If you have been keeping up with EA Sports FC 24, then you may have heard the cover of the title was officially released after a major leak, less than a week ago. The source of the information came from naaz0412, a user on the subreddit, r/GamingLeaksandRumours. The leak said Erling Haaland would be on the cover of the EA Sports FC 24 standard game, and that the ultimate edition would feature 30 male and female, professional football stars. It appears EA felt the pressure from this breach of information, which led the company to give the public access to the ultimate edition cover.

Those who purchase EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition will get to enjoy a cover full of 31 famous football stars, including David Beckham, Leah Williamson, Sam Kerr, Trinity Rodman, and more. The cover is meant to represent a history of football, and where football will be in the future. It is clear from this homage to the sport that EA is pulling out all the stops to make EA Sports FC 24 a success. This will be the first time EA Sports has developed a football game without FIFA, in 30 years. A recent licensing disagreement between the two companies led to a split and they will now be competing against each other for top spot in the video game market.
EA Sports FC 24 is Doing Everything to Win Fans, But It Appears the Developer Has Become a Joke to Many
There is no doubt with the EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition cover, the developer wants its game to be popular. FIFA 23 is the last time the FIFA brand will be used in association with EA and now a new era is set to begin. This upcoming title will see exclusive, licensed leagues, such as the English Premier League, La Liga, the Russian Premier League, American Major League Soccer, and many more. EA is ready to prove they can compete in the football arena without the help of FIFA, however, despite the company’s effort, there are many outspoken gamers making a joke of the game.
Those who are already criticizing EA Sports FC 24, are saying the title is way too long and overly complicated. As FIFA rolls off the tongue, EA Sports FC 24 feels like an over-complicated mess. Some gamers are not even sure how to abbreviate the title, some using FC 24 or EA FC 24. Perhaps the FC brand will become the next 2K, but until then, EA is experiencing some growing pains amongst fans.
Gamers have also been mocking the cover of the ultimate addition, asking where previous FIFA cover stars are located in the digital photo. There is a clear resentment over the fact that FIFA and EA are no longer working together. Some even acknowledging that Messi and Ronaldo have not been included in the plethora of football superstars. It is clear those who are most disappointed are the ones who know the future likely involves having to purchase two games just to enjoy all of great football players.
As EA Sports FC 24 moves forward, it will be a great test subject for football video game fans around the world. What do you think? Will EA and FIFA always be stealing players from each other or is there room enough for both games to survive, when FIFA inevitably reveals a new developer?
