EA Sports FC 24 for PC is a football simulation game, the successor to the FIFA games now that the partnership with that authorising body has come to an end. It is the first in the series, but spiritually the 31st game in the series. Despite the renaming, the company said in its statement that the rebranded franchise would retain its licenses of more than 19,000 players, over 700 teams, over 100 stadiums, and over 30 leagues – all based on real people and teams.

Anyone who played a FIFA game for any decent length of time knew that the menus were annoying. They were slow to load, awkward to navigate, and quite boring to look at. Under the umbrellas of the change to EA Sports, the games developers have used the switch as an opportunity to significantly overhaul the menus and they are now much improved: easier to use, almost intuitive, and logically laid out.

As well as access to the above-mentioned 30 different leagues, (which includes the Premier League, the Europa League and the Women’s Super League) EA has added two further women’s leagues – namely, the Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga and Liga F.
