EA SPORTS FC 24 Review - ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT 

People really just buy this game now to get the updated rosters and stats. If they updated the rosters and stats in the older versions there’d be far less incentive to buy the new one

There's so many simple improvements they could make to career mode. Id love to see a players career stats and achievements. As NBA 2k has had for years.

No one is shocked but the masses will still buy it...rinse and repeat

The only way EA will actually put some real effort into making this game truly amazing each year is if people stop buying it, including myself (I won’t buy it this year). There’s no reason for them to make any significant changes otherwise.

No one at EA sees that players move so weird?! The essential thing is totally wrong!!!

Idk if anyone else experiences this, but I can’t seem to understand how defensive AI works. In Fifa 17, defenders would be able to steal the ball or challenge just by being in proximity. Even when you weren’t controlling them. Now, players will stare at the ball that is half a foot away and not budge (very “realistic”). I’ve never been great at Fifa, but the learning curve is wicked steep with defending this year, and it feels like I gotta re learn it after 23.

It is unacceptable that there is no real competition in football games besides Pes who made good games but failed to keep up and now they make crap. Without real competition we won't get a good football game.

Played the 10hr Trial and resorted back to fifa 23. No doubt in my mind now EAFC25 will be exactly the same with updated teams etc…and cutscenes/new front cover

I'll probably end up buying it when it goes on sale for ~$20 around Christmas. I hate the way the series has gone but I still enjoy playing online coop seasons.

For anyone new to this: EA purposely leave career mode stale, (and other 1p modes), because they want everyone playing FUT as that’s where the money is for them. They don’t give a cr@p whether you enjoy 1p or not. If playing online I recommend seasons, since at least it’s a fair team selection.

5 seconds of looking at the player movement and you knew this was gonna be horrific

FIFA 17 was the last great football game, it’s gone down hill quick since then

I can’t believe they couldn’t even be bothered to re-colour the menus in career mode. That’s just next level laziness.

Did he say “the on-pitch gameplay is solid as it tends to be every year”? There are a dozen reasons why this game sells and is played - on-pitch gameplay is not one of them. If not for the licenses and game modes, no one will touch this game.

They thought changing the name wouldnt make it another copy of the last years game

Was playing this online, and my keeper became invisible. Couldnt see him, but you just saw the ball moving when he got hold of it. Bizarre

Game still has scripting. Women don’t belong in the Ultimate team. Seeing a female player muscle a strong male off the ball is stupid.

I just want a feature that a player can go rage whenever the referee makes an unhappy decision and going rage or accepting the decision peacefully affects the player's progression...like RPG element

People will still buy it because of updated team players.

Another disappointment? Is it actually disappointment if it's the expectation by now? lol Thanks for the review though guys, saw something in particular with commentary choice there that immediately makes it a hard pass for me anyway but it's good t o know I wont be missing anything

eFootball and UFL aren’t the best football games currently, but with time they will become the best with our support, since they actually listen to community and respect the beautiful game

Clubs drop in matches are not working properly, keep getting lost connection before a match or getting no opponents found even it says match found 😕

Im not a 10 year old so I don't play ultimate team. I hate how they take things away from career so they can add more to 10 year old monetisation mode.

We need a realistic football game not a movie game.

My question is since it's on sale right now is it worth buying if I have never bought one in the past? How many changes can somebody realistically expect from sports games each year?

The most pathetic complacency is the commentator script. It had been the same for the last 3-4 editions. God damn it

EA FC 24 is an ice skating game. Players move like they are on ice.. controlling a player is like catching a big fish out of the water..

This is my first Football game so anyone can tell me is there an option to listen pre match and post match analysis from presenters on Ea fc 24 like in live games ? If so then where ?

