For some time now, we’ve learned that FIFA has called it quits on its long-standing partnership with Electronic Arts, though the exact reasons remain under wraps. This likely signals FIFA’s quest for something new and exciting! In the meantime, as we eagerly await news of who will take over and create the next “true FIFA,” Electronic Arts is doing everything they can to keep their players happy and engaged. A few months ago, EA started sharing some really cool details on social media about their upcoming game, “EA Sports FC.” They revealed that it would feature an impressive roster of more than 19,000 licensed players across 700 teams and 30 leagues, plus support from over 300 global partners, including a strong focus on women’s and amateur football. Now, the hype is really building with the release of their first official trailer and the announcement of the game’s cover star! Despite all this excitement, Electronic Arts probably didn’t expect the wave of negativity that followed.
Indeed, internet users have been buzzing with criticism about the game’s graphics, especially the player models on the cover, over the past few hours. The feedback has ranged widely, bordering on ridicule on Twitter as each detail is scrutinized under a microscope. To be honest, the visual impact leaves much to be desired. EA’s ambitious goal of showcasing top-tier players from around the world alongside their persistent attempt to keep everyone smiling—even with awkward facial expressions—has inadvertently created quite a spectacle. It’s hard not to chuckle at the uncanny valley effect, reminiscent of something straight out of The Sims or GTA but with a twist. Twitter users are having a field day pointing out these quirks and flaws, turning what could have been a straightforward release into an endless source of amusement during this typically slow summer news cycle.
Mark your calendars because EA Sports FC 24 is set to drop on September 24 across PC, PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, and Xbox One! And get ready for an exciting livestream on July 13 at 18:30. This event will be packed with surprises as leaders and special guests take the stage for a thrilling keynote presentation. Don’t miss out on all the fun and insights to come!
