Description:
EA Sports FC 24 is the first installment in the series following the end of EA's partnership with FIFA, effectively serving as the spiritual successor to the FIFA video game series.
It was released worldwide on September 29, 2023.
Key New Features & Technology
The game introduced several major technological and gameplay changes:
-
HyperMotionV: This is the headline technology (available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) which uses volumetric data captured from over 180 top-tier real-world matches (including UEFA Champions League, Premier League, and La Liga) to generate a massive number of realistic, authentic player animations. This is a significant leap from previous motion-capture methods.
-
PlayStyles & PlayStyles+: This feature overhauls the previous "Traits" system. It is powered by real-world data from Opta and grants elite players signature abilities that go beyond their base stats.
-
PlayStyles grant a boost to a specific action (e.g., a defender with the "Block" PlayStyle).
-
PlayStyles+ grant a super-charged, signature version of the ability to world-class players (e.g., Erling Haaland's "Power Shot" PlayStyle+).
-
-
Ultimate Team Evolutions: This allows players to upgrade the ratings, skills, and overall rating (OVR) of select player cards in their Ultimate Team by completing a set of in-game objectives.
-
Women's Football in Ultimate Team: Female footballers were integrated into the Ultimate Team mode for the first time, allowing players to build mixed-gender squads.