This is the exact same game as last year……….players suddenly become super slow, face/hand blocks (who jumps up and the blocks the ball with there face/hands running full speed looking at the defender. It defies physics and happens 30x a game online), ball has a mind of its own and it’s your turn to score you will and if it isn’t you won’t. Pre-determined outcomes. 11 years of horrible fifa. I downloaded efootball and they only have 25 teams total. What other soccer games are there cause I’m willing to try them out

What view was that at the beginning Liverpool? I play co op and don't see that much pitch

Honestly I'm rarely vexed but when are we going to call a spade a spade. I grew up lucky to have the joys of new PES and Fifa games each improving on the last each different. The genuine dedication of pes to create an actual sim for purists (the PC mods make it look real incredible, if only they had licenses sigh) and the genuine enjoyment of past fifa games and the licencing just making it ace. The money making scam monopoly that now exists churning out the same garbage broken game for hundreds of millions franchise knowing ppl will buy it and as a result no driver to actually develop and create a fixed realistic game no just slap a sticker here change a few menus and now next level get rid of the one cut scene that actually had to stay. Its sad that we have no purchasing choice here and the commercial machine rolls on like a fan buying a football shirt regardless of how crap it is. If it was a car it would be recalled over and over its that bad. Oh and now each year they are on BBC national radio as a feature marketing promoting the release(!) and sounding smug about how iconic the game is. Its really gone too far now. Thanks EA.

A 6 is very accurate. Well done, GamingBolt

I really don’t understand people purchasing sports games yearly. That’s an addiction... for nothing more than roster updates and somehow less simulation gameplay and less game modes. My friends and i stopped buying them after 2018, and the games have only gotten worse. Just look at the way players move in this video. So floaty, no physics or momentum. Just fast af at every direction.

Uhhmmmmmm.... is it me or do the graphics, movements and stuff worse than older games? 🤔

So what modern sports franchises don’t suck?

FIFA / FC, is a game for 12y old Americans who know nothing about football and who think that pace and stupid skill moves is everything. When PES died, football games died as well

have you even played the game? from an actual gameplay eprspective on the pitch it's completely different, more realistic I would say in terms of scenarios/events/actions on the pitch etc

is this game worth it for someone like me that hasn't played a fifa (ik it's not called fifa anymore) game since the nintendo ds days? been thinking about playing this game again and I just wanna do something similar to a mycareer mode in nba 2k. i don't really play online

I love defending on rollerblades and being switched to my striker when the ball is in my own box.

This wasnt the year to mess with the formula (from EA pov). They needed to reassure fans theyve not ruined the franchise after the name loss

What I hate about the past games is career modes has the most unrealistic transfers ever, for example I’ve seen Salah bought by Madrid or Pulisic bought by Barca . Has anyone played career mode yet?

Im willing to bet my life on this being £20 in 3 months time.

Why is no one mentioning that u can't download ps5 version on the standed edition? But is Says ps4/ps5 versions

Can you left stick dribble? Simple as that if not its a cpu defending sim to suit kids

So im a legendary difficult level player and have been playing since fifa 16 and i can say that the game series has gone downhill a lot. The most broken thing is division rivals. Like every time i play i play very well and get tons of changes but the gk saves every shot and when my opponent comes for 1 attack he scores. That has repeated to me every game and the end stats are usually like 15 to 5 shots and guess the scoreline you might think i gotta win the game like 5 1 but ooh noo i LOOSE by like 1 5 so yea that is my very healty gameplay situklation

Why did they take out pre match walkouts. Whyyy

if somebody can give me advice here--- what is wrong with the movement of players??? they are somehow stuck and i have mostly to pass the bal forward cause plasyer refuses to go forward or where i want.... i have pc version anybody can help me??

