It’s that time of year when EA Sports releases their football video game simulation but it’s not called ‘FIFA’ this time around.
Due to the relationship ending between the developer and football’s governing body, football’s leading video game has a new name – FC 24.
Does it stack up with previous versions of ‘FIFA’?

What are the differences between FC 24 and FIFA 23?
The good news is that there is no significant drawbacks to FC 24 losing the FIFA licensing.
In fact, it’s only really the name FIFA that has been lost from the game, with significant competitions and players still remaining licensed in the game.
This includes the Champions League, Europa League, Premier League, Serie A and La Liga etc.
While the superstar players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland are all playable as usual.
However, any World Cup modes or mention won’t exist in the franchise, but this is like any non-World Cup year with the game.
And FIFA Ultimate Team will now simply be called Ultimate Team.
