EA FC 24 has finally received its big update that we have all been waiting for, and indeed, it is rather substantial. Let’s see everything that changes.
EA FC 24 continues to receive great support from Electronic Arts. The game is refined over time, and feedback from the community is heard. As a result, many updates are deployed, like the one we are going to talk about today. This time, we are not dealing with a small patch, but with something massive. There are a lot of changes coming up, and we’re going to take a look at them now. You will quickly understand that this is no joke.
Check out the new major update for EA FC 24
This update will not just bring various and varied tweaks to the experience. It implements major adjustments in terms of play styles, while deploying some great new features. We are thinking in particular of the 86 additional star heads or the new technical gesture “ based on Vinícius Jr.’s capture in real matches “. The latter is called Idle Stepover, and you can test it without further delay. There is just one condition to respect, otherwise you will not be able to access it: you must use the Trickster Style.
Generally speaking, realism in EA FC 24 has been greatly improved with this update. To do this, EA has focused everything on new animations based on volumetric data. In short, using the capture of several real matches, the studio managed to shape additional animations, such as one for the clearance or another for the shot. Everything will then be more authentic, more natural, which will reinforce the immersion during your wild games.
