FIFA is a large series of football simulators that amazed the gaming industry back in the 90s, offering the concept of playing with a whole team, opposition and iconic European tournaments.
Gradually, the project continued to develop and received development of graphics, updating of playing rosters according to their current contracts in top clubs, strengthening of the physics of the ball, players and fans, and simply dynamics close to real football matches.
This continued until 2023, when a new version, which was supposed to be called FIFA 24, is released under the name FC 24 due to the lack of new agreements with the organization of the same name.
Along with the new name, the project received a number of graphical, physical and most importantly gameplay changes to the online mode, career and professional player mode. Now there is a new name for the coins that are used to purchase and upgrade players of their main roster and are called FC 24 coins.
Online mode
The FIFA Ultimate Team format has largely remained unchanged - it is a full-fledged online league with its own rules and leagues for distributing players according to their level of play.
To begin with, you need to choose your favorite club, but it’s worth saying right away that from the current players who have valid contracts, you will receive a random set of players who will form your first playing squad.
You will get all your football players from sets of varying value, from bronze to gold.
Each player is presented in the form of a special card, which will contain all the characteristics and main features of the football player. The card can be obtained from a set or purchased in the transfer window by paying the amount of FC 24 coins that other players put up.
Starting from FC 24, all the parameters that are listed on the card, such as speed, accuracy and others, can be upgraded simply by completing game tasks that are updated every week.
It's up to you to decide whether to accumulate points until really worthwhile cards appear, or to constantly strengthen your players little by little and constantly update them.
You will play league matches against the same players, and the first of them will determine your gaming level by selecting opponents from different divisions.
Each match, regardless of its outcome, will bring you a different number of FC 24 coins. For a win more, for a loss less, a draw is also rewarded.
Depending on the number of victories and defeats, the system will gradually increase or decrease your rating and transfer you to another league, and if the statistics are 50 to 50, then you will be in the same league until your indicators shift to one side.
League matches are also qualifying stages for EA Sports tournaments like the Weekend League - which is a great opportunity to get new gold level player cards.
To get to the tournament itself, you need to go through selection and qualification.
The selection is simple - it allows all active players who play a lot of matches to participate in the qualification, regardless of its outcome. You need to reach 1500 points to qualify for the qualifying stage, where you can get at least one set of random gold player cards - this is the first goal of many players, especially newbies.
Points are awarded for each result, even for a victory, even for a draw, even for a defeat, but naturally it is better to win in order to quickly get to a known number of points. If you are a beginner and just learning the game concepts and often losing matches, then you still have a chance to make it to the Champions stage, but you need to play a lot more matches during the week.
The qualifying stage will consist of 10 matches against random opponents, in which you need to win at least 4 to qualify for the main tournament stage. The more matches you win, the more sets of golden player cards you will receive, and even if you don't make it to the next stage of the tournament, you will still receive a reward for your efforts.
If you advance to the next stage, then 20 matches await you, where for each victory you will advance along the path of rewards and receive cheap FC 24 coins and sets with random football players, which may contain random positions and levels of players, but taking into account that, that now cards can be improved, you can always sell them and earn FIFA 24 coins.
Career mode
If you want to practice well before going into competitions against other players and understand the principles of controlling all football players, feint skills, the system of taking free kicks and throw-ins and corners, then you can go to career mode.
By the way, if you haven’t followed real football for a long time, then playing in career mode will help you understand the degree of quality of football players and roughly determine the key players that you will try to get into your game lineup.
The only downside to the training ground career mode is the level of play of other players, which will often be noticeably higher compared to the artificial intelligence that controls the opposing team.
There are two reasons why you should go to career mode:
- You want to understand all the game basics and go into the online league more or less prepared.
- You want to lead your favorite club to victory in the division and popular football tournaments.
Pro Player Mode
This is a separate format for all fans of football and realism in building a career as a football player.
You must choose your role, create an avatar, choose your last name and your club and start your football career in the reserve team in order to break into the main team and stop being a substitute player and start getting into your country's national team.
The coach will set goals for you for the match and, depending on the quality of its implementation, you will receive more confidence, or vice versa, reduce the amount of playing time, or even be sold on loan to another club.