Bought the last one after it dropped in price. Not even bothering with this one

Since I didn't see you mentioning it, I'll just ask it here. In Manager Career Mode, do we still can't do a fully COM-controlled match simulation like PES's Master League? I like FIFA's player development setup, it's the one thing that's superior to PES's ML but it is kinda tiring to have me always play it by myself, and it's always either play the match by myself or skipping the match entirely on the previous FIFA games I've tried. Sometimes I just want to lay back and watch the COM vs COM AI play the match like how I do it on Master League. Honestly it's ridiculous if they still didn't add this feature. And about the Player Career Mode, do we still can't do something like requesting our agent or club to try a transfer deal to a specific club like how PES can do with their Become A Player Mode? Like let's say I played in a mid table EPL club, but then I want to try moving towards certain club on a different league, do we still can't do that and still have to rely on the random offers after asking the manager to put our player to be listed on the transfer list? Not to mention that if we're one of the important players, getting the approval to be listed is already ridiculously hard. in the last 3 FIFA games I've played (21 22 and 23), none of those games can do these.

Haven’t bought a fifa game since 2014 been looking to get back into it. Should I buy fc 24?

Why lineups and walkouts being removed in EA FC 24

The gameplay is god awful, your players feel clunky and slow meanwhile everyone on the other team has 99 pace, as you go for standing tackles your players completely miss the ball, defenders who you aren’t controlling just run out the way of attackers leaving them with an open net, goal keepers have the ability of Cal the dragon, World Class is to easy but Legendary is just way to hard/scripted, everytime you tackle someone the ball just goes straight back to them which I thought they said they where ‘fixing’ and on multiple occasions when the AI has had a penalty and I’ve chose the right way to dive the game delays the dive so I can’t get to the ball Could honestly go on 🤦‍♂️

Two things: you're blocked from scouting on some players, and players suddenly going backwards when you're all out attacking. Why?

Anyone who pays full price for any sports game needs to have their money taken away.

chat don't worry walkouts are in packs (i pissed myself i was that scared)

Did Ea Sports FC 24 add AlAhly from Egypt?

Honestly I would be more impressed with actually good commentary. What makes the game so boring is the fact that we have had the same commentary since the game released. They should take inspiration from 2k who updates commentary or adds new commentary each game

How a game become worst year by year? Tons of bugs, shitting graphic optimization, removing features like matchday intros etc. The world needs a good alternative for FIFA (FC).

Want to add... The horrific lighting option for a sunny day. While broadcast cameras expose to darkest part of the pitch, blowing out the crowd if necessary... this game just swamps it in darkness. It's horrific.

I'll probably buy it once it gets a bit cheaper becasue I've not bought one since '21 so I don't feel too ripped off as I'll be getting a much better game than '21 I hope. Annoying thing is, I literally buy it for one thing, playing games against my friends online so I'm not interesting in UT (the whole thing is just not my vibe) and Career mode (could be good but much like the management mode, it's too basic and repetitive). So all I really want is good graphics, realistic gameplay and a decent editor as me and my mates make our own teams with custom players based on celebrities or people we went to school with for example. So a good editor would be nice, like a boot creator and nice kit editor. Sad thing is these were features on PES like 12 years ago but I don't think the average player cares about this and it's not a profitable area of the game so this will never be added. I find having a good editor helps the longevity of the game but again, they don't want this, they want you desparate for the next game each year. It may sound sad but not being able to edit kits really ruins the realism of the management and career mode for me - I can't be the only one who is that petty or to put it nicely 'creative'. Anyway, I'll buy it, I'll get hours and hours of time playing with my mates online and we'll have a good laugh so it'll be worth the money but it's such a shame that making money is the main aim each year rather than making the game cooler and more open ended like the old PES game. Even something similar to the Master League, like a career/management mode with some imagination would probably push me into playing one player alone a whole lot more.

Sounds like the "improvements" are more annoying that anything else.

They’ve had the same goal celebration going for 3-4 years

What happened to all the missing international teams? Like Brazil, Greece, Turkey Etc.

needs to have team walk outs reinstated..and quickly

I'm more disappointed on the switching, a player I don't really want to be switched to is the one I get even with the second player switch icon on😒😒. You absolutely right, not overreacting!

Whispers *efootball…it’s far from perfect but it so much fun to play. Feels natural as hell and it runs on unreal engine. Feels like your playing football.

And remember, buy the same game every year

Fifa still has zero Voice Acting in Career mode… that’s insane

like what do you expect from a game that is release every year ? and there is always something its too realistic its not realistic enough player are to slow are they are too fast ,we dont want any story mode we are here to play football like what do you people want ?

wait .. are they using the exact same ref/ red / yellow card animations as last year ... it triggered me every time a ref made a call and it was the exact same animations every time .. i actually cant believe that if its true ..

Essentially, youre paying 100 quid for an annual kit update...

First time I haven't bought it on release, sick of the same dodgy dribbling, fast paced arcade game that has lost its identity, all they care about it FUT, career mode is dead and so is my interest in this game, RIP fifa we has some memories.

It's amazing that PES 2021 is still better than Fifa 24.

Literally played a few hours and already requested requested a refund game is horrible to play

I actually think It’s worse than I thought played it for 2 full days now the game play is terrible compared to 23 and I play on ultimate if anything it’s got more unrealistic

The matchmaking never has balance. I always play people that are better than me. The game really needs to be improved or I will never by this title again.

Why am I not surprised?😅

They can stop making games every year, thats the reason the cant make any serious and real improvements they dont have enough time, all they have to do is make the previous game update each year and they can take atleast 3 years to make a new and improved one

Needs another new patch asap too iron out the already there bugs the first update didn't fix really

Gameplay is full of bugs. What changes they have made make the game worse. Some features don't work properly (clubs). Poor game, definitely not worth your hard earned money. Just a poor version of Fifa 23. And don't get me started on the headache of manager mode, the only thing they didn't need to change they went and changed 🙄

EA make horrific games

idk im pretty content but i was hoping they added something like a story for career mode to make it more interesting

WHAT, makes you think they would make any significant changes if they can’t even change the little details in the game. HECK, they still use Antoine Griezmann’s hair from 2 years ago!!

Disappointment is an understatement, the game is absolutely broken!!!!!!

When he mentioned the UI is completely overhauled, yet it looks exactly the same. Those same old boring squares similar to the xbox UI. So glad i waited for reviews on this game. Looks boring as fuck. 20 quid game tops.

Yet next year it will still be the same copy and paste hypermotion 9.0

the most disappointing is that it is full of bugs and not only in gameplay, but in menus and performance

Does it still have scripting?

its like EA decided to take the codes from fifa15 and add a little graphics to it....the keeper seems to be playing in a different dimension and the gameplay is just too glitchy...i was angry i broke the game into two...im back to fifa23 and im happy

Just tried Fifa 23 again, it has taken years but I actually just don't want this "improvement" anymore. And the entry to get all the licenses for another studio to develop a simulator has to be insane. Ugh!

Game is 100% not responsive. The animations ruin the game

They skating even more in this one.

6 is being generous. Same old sh*t

Would this be worth upgrading from fifa 18?

Same game every year. They make billions yet still do nothing

I play offline with my friends most of the time, and personally this game currently is absolutely terrible. Reactions feel slow and laggy, defending is an absolute nightmare regardless of what players you have in your defence. Haaland EXTREMELY over powered. User interface is absolute terrible feels like I’m playing PES. Can’t change controller settings anymore to manually change players during game play and choose what you’d like assisted or not assisted during gameplay. The games feel extremely scripted, it’s the worst experience. I really hope with the update

Nothing really changed... wtf 🤦‍♂️ devs really fuckd up on this one

What?!?!?! They REMOVED walk outs? Wtf?

Im struggling to see how all these people have an opinion before playing the game? Or have you bought it and you are unhappy? Or are you basing your views purely off this review? I dont have the game but reading multiple reviews across the board would suggest its a 7.5 out of 10.

Pes Efootball is the ANSWER
