Image: EA EA Sports FC 24 - or FC24, for short - is a huge release for Electronic Arts, launching today on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Switch. But you wouldn't necessarily know its importance from playing the new game. FC24 is the first title since the publisher's split from FIFA, the sport's global governing body, a chance for EA to break out on its own with one of the most popular franchises in gaming. But the game also feels like well, FIFA. Instead of a whole new franchise, it plays a lot like the one that came before it, with the kinds of updates and additions that are typical of an annualized sports game. It's not a jarring change if you've spent a lot of time with FIFA 23.
This is not to say that FC24 is a bad game. I've mostly been enjoying...
