With the FIFA license gone, this is a new era for EA, but it still feels like business as usual – for better and for worse. New mechanics like Evolutions and Tactical Visions demonstrate that the series can evolve into something better, but the same old issues (like poor AI) remain present. The game remains leagues worse on the Nintendo Switch, and you should AVOID playing it on that platform.

The slickest, smoothest and most technologically advanced not-FIFA game ever made, that makes an encouragingly positive start to a new era of football video games.

The most playable FIFA – oops! – in years. This is an encouraging new start for the EA Sports FC franchise, with Ultimate Team innovations truly standing out, and PlayStyles adding a smart new wrinkle to the on-turf action.

Sports FC 24 is not the complete departure from FIFA that its name would suggest. Most of the fundamentals remain in place and the career modes have barely been updated. Then again, Ultimate Team is the series’ real money-spinner, coming with the addition of evolutions and mixed gender teams. Overall, the on-pitch gameplay is good, and you can see the extra animations enhancing the football sim, but it isn’t a massive evolution of EA’s flagship series.

Atomix	Jose Celorio	82 / 100	09-27-2023	It is noted that Electronic Arts decided to pause various improvements in FIFA 23, to have a greater repertoire in its new installment that is completely separated from the license of the world soccer body.	Read review
Attack of the Fanboy	Franklin Bellone Borges	4.5 / 5 stars	10-02-2023	EA Sports FC 24 can be considered the perfect start for the next chapter in EA’s franchise, as the game improves upon the foundations left by FIFA 23 while also adding a few game-changing and truly welcome features. Being on the pitch never felt better!	Read review
CGMagazine	David Walters	7.5 / 10	09-29-2023	A yearly sports title is hardly one to looks to when one thinks of gameplay updates and changes, but EA Sports FC 24 is proving to be the exception to the rule.	Read review
Checkpoint Gaming	David McNamara	8 / 10	10-01-2023	While it’s sporting a new look and name, EA Sports FC 24 is a familiar and altogether solid entry in the juggernaut that is EA’s annual soccer video game series. Picking up the controller for a quick session with mates feels as comfortable and natural as it ever has, with plenty of mechanical depth for hardcore football fanatics to obsess over. It’s a shame that the glitches present at release can be match-ending, and placing microtransactions front-and-centre in a full-priced retail game always feels icky, but the sheer variety and quality of game modes on offer make up for these shortcomings for the most part. EA Sports FC 24 is a true celebration of the world’s game, with plenty of content for longtime fans and newcomers alike.	Read review
COGconnected	Jaz Sagoo	84 / 100	09-22-2023	EA Sports FC 24 is a safe rebrand of the FIFA series. While it doesn’t stray too far from its predecessor, new additions improve the overall gameplay. Playstyles highlight skills and HyperMotionV helps to make each athlete feel distinct. All of these aspects merge to create one of the most authentic football games to date. Even though monetization plagues Ultimate Team and Career Mode is largely the same, FC 24 refines moments on the pitch to make each touch a thrill.	Read review
Daily Star	Tom Hutchison	5 / 5 stars	09-24-2023	Overall, a top-tier football game that is packed to the rafters with content and gameplay.	Read review
Dexerto	Nathan Warby	4 / 5 stars	09-22-2023	EA FC 24 emphatically puts any concerns to rest by delivering the most complete and satisfying depiction of the beautiful game seen to date. The gameplay that fans know and love has been tweaked and polished to make for a deeply enjoyable 90 minutes each time the whistle blows.	Read review
Eurogamer	Josh Wise	Not Recommended	09-27-2023	With the license gone this is the beginning of a new era, but it feels like business as usual	Read review
Everyeye.it	Gabriele Laurino	8 / 10	09-28-2023	EA Sports FC 24 is a football chapter halfway between revolution and tradition.	Read review
Gameblog	Tiny_Ellie	7 / 10	09-25-2023	EA Sports FC 24 has its fair share of additions. Major? No, not really. Useful? Yes, because they’re mainly there to reinforce what has already been achieved, whether criticized or not, making this license one of the most popular cultural and videogame products purchased every year. That’s the general feeling of EA Sports FC 24 thaht ensures its arrival and transition with efficiency.	Read review
GamePro	Jonathan Harsch	78 / 100	09-22-2023	EA Sports FC 24 still has the old FIFA mustiness on it. The series urgently needs innovations on and off the pitch.	Read review
