EA FC 24 is almost here and the hype around this brand-new game is growing with every passing day.
EA is adding fuel to that fire, revealing a host of new features that are arriving in the game this year.
Ultimate Team has been the flagship mode for EA for some time and we cannot wait to see what's in store this year.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the start date, time and what to expect from this year's big reveal.
LATEST - Full Pitch Notes
- Ultimate Team Evolutions: Level up players in your Club with Ultimate Team™ Evolutions—a new feature within Ultimate Team™ that creates a progression path for players already in your Club. Develop your favourites into club legends by completing objectives that improve their individual skills, PlayStyles, overall ratings, and even how their Player Items look.
- Women’s Football in Ultimate Team: In EA SPORTS FC 24, ultimate means everyone. Ultimate Team™ unites both halves of The World’s Game, bringing men’s and women’s football together to play on the same pitch. This unlocks a new world of squad-building potential and connects to campaigns throughout the season that relate to real-world performances across women’s football.
- PlayStyles in Ultimate Team™: PlayStyles introduce a brand new dynamic to Ultimate Team™ that goes beyond overall ratings, allowing you to build your squad based on how good players are—and how they actually play on the pitch. PlayStyles+ takes that to the next level, giving players abilities on the pitch that few others have.
- New Player Item Design: EA SPORTS FC™ 24 introduces a new era for the iconic Ultimate Team™ Player Item, bringing into focus the footballers at the heart of the World’s Game and elevating all the key information you need to understand the player at a glance. Player Items will bring athletes to life in new ways with larger pictures and animated backgrounds, plus more accessible details like league crests, and PlayStyles+.
- Community Feedback: Community requests have become core features this year in Ultimate Team™—claim all Objectives rewards at one time, change player positions without the need for a consumable, build new squads with improved Chemistry for ICONs, navigate through Ultimate Team™ more seamlessly with an all-new quick switcher that helps you toggle quickly between features, discover new Objectives and content with ease, and get back on to the pitch with less friction.
