Major details have been revealed for EA FC 24, EA’s brand-new football game that looks set to change the landscape of sports gaming.

With major reveals come first looks and previews for the game, with gameplay elements being showcased.

A host of news outlets have also released previews of the game, offering their insight into how new gameplay additions have changed the overall feel.

Whilst the presentation of the bells and whistles has been promising thus far, we fear that EA is once again overlooking the main issue.

EA FC 24 early disappointments

It’s important to preface this article by saying that we have not yet been exposed to all of the new features in EA FC 24.

Right now, we’ve seen the headline features and new gameplay additions, with more reveals and deep dives coming over the next few weeks.

However, with previews out and our first look at the menus now available, we can’t help but feel a little tentative.

We don’t want to stunt the hype train, only offer an alternate view in the hope that EA proves us to be desperately wrong.

Promising signs

In terms of graphics, EA FC 24 looks truly stunning.

The new Frostbite engine and Sapien tech have truly taken the visual representation of football gaming to a whole new stratosphere.

The new HyperMotion V tech has also changed the game, with Volumetric data allowing each player to look, and feel, unique from another.

That last point is also key when it comes to female players being added to Ultimate Team, with new additions needing to feel as though they offer something not yet seen before.

In so many ways, EA Sports FC 24 is a brand-new era that EA should be treating as such but providing the same, or similar, menus and aesthetic will only serve to disappoint a player base that was hoping for something fresh.

Whilst there is only so much you can do with the overall interface of a game, we can’t help but feel that EA missed a trick when it comes to offering a much-needed facelift.

The other concern comes from a gameplay standpoint, with some previews suggesting that the new mechanics offer little in the way of overall improvement.

For example, Gfinity’s preview offers the following:

The improvements away from the pitch are exciting, without being game changing. EA Sports are treating FC 24 like a new series beginning, but it’s exactly the level of change I’d have expected from FIFA 24.

This is a concerning read, especially when EA FC 24 was billed as the start of a new era.

As we’ve stated above, we hope our doubts and scepticism are proven to be incorrect, but there is a fear that EA could once again be spreading themselves too thin in an endeavour to revolutionise the football gaming sphere.