Gamersky	Unknown	7.5 / 10	09-23-2023	EA Sports FC 24 takes a cautious approach and focuses on further improving realism. Female players will play a more prominent role in the Ultimate Team mode, bringing some changes to this popular content. Unfortunately, as a new game, it lacks significant innovation compared to FIFA 23.	Read review
GAMES.CH	Olaf Bleich	83 / 100	09-26-2023	A reboot looks different. Only on the pitch does “EA Sports FC 24” live up to the new name and shows that there is also a spark of innovation in the game. Thanks to the new animation technology and balancing adjustments, “EA Sports FC 24” is superior to its predecessor. The action on the pitch seems more unpredictable, dynamic and authentic. Although the duels and also the playing styles could use a little fine-tuning, this innovation is good for the game. In combination with the upgraded presentation, this creates an atmospheric football experience. On the other hand, however, there is stagnation in a large part of the game modes, crowned by an even increased pay-to-win focus in Ultimate Team. EA Sports must therefore once again lend a hand to some adjusting screws and expand its career options in particular for the future.	Read review

GamingBolt	Shubhankar Parijat	6 / 10	09-29-2023	The on-pitch gameplay in FC 24 remains as fun as ever, but its failure to make any real, meaningful changes is a real disappointment, especially because almost none of the few changes it does make come anywhere close to sticking the landing.	Read review
Geek Culture	Jake Su	8 / 10	09-23-2023	Despite the rebranding, EA Sports FC 24 is a familiar product for good and for worse. The technological improvements continue to push the experience of mimicking the Beautiful Game in the right direction; having more leagues is always great, and the additional support for the women’s game is commendable. There remains niggling issues, as well as the sense that things are reaching a plateau, but for players looking for their football fix, there really isn’t any worthy substitute out there right now, even if this newcomer feels more like a Europa League contender instead of a Champions League heavyweight.	Read review
Generación Xbox	Javier Bassols	7.8 / 10	09-24-2023	EA Sports FC 24 was presented as the perfect occasion for EA to hit the table. It is true that the separation of FIFA left a lot of uncertainty, but in the end it has been almost a mere formality. It has not even been noticed in the licenses, since the company still has practically all, including the men’s and women’s Champions League. Thus, the focus of this new saga has been able to focus on what matters, the gameplay.	Read review
God is a Geek	Adam Cook	9 / 10	10-03-2023	EA Sports FC 24 features technology that improves the game beyond what’s been seen before, making the beautiful game even more appealing.	Read review
Hardcore Gamer	Cory Wells	4.5 / 5 stars	09-22-2023	What EA has done with its relaunched soccer title is define the series going forward.	Read review
Hobby Consolas	David Rodriguez	83 / 100	09-22-2023	EA Sports FC 24 brings us a little closer to more realistic football. The novelties in immersion are the perfect wrapper for a gameplay that is essentially the same, but that registers more important novelties than we expected. We only regret that it continues to sin of continuity and the lack of novelties in FIFA game modes.	Read review
IGN	Andrew McMahon	7 / 10	10-04-2023	It might have a new name, but EA Sports FC 24 is just about the same, frustrating but beautiful game that FIFA’s been for many years.	Read review
IGN Italy	Giovanni Marrelli	8 / 10	09-29-2023	Good old FIFA, but bigger, better, smoother. It’s underwhelming that EA Sports didn’t go for a brand new experience for the debut of their “new IP”, but at the same time FC 24 is a good game. On the structure of FIFA 23, EA Sports builds a series of improvements that increase the variety of the experience and introduce a compelling sense of uncertainty in the gameplay action. Very nice note: the management career is one of the best single player modes in years in the series.	Read review
IGN Spain	Esteban Canle	7 / 10	09-22-2023	EA Sports FC 24 is a good football simulator and is a good start as the new FIFA brand. However, Electronic Arts needs to take a step forward in some of the aspects of the game and improve for future releases. A good game for football fans and for those who enjoyed FIFA 23.	Read review
