostbite engine, FC 24 boasts a revamped version. It offers visual enhancements such as shinier and more dynamically flowing shirt fabrics, promising a more immersive gaming experience.

Ultimate Team

FC 24 introduces Evolution, allowing players to upgrade their favorite players' ratings by completing specific objectives and enhancing their stats and overall ratings.

A major shake-up in Ultimate Team is the inclusion of women players like Sam Kerr and Marta Vieira da Silva, enabling diverse squad compositions and blending genders seamlessly within the mode.

Career Mode

Managers can now enlist coaches to impart specific playstyles to their squads, affecting player stats and development rates.

Training Plans, Pre-Match Reports, and Match-Ready Training offer deeper tactical preparation and skill enhancement options, adding strategic layers to the Career Mode experience.

EA FC 24 introduces Player Agents (Player career mode) to facilitate dream transfers by setting objectives that influence potential transfers and career trajectory.

Clubs Mode

FC 24 introduces generation-specific crossplay compatibility, allowing players across different platforms (e.g., PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS5, and Xbox Series X) to play together.

The Clubs mode features a restructured league system with three phases: league, promotion, and end-of-season playoffs. Persistent rewards and skill ratings ensure an ongoing leaderboard, fostering continual engagement.

FC Pro 24

FC Pro 24 simplifies the esports tournament structure with a clearer narrative, allowing players to track their progress easily from qualifiers to national championships and grand finals.

These differences collectively redefine the gaming experience in FC 24, offering enhanced realism, diverse gameplay features, deeper modes, and a more inclusive and engaging platform for both casual and competitive gamers alike. However, the main purpose is always the same, keep winning matches!
 

FAQs

Why is FC 24 not called FIFA?

After many years of partnership, EA and FIFA ended their licensing agreement. EA retained rights to teams, players, and leagues, but lost the rights to use the “FIFA” name in its video game. So the series was rebranded as EA Sports FC, while keeping almost all the game content apart from the FIFA name.

When did EA Sports FC 24 come out?

EA FC 24 was released on 29 September 2023 on platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

How does EA FC 24 compare to FIFA 23?

While many core gameplay elements carry over, FC 24 brings several upgrades over FIFA 23:

  • A new animation system (HyperMotion V) gives more realistic movement, especially in match flow.
  • Faster player differentiation via improved lighting, visual polish, and updated presentation.
  • Expanded game mode features, such as allowing men’s and women’s players in the same team in Ultimate Team, and adding the Evolutions mechanic to improve player cards.
  • Enhanced licensing continuity (clubs, leagues) despite the name change.

In short: FC 24 isn’t a total overhaul over FIFA 23, but it refines and builds upon it with new tech, better visuals, and deeper modes.
