The highly anticipated new series, EA FC 24, has recently been released, but it seems that not everyone is pleased with the game's launch. This latest installment takes over from the FIFA series of games after developer EA Sports lost the FIFA license. Despite featuring the same modes and licensed footballers as its predecessor, fans are disappointed to discover that the game is plagued with bugs and glitches.
Launch Bugs Cause Frustration
Many fans have taken to the EA FC 24 subreddit to express their disappointment at the game's launch. A thread on the subreddit is filled with hundreds of fans venting their frustrations. One impassioned user 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 encountered numerous issues, such as menu freezes, crashes necessitating game restarts, and problems with the user interface. The frustration is compounded by modes like Pro Clubs not loading and rewards not being granted when players complete challenges.
EA Sports Addresses Stability Issues
Recognizing the severity of the situation, EA Sports is already working on releasing patches to address the stability issues plaguing the game. However, this does little to help those who paid an additional £30 ($30) for early access and have already been affected by the game's glitches.
One commenter on the subreddit notes, "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." This sentiment is shared by several players who feel that the success of the series has caused EA Sports to prioritize profit over quality, ultimately showing in the game's sales.
Despite the disappointment and frustration, fans remain dedicated to the franchise, many of whom have already purchased the game as soon as it was released. If you would like to learn more about EA FC 24, we encourage you to check out our thorough review.