LevelUp	Víctor Rosas	8 / 10	09-25-2023	Despite the criticisms and mistakes that the franchise has dragged in its period of greatest success but also of greater comfort, EA Sports FC 24 is a good football game that demonstrates the intention to grow and fulfill the fans of the most famous and passionate sport in the world. There is a lot of content that comes from previous editions and that is inevitable, but the new thing does come out and strangely fulfills the objective of making you feel inside a new football experience that does not deny its past. There are areas to attend to and improvements to consider, but overall, EA Sports FC 24 is a solid soccer proposition that won’t surprise you getting to the top right away.	Read review
Merlin’in Kazanı	Yusuf Canpolat	75 / 100	10-01-2023	EA FC 24 comes with a lot of fundamentally new things. But most of them are nothing but makeup.	Read review
Metro GameCentral	Steve Boxer	8 / 10	09-29-2023	The slickest, smoothest and most technologically advanced not-FIFA game ever made, that makes an encouragingly positive start to a new era of football video games.	Read review
Nintendo Life	Chris Scullion	8 / 10	09-28-2023	After years of lazy, half-hearted Legacy Editions, EA Sports has finally delivered a football game on the Switch that offers full feature parity with other consoles. A much-needed engine upgrade trades frame rate for fidelity, but Switch owners finally have a port they can be proud of, rather than feeling like an afterthought.	Read review
NintendoWorldReport	John Rairdin	8 / 10	09-28-2023	It still isn’t on the same level as other versions, but this is the narrowest the gap has been in more than a decade. If you’re looking for a way to play a great soccer game on a portable system with a few compromises, this will get the job done. Hopefully this is the start of EA Sports putting out more of their library on Nintendo platforms, because I’m heartened by how EA Sports FC turned out.	Read review
Operation Sports	Kevin Groves	Not Recommended	10-02-2023	It’s almost as if the only noticeable difference between FIFA 23 and EA Sports FC 24 is the actual name change. While everything away from the pitch mostly shines (apart from the aforementioned bugs), the action on the pitch does its best to remind us that EA is not serious about making a football simulation. Instead, EA just wants to monetize their cash cow. If there’s one thing we know, it’s that EA will patch this game to smithereens, but this year’s game is going to have the slider makers working overtime to squeeze something out of EA Sports FC 24.	Read review
Oyungezer Online	Oguz Erdogan	8 / 10	09-23-2023	EA Sports FC 24 has again taken advantage of being the only football game on the market. However, it’s important not to overlook the areas where the game thinks about the player. Who knows, maybe one day, if we are a good boy, EA might even come up with a player-friendly soccer game..	Read review
PC Gamer	Phil Iwaniuk	79 / 100	09-29-2023	No, really-they’ve actually changed things this year, and the football feels better.	Read review
PlayStation Universe	Tommy Holloway	7.5 / 10	09-27-2023	With a few notable changes, and some subtle differences there is thrilling football to be played in EA Sports FC 24. However, for what marks a new era in the legendary sporting franchise, there isn’t enough change, and a fair few of its past frustrations haunt what could have been the most exciting entry in years.	Read review
Press Start	Toby Berger	8 / 10	09-29-2023	EA Sports FC 24 doesn’t go out of its way to change too much, but it doesn’t need to – the additions to Ultimate Team, refined gameplay and nicer presentation packages make it a great football sim.	Read review
PSX Brasil	Thiago de Alencar Moura	85 / 100	09-22-2023	EA Sports FC 24 is a beautiful new look for a classic that has been evolving for decades and establishing itself as the leading sports simulator on the market. With even better gameplay, more intuitive menus and more agile modes that allow you to go to the field as quickly as possible, this is the definitive proof that regardless of the name change, what matters is that the quality remains the same.	Read review
Saudi Gamer	Unknown	7 / 10	09-26-2023	Most of the additions to this part aim to create a realistic experience, closer to simulation, taking free kicks has become more personalized, adding “style of play”, advanced defense, and introducing many new skills that are very useful, but this trend makes the game mainly aimed at the competitive category, and makes the experience of playing with friends without trying to master every detail an incomplete experience. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s an orientation, and I think this part is heading in the right way to create a beautiful experience for this kind of gameplay.	Read review
Screen Rant	Cody Gravelle	3 / 5 stars	09-30-2023	EA Sports FC 24 is a fine	Read review
SECTOR.sk	Matúš Štrba	8 / 10	09-25-2023	Thanks to great technological enhancements, you’ll enjoy the best virtual football experience in years. It’s just a shame that it’s all built on tweaks. Also, all the new technology is just there to improve what we already know. But we want new modes, new experiences. And that’s not here.	Read review
