One of the major features EA Sports boasted about in EA Sports FC 24 Coins was the improved goalkeeper AI, however as anyone who has played the game will confirm, there's an extensive way to go. FC 24 appears to have brought about some invasive AI adjustments to goalkeepers, and they've been able to gather a habit of sprinting out to great distances in an attempt to sneak into strikers. There aren't all goalkeepers who can be used as a Neuer-like sweeper goalkeeper and the blunders that happen can make fans think over what they saw on the screen. Alongside other doubtful AI options, there's clearly some work to be done goalskeeper AI that has to be completed.
A further significant improvement is to move beyond automated AI functions by themselves. Rival football games such as Sport Interactive's Football Manager series has skill stats like 'tendency to punch and rushing out', which result in goalkeepers responding to the same scenario in completely different ways. This uniqueness creates a sense of individuality for goalkeepers which adds a touch in depth and character to a brand in which most players look for the goalkeeper who has an overall higher EA Sports FC score.
When a player has made it through a half-season of active play, they've experienced a lot of stale phrases that are repeated. The EA Sports FC series is the most popular with the most teams and players of all EA Sports brand, and so the addition of more distinctive commentary isn't an easy task because the studio has to be on the move each year to introduce thousands of brand new names and commentary along with the schedules of full-time, full-time commentators. It's been dominated with Martin Tyler and Allen Smith for quite a while and while they're a fantastic pair, it could get somewhat repetitive hearing the identical sound cues year after year.
In the past, EA Sports actually offered alternate commentators through DLC. We think that the studio could consider offering for the next time, or possibly making available right from the start because each new version of the game seems more familiar after players launch it and are able to hear the same messages they've heard for the last couple of years. The issue is a bit more severe when playing in Manager Mode, where unique verbal cues are used to certain events, such as signings of players. It's all fine but when they discuss a signing during one game and afterward, repeat the exact conversation regarding the same player during the next game.
It's not an easy task when it comes to inserting the thousands of words of dialogue in the game However, a little bit of effort in this field will surely be a good thing in keeping the regular content of the series.
Career Mode was the mainstay of EA's offerings however this title is now firmly in the hands of EA Sports FC Ultimate Team. This has led to sloppy attempts to create new content for the Career Mode such as training camps in game and seasonal objectives however, EA Sports needs to update the content it has already. Training events could serve as a replacement for loading screens however, having them play a major (and repetitive) role in the player's development is a hassle and can slow down the pace of play.
The tiny niggles in the game do accumulate after a certain period of time. This problem becomes exponential when you play an annualized game. But the fact that certain errors persist for this long warrants attention. for example, in EA FC 24 Coins we noticed that when a player makes several substitutions at the same at the same time, the game often does not accurately record the person who was substituted for whom. If two attackers swap places in the same moment when two defenders are in the same position and the game says the attacker was onto the defense - it's not an problem, but it's been able to persist for more than 10 years.
