The soccer world is buzzing with the news that EA Sports FC 24, the well-loved football game that has found an audience on Switch devices, has released its most awaited fourth title update. Characterized by numerous patches and improvements, the update promises to inject a breath of fresh air into the game, making it smoother and more enjoyable for players around the world.
The previous editions of the football simulation were known for their bugs that often hindered performance and gameplay for players. However, the new update has been designed with player feedback in mind, addressing these various issues with unique solutions. In a surprising turn of events, the bug that created unnaturally sticky situations where the ball would stick to the player's calf has now been addressed, making the game's dynamics more realistic.
Additionally, the update includes changes to the curve on precision passes and penalty accuracy indicator errors amongst the other innate issues that have been flagged by the community.
The full patch notes were released on the EA Sports FC Tracker on Trello on the 26th of October 2023 and provides an in-depth look into what players can expect. The Ultimate Team mode saw the addition of the much awaited Evolutions Overhead Indicator that can be changed in the game settings.
The update also brings in new visual elements to enhance the footballing atmosphere, including graphical checks and corrections to avoid confusing the player and misleading visual cues. Moreover, a minor inconvenience where the Bronze Tifo could incorrectly display for some rivals was fixed.
In terms of gameplay, there have been several changes. First and foremost, the curve on the first time precision passes taken at extreme angles has been reduced. The potential accuracy of acrobatic shots has also been reduced slightly. Now, players crossing from a wing position will prefer to use the foot closest to the touchline. This change was not implemented for Trivela Crosses and High Crosses.
Career Mode saw numerous fixes and changes. Unnecessary press conference tutorials that used to run after the first conference in the manager's career have now been stopped. Additionally, scout reports for lower league clubs had an error where a high OVR top league player not interested in moving to a lower league, could be shown. This issue was also resolved with the latest update.
Clubs and VOLTA, two important areas of the game, also saw significant enhancements. Misplaced view in the StrongHER Stadium when playing as a goalkeeper has been rectified. An issue with PlayStyles that wasn’t intended to be equipped on a Virtual Pro having been equipped was addressed as well. Furthermore, Scoring in the last second of a Foot Golf Arcade game resulted in the next round’s timer not functioning as intended – this, along with an issue where squads could have become corrupted in 3v3 Rush matches in Kick Off, has been rectified.
The update, which is available for download, is certain to provide players with an optimized and de-bugged gaming experience. The community has received this update warmly, appreciating the developer's efforts in maintaining the quality of the game by diligently working on areas of improvement and enhancement. It is encouraging to see game developers taking player feedback seriously, taking the necessary steps to not only provide a de-bugged gaming environment, but also to improve the gameplay experience for users all around the globe.
