During my first kick off for EA Sports FC 24, I was sending a text message. This process - essential when you’re cramming a quick Manchester City vs Paris St Germain match in when you should be looking at spreadsheets - isn’t the best way to play a game, but sometimes it’s what happens.
However, such is the depth of the game’s improvements to defensive AI over the last few years, PSG was unable to score against me, even when I was looking solely at my screen, my midfielder twiddling his thumbs while I failed to twiddle my sticks. I can write a lot about how the game nails the football, but EA has been making stellar football games since the 90s, and this isn’t really any different.
