EA FC 24 is the follow-up game to the FIFA series and brings several changes compared to FIFA 23. We show you what different features there are between EA FC 24 and FIFA 23.
EA FC 24 was officially unveiled last week. Pre-orders for the most expensive FIFA game of all time are underway. But what awaits you in the successor to FIFA 23?

Even though not all new features are known yet, we can already say that there will be some exciting innovations. These include the inclusion of women in FUT, crossplay for Pro Clubs, a revised sprint system, and new skill moves.
EA FC 24 Compared To FIFA 23: What's New
The community was quite surprised (in a negative sense) when it was announced that EA FC 24 would be the most expensive football simulation of all time. The Ultimate Edition alone costs €109.99, while the Standard Edition is priced at €79.99 for consoles.
Thus, EA FC 24 is about €10 more expensive than FIFA 23, which is a significant difference.
There are also other pre-order bonuses. In the previous installment, during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, there were World Cup Heroes available, but for EA FC 24, they have been replaced by UCL Heroes.
The release date remains in the traditional timeframe, with EA FC 24 set to be released in late September. As for Early Access, Web and Companion App, there have been no changes.
EA FC 24: All Differences Compared To FIFA 23
The first major difference can be found in the gameplay, as EA FC 24 utilizes Hypermotion V, a technology that features new movements and animations. Erling Haaland's goal against Borussia Dortmund in the EA FC 24 trailer serves as an example.

In the trailer, you can also see five new skill moves that have been specifically developed for EA FC 24. You can check them out in more detail in a separate video article.
Youssoufa Moukoko's skill move from the trailer, which we'll simply call the advanced Drag Bag, looks really powerful and could devastate many defenders in-game. The same goes for the advanced Elastico presented by Vini Jr.
EA FC 24: New Crossplay Feature
Crossplay was introduced from the start in FIFA 23 and has been quite a success, as can be summarized after ten months of gameplay. It simply expands the game's range.
Speaking of range, Pro Clubs – *cough*, sorry, CLUBS – will also be equipped with crossplay in EA FC 24. Now you can play with or against your friends across platforms, which is something we're particularly excited about. We've provided more detailed information on how it works in the previously linked article.
EA FC 24: Women In Ultimate Team
Perhaps the most significant change compared to FIFA 23 and all previous versions is that you can now play Ultimate Team with both men and women. There will also be female Heroes and Icons.
By now, some details about certain players have also been revealed, such as Sophia Smith being the fastest player with 95 Pace and having a 5-star Weak Foot:

Since most women in the new EA FC 24 leagues play for the same clubs as their male counterparts, they can be linked through this method. However, the final details regarding the Chemistry system have not yet been released.
It is certain, though, that the ratings of the top female players will be as good as the ratings of the top male players. Therefore, women could receive powerful meta cards in Ultimate Team.
New Evolution System In EA FC 24 Ultimate Team
In EA FC 24 UT, you will be able to improve your cards in the club without having to buy a special card from the market. For example, if you have a Silver Moukoko in your club and enjoy playing with him, you can improve his rating, skills, and attributes via Objectives. This has never been seen before in UT!
However, it remains to be seen how extensive these upgrades will be. If we take a look at the bottomless requirements of the current Level Up promo, we can see that EA often throws a wrench into the works for its loyal players.
It's probably already July 2024 and the card is unplayable by the time Moukoko reaches an 85 OVR as shown in the trailer. But let's wait and see.
Expanded AcceleRATE Types In EA FC 24
Do you remember the crazy Lenghty meta in FIFA 23? Well, it could get even crazier in EA FC 24! The following AcceleRATE types will be available in EA FC 24:
- Lengthy
- Most Lengthy
- Controlled Lengthy
- Controlled
- Controlled Explosive
- Mostly Explosive
- Explosive
EA FC will have 7 Accelerate types Lengthy Mostly Lengthy Controlled Lengthy Controlled Controlled Explosive Mostly Explosive Explosive This will be NEXT GEN ONLY pic.twitter.com/KxZdfM1gFq

We can't say exactly what each of these different designations does yet. We assume that, for example, Erling Haaland will be "Most Lengthy" because of his distinctive running style. Harry Kane, on the other hand, would be something like "Controlled Lengthy" because he doesn't have the same long legs as Haaland.
New Leagues In EA FC 24
Compared to its predecessor, EA FC 24 has stepped up and acquired licenses for additional leagues, especially in women's football. You can look forward to La Liga F and the Women's Bundesliga. For more information on new leagues in EA FC 24, check out the following article:
