An enhanced Frostbite Engine delivers The World\u2019s Game in lifelike detail, bringing a new level of immersion through redesigned player models, smoother animations and visibly unique characteristics that make each player special. Kits now move like real-world materials, reacting to a player\u2019s stride, shifting as they change direction, and flowing along with them as they play.\n\u201cOur mission is to bring fans even closer to the world\u2019s game, and EA Sports FC 24 truly is the best iteration yet,\u201d said Nick Wlodyka, SVP & GM of EA Sports FC. \u201cOver the last few decades, we\u2019ve witnessed not only a seismic shift in how our community embraces football, but also a major evolution of how they engage and connect with our interactive experiences. EA Sports FC 24 leverages new gameplay technologies to build the most realistic expression of the beautiful game we\u2019ve ever created.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\u201cCelebrating sport for all is what continues to drive and inspire us,\u201d said Andrea Hopelain, SVP of Brand, EA Sports. \u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re proud to announce the most inclusive and diverse iteration of the game so far. Whether it\u2019s playing with the biggest player pool we\u2019ve ever had in Ultimate Team or with new leagues like Liga F and the Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga, EA Sports is proud to champion the women\u2019s game virtually and physically.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the event, Manchester City and Norway striker, Erling Haaland, was unveiled as the EA Sports FC 24 cover star. After Haaland\u2019s historic treble-winning season with Manchester City, including the record number of goals scored in a Premier League season, he stood out as the clear choice to herald a new era in EA Sports\u2019s long history. EA Sports cover stars have always defined the peak of football talent \u2013 in real life and in-game \u2013 and Haaland\u2019s phenomenal attributes across finishing, positioning and physicality are no exception.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery footballer dreams of being the cover star. I am proud to play a major role in the launch of the new era of the world\u2019s leading football game in EA Sports FC,\u201d said Erling Haaland. \u201cThe first time I held the cover in my hands, my immediate reaction was to think, just imagine if I could show this to myself 10 years ago. I hope that this can also inspire the next generation to believe in themselves to achieve their dreams. It\u2019s an honour not only to be on this cover, but also the Ultimate Edition cover alongside my illustrious peers and legends of the world\u2019s game such as Johan Cruyff, Pel\u00e9, Zin\u00e9dine Zidane, Ronaldinho, Didier Drogba and many more.<\/p>\n
