EA Sports FC 24, the recently rebranded football simulation game franchise, has been fully unveiled and is set to be released on September 29. This aligns with the leaks from last week, which indicated that the game would be available in early access on September 22 for those who pre-order the Ultimate Edition. Surprise cover star Erling Haaland, a footballer from Manchester City F.C., made an appearance at EA’s global event in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The presence of Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson added to the excitement, as he delivered a flawless monologue expressing his love for football without accidentally mentioning the word ‘FIFA.’
In essence, FC24 is similar to the FIFA games that players have been familiar with for years, but with a fresh new brand and a few innovative features exclusive to the franchise. EA Sports is continuing to expand the presence of women’s football in the game by introducing them to the Ultimate Team mode for the first time. The trailer suggests that the division won’t separate men’s and women’s FUT, allowing players to have both genders on the same team and pitch. In addition to bringing the National Women’s Soccer League to FIFA 23, EA Sports has added two new women’s leagues—Liga F and Frauen-Bundesliga, representing the main women’s leagues in Spain and Germany respectively.
EA Sports has secured agreements with various football leagues to ensure that FC24 remains true to the actual sport, featuring hundreds of stadiums, over 19,000 players, and more than 30 official leagues, including the Premier League, La Liga, and the UEFA Champions League. Following a financial dispute with the footballing body, EA Sports opted to drop the FIFA brand, which reportedly demanded a payment of $1 billion every four years. CEO Andrew Wilson claimed that the “four letters on the box” were the only value they received from the FIFA deal.
The game is built on an enhanced version of the Frostbite Engine, which provides smoother animations and redesigned player models. The introduction of HyperMotionV adds realism to the game by incorporating volumetric data from over 180 professional men’s and women’s football matches, resulting in lifelike movement. PlayStyles enhances player abilities by going beyond overall ratings, showcasing unique capabilities that make each player’s style of play more authentic. Furthermore, Ultimate Team Evolutions allow players to upgrade their skills and attributes throughout the season by completing individual objectives.

The Standard Edition includes a cover star loan player item, male and female ambassador loan items, Player Career Personality Points, and a 5-star coach for the manager mode. The Ultimate Edition offers all these bonuses, along with seven days of early access, 4,600 FIFA Points, a UCL Ultimate Team Hero, and a Team of the Week 1 player.
