FAN FURY

EA FC 24 fans furious as new series has a disappointing launch – but changes are coming

EA FC 24 is out now but not everyone is pleased with the game’s release.

The new series has taken over from the FIFA series of games after developer EA Sports lost the FIFA license.

However, the new series is carrying on in the same vein with the same modes and all the same licensed footballers as the FIFA series.

There is one similarity that fans are not enjoying and that is it launching with a number of bugs.

A thread on the is filled with hundreds of fans disappointed at the game’s launch.

The original poster writes: “You release a game that is full of game breaking bugs and glitches, along with quite possibly the worst content over the first two weeks of UT in the last 10 years.

“This is an absolute failure on all levels.”

Players have experienced a number of issues such as menu freezes, crashes causing people to restart the game, alongside all of the problems with the UI.

EA Sports is already releasing patches to help with the stability issues, but that isn’t any help to those who paid £30 ($30) more for early access.

The more annoying of these are modes like Pro Clubs not loading, or rewards not being given when people complete challenges.

One commenter adds: “Unfortunately, they make more than enough money and there’s no real competition in the market so they can neglect the game and still make crazy profits.”

Players think the series is so successful that EA Sports has given up on the quality, and it shows in the sales.

All of the players in the thread have already been burned by buggy launches, and they still purchased the game as soon as it was released.
