When is FC 24 coming out?
EA Sports FC 24, the highly anticipated football simulation video game, is set to release worldwide on September 29, 2023. The game will be available for PlayStation and Xbox consoles, PC, and the Nintendo Switch. Those who pre-order the Ultimate Edition can start playing up to 7 days earlier, depending on their chosen platform.
What new features will FC 24 have?
One of the biggest new features in FC 24 is the addition of women players and mixed teams to the game's popular Ultimate Team mode. Players will have the opportunity to add both male and female footballers to their teams, allowing for more diverse and customizable gameplay.
In addition to the inclusion of women players, FC 24 will introduce more licensed leagues and players. The game will feature the Spanish and German women's leagues (Liga F and Frauen Bundesliga), as well as South Korea's men's second division K League 2. FC 24 will also include the license of the Ballon d'Or, France Football's prestigious football award.
FC 24 promises various gameplay and visual improvements. The new HyperMotion V technology uses data from over 180 top-tier football matches to deliver smooth and realistic animations. Advanced artificial intelligence called Mimic AI recreates unique body movements, providing an authentic representation of real football stars, such as Erling Haaland.
The AcceleRATE 2.0 system in FC 24 divides players into seven archetypes based on their movement, resulting in more realistic animations of players accelerating on the pitch. Switch players will experience gameplay similar to their PS4 and Xbox counterparts, rather than the outdated Legacy Editions offered in the past.
Moreover, the Nintendo Switch version of FC 24 will feature a full Ultimate Team experience and the Volta Football mode, which were previously unavailable on the platform.
Will FC 24 have Ultimate Team?
Yes, EA Sports FC 24 will indeed include Ultimate Team, the series' most popular mode. In FC 24, Ultimate Team will no longer carry the FIFA name and will simply be known as Ultimate Time (UT). Players can assemble their dream teams by collecting digital cards of licensed footballers and legends.
The new Ultimate Team introduces a feature called Evolutions, allowing players to improve the skills of select players. The Traits system has been replaced by a new feature called PlayStyles, which gives footballers unique capabilities based on their real-life skills. This adds more depth and dimension to player ratings.
One significant change in FC 24's Ultimate Team is the inclusion of women footballers. Players will now have the option to add both men's and women's players to their teams in Ultimate Team, offering more diversity and expanded gameplay options.
Overall, FC 24 is shaping up to be an exciting installment in the football gaming world, with new features, improved gameplay, and a more inclusive experience for players of all genders.
