My Honest Review of EA FC 24 after Playing 250 Hours

My biggest problem with this game mode isn’t actually the game mode itself, it’s the gameplay. It doesn’t matter what tactical vision you have or what playstyles a player has…your midfielders don’t track back, you can’t tackle, the AI always catch up to you and the keeper animations are broken. Oh and every corner I concede results in a goal. Doesn’t matter how realistic you keep things off the pitch, on the pitch game mechanics will fuck you over inevitably.

The thing that I hate about career mode is the objectives. In one of my careers I picked arsenal and they want you to do the treble in the first season

One of the big things that piss me off for years is when you loan players out you can never tell how they're getting on with their stats unless they're loaned in the same league as you , otherwise they only get game time in the cups

On my career save, Martinelli was top goal scoring in January. Then Arsenal sold him in January to bayer leverkusen Europa league team. Makes no sense!

I played every version of FIFA from 08 to 15, and career mode was always the main reason why I'd buy the game. In 2015, I sold my Xbox 360 and moved to another country. There were so many things happening in my life... I simply didn't have time to play video games anymore. But honestly, I always missed the fun and joy of playing it. It was only in 2020, COVID times, that I decided to go back to the game and believe me, I played thousands of hours since then. I'd get frustrated with the gameplay but would end up buying the next version nonetheless. Not this time though. It's about time for me to give up. The fun man, it's just not there anymore. It's all about UT, and I can't help but think that if the football gaming market wasn't so monopolized by EA, we would actually have a very good game to play. Just look at other genres of video games and how they evolved regarding the realism aspects that every game-developing company aims for nowadays. EA can make good graphics, yes, but to me, the gameplay is poor, with players that feel like they're floating on the pitch. TBH I've had more fun playing e-football than FIFA 23. I mean, we're talking e-football guys!!! xD much love y'all

I'd like career mode to be more like a lite version FM but with playable matches, basically exactly how EA did it with FIFA Manager back in the day

250 hours is crazy. Go outside bro 😭😭😭😭

The biggest issue I have with career mode in Fifa is that it's always been far away from EA's main focus. Of course, everybody knows that Fifa's "main" gamemode has always been Ultimate Team (since it was first introduced). The worst thing is that career mode was legit better in Fifa 2013 and has just been going downhill ever since.

It's wild how much realism, and perhaps a rework of the youth academy could do to the game mode.

250 hours. 65k subscribers! Many videos helping people have fun with this game since it's release. I appreciate the dedication and I hope you had fun in those hours.

This is really high quality video m8! You're super objective with your veredict. I havent played it but I agree sometimes people complain a lot about bugs that arent too significant. Fifa is fifa, it's about what you'd expect every year really 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ great video, cheers!!

Been playing career mode on fc 24 and the only thing I dislike is the lack of walkouts for me on PC. I really enjoyed hearing the champions league music while they all stood in the line and now I can't get that anymore. Plus the music sometimes just doesn't play and just plays the wierd new intro music rather than CL music.

This is very helpful for those of us just picking up the game for free or super cheap . Games change so much after launch that a “up to date “ review are something I wish more games would do

250 hours is crazy that's ten and a half days already please go live

My biggest problem is that lower league teams make no to few signings every season they use the same players and lineups.

the biggest change that isnt revolutionaly (i think) is the ai manager actually putting their best players in squad (as u said real madrid is buying mbappe and haaland and still ancelotti is going to put joselu in striker) i think it kills whole game. teams that are actually huge and spend huge amounts of money (which i dont really mind cause inflation in fifa career mode was always craaaazy and doesnt really do that much maybe kills a bit realism) but i think thats the biggest problem of manager career

Being honest the problem with career mode is the gameplay, huge gap between world class and legendary/ultimate, ai is impossible to play against and will always score a stupid goal no matter how well you play, defending never works can magically have a gap appear just walk through tackles, goalkeepers are useless its nowhere near a fun experience. Don't mind being harder to play against but when game mechanics don't work then theres no point at all.

Made the Beneliga in CM this season. Put the Top 10 Dutch and top 8 Belgian teams into the top league in France and put the remaining dutch and belgian teams into the french 2nd division. I had to keep 4 french 2nd division teams, so picked the ones closest to the Belgian boarder. I then split the french teams equally across the Belgian and Dutch leagues, so that you still get the top french teams in the European competitions. This is working well so far, done a season and a half.

To be honest I have started playing PES 16 masterleague instead of FC 24. I just wanted something totally different from fifa 22 and 23

some of my best memories of career mode are playing in random leagues. chile, colombia, japan