SpazioGames	Marino Puntorieri	7.8 / 10	09-28-2023	Despite the name change, EA Sports FC 24 comes with basically the same flaws of the last FIFA, but we really appreciated the slower pace for the gameplay and the increased variety now possible in Ultimate Team.	Read review
Sports Gamers Online	Curtis Russell	6 / 10	09-29-2023	EAFC 24 ushers in a new era of football for EA Sports. Unfortunately, the game still suffers from the same issues as its predecessor, but hopefully, these baby steps lead to great leaps for the series.	Read review
Telegraph	Dan Silver	4 / 5 stars	10-02-2023	The new EA Sports offering comes without the ‘Fifa’ branding, but it is all that different from what came before?	Read review
The Games Machine	Marco Ravetto	8.5 / 10	09-22-2023	EA SPORTS FC 24 is not a revolution in the football world, but an evolution of what we have seen in past FIFA seasons. A huge amount of game modes and an enjoyable gameplay, albeit with some minor flaws, are a good start for this “debut-non-debut”, which promises to keep virtual footballers busy for a long time, be they potential coaches, trading card hunters or street game enthusiasts…	Read review
The Outerhaven Productions	Jordan Andow	3.5 / 5 stars	09-26-2023	FC 24 is a familiar game that once again focuses on evolution over revolution. It makes some smart tweaks and additions to existing modes but they still feel mostly the same. The game looks and feels better than ever but when you aren’t in control the AI often lets you down.	Read review
TheSixthAxis	Aran Suddi	7 / 10	09-25-2023	Sports FC 24 is not the complete departure from FIFA that its name would suggest. Most of the fundamentals remain in place and the career modes have barely been updated. Then again, Ultimate Team is the series’ real money-spinner, coming with the addition of evolutions and mixed gender teams. Overall, the on-pitch gameplay is good, and you can see the extra animations enhancing the football sim, but it isn’t a massive evolution of EA’s flagship series.	Read review
Unboxholics	Κυριάκος Στεργιάδης	Recommended	09-29-2023	EA Sports FC 24 is not the sweeping change that most people would expect, and for me there shouldn’t be that expectation anyway. After all, a recipe that works more or less, why change it? However, because this year’s recipe in points does not work as it should, I expected it to be at least more polished at these points, especially because of the “new era” of the thing. That’s not to say it’s not the “FIFA” you loved with its incredibly realistic moments, adrenaline-pumping and those moments when you want to drop the controller and grab the blood pressure monitor. Despite all its faults, we all know that in 3-4 months we will be talking about a different FC 24 player, due to the feedback of the community.	Read review
VG247	James Billcliffe	Recommended	09-29-2023	EAFC 24 might go about achieving its goals in a slightly different way to the FIFA series, but it lands at the same end result. The same tempting sticker book collect-a-thon and absorbing gameplay carousel makes EAFC 24 a virtual footballing platform that demands your attention and is difficult to put down. Emulating the signature moves of your sporting heroes with box-office Playstyles is a highlight, but there will always be questions about whether the mechanic can stand up to the test of millions of players probing for overpowered exploits.	Read review
VGC	Jordan Middler	3 / 5 stars	09-25-2023	EA Sports FC 24 isn’t the huge departure that we’d hoped for. While Ultimate Team devotees will likely be happy, the rest of the game feels like an afterthought in the transition away from the FIFA license.	Read review
VideoGamer	Michael Wicherek	7 / 10	09-22-2023	The rating would be much higher if the game wasn’t being held back by the prevailing bugs. The sky is the limit for FC once EA iron out the creases.	Read review
Xbox Achievements	Richard Walker	70 / 100	09-29-2023	FIFA 24 in all but name, EA Sports FC 24 continues the series’ tradition of slick, authentic, iterative football, with more Ultimate Team, more Career mode, more Kick Off immediacy… more of the same.	Read review
Zoomg	Afshin Piroozi	7.5 / 10	10-02-2023	EA Sports FC 24 is mostly the same FIFA experience but with a new name. FC 24 has the same game modes from Career Mode to fan favorite Ultimate Team and the new features are minimal when it comes to content. Gameplay wise, EA Sports FC 24 has seen some new additions such as Playstyles and new animations which make the game more fun to play and realistic. FC 24 surely needs some balancing updates but specially for FIFA fans, it’s a game with potential.	Read review
