EA FC 24's latest update boosts player looks on old consoles

EA Sports FC 24's eighth title update enhances the aesthetic experience for last-gen console players by updating player appearances, kits, boots, and badges. The update, currently available on PS4 and Xbox One, focuses on improving graphics with updated "star heads" to fix visual glitches. While specific updates to gameplay and Ultimate Team features are included, like tweaks to chip shots and fixes for visual glitches during pack openings, the highlight appears to be the makeover of certain players' faces, potentially including FC Andorra's Sergi Samper and FC Augsburg's Mads Pedersen. This update is promised to reach other platforms such as current-gen consoles and PC soon, ensuring every player will enjoy the refreshed game elements. For players diving back into Ultimate Team, seeking to utilize the newly arrived Team of the Year cards, various guides are available to enhance their squad-building strategies.

The exact release date has not been provided, but EA has stated that the update will be released on current-gen consoles and PC "in the near future".

EA Sports FC, formerly known as FIFA before EA and FIFA parted ways, has been a cornerstone in the sports simulation market, especially with its Ultimate Team mode that combines collecting players with online competition. The series has often been praised for its realistic gameplay, extensive licensing of teams and leagues, and deep career modes. With each annual release, EA Sports aims to refine the experience with graphical improvements, gameplay tweaks, and new features to keep the franchise fresh for returning fans and appealing for newcomers.
