EA Sports FC 24 is the new starting point for the long-running franchise of Electronic Arts in football after saying goodbye to the saga ‘FIFA‘ after a financial agreement was not reached with the highest sports organization.

According to data collected by Metacriticspecialized reviews put it as a good successor to EA Sports FC 24, however, the ‘king of sport’ video game is facing the already well-known review bombing with a very low user rating.

Regarding sales in territories, Chris Dringdirector of GamesIndustry.biz, revealed that the video game did its part by beating Warner Bros’ Hogwarts Legacy, but was left wanting to dethrone The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

When comparing it with the sales of FIFA 23, Dring reveals that EA Sports FC 24 presented a 30% decrease compared to the last installment of the now defunct football saga. Although it is mentioned that Electronic Arts would have expected some impact due to the brand change.

Despite this, the game is the second biggest launch so far this year in the UK, a place where FIFA has always been king when it comes to football titles, completely ignoring Pro Evolution Soccer – now known as eFootball – .

EA Sports FC 24 presents some interesting changes such as the inclusion of female footballers in the well-known ‘Ultimate Team’, being able to play with mixed teams.

The most notable change to this year’s game is the inclusion of women in Ultimate Team mode, allowing for mixed teams.

Major women’s leagues from England, France, Germany, Spain and the United States have been added to the mode. Male and female players can play on the same team, and if they are part of the same affiliated team (such as Chelsea FC and Chelsea Women), they receive an additional chemistry bond.
