This year the fans will be witnessing a new era unfold. Unlike previous FIFA titles, where just one or two players featuring the Ultimate Edition , the EA Sports FC 24 will feature a total of 31 players in a team photo style.
Needless to say, FIFA has ended its decade long partnership with Electronic arts, which resulted FIFA 23 to be the last installment of these two. So, instead of FIFA 24, this year’s title will be named EA Sports 24.
The stars of The World’s Game are in the club.

Erling Haland , the regular cover star of EA Sports 24, takes the center stage flanked by Sam Ker and Vinicius Junior. One unique aspect of this year’s cover is that instead of using original photos of the football stars, EA has used players’ in game avatars. This innovative idea shows that EA will be connecting the real world to the virtual one.
Addition of Premier League stars like Virgil van Dijk, Heung-Min Son, Alexander Isak, Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka has made EPL fans spark in happiness.
But the most nostalgic and joyful moment for all the football fans will surely be the inclusion of the all-time greats like Pele, Johan Cruyff, Andrea Pirlo, Rudi Voller, Ronaldinho, Didier Drogba and others. This gesture makes the eyes of all generations filled with tears of pride and childish joy.
Unfortunately, every coin has two sides. The Ultimate Edition Cover is no exception.
Despite all the innovative ideas and uniqueness, fans have raised concerns over controversial player faces. Many fans have been disappointed due to the lack of resemblance and poor quality of graphics. Many fans are demanding improvement of the cover faces before the release.
Now it’s up to EA if they will fix this issue that has graved major concerns onto fan’s sentiments.
Fan Reactions: A Divided Response
As the cover is being unveiled, here is how the fan responded:
Some fans are utterly disappointed by the Saka’s face.
I am not buying or playing this game until you fix Saka’s face scan
