EA Sports FC 24 Clubs Deep Dive Overview

The final deep dive for EA Sports FC 24 is here and we’re looking at one of the most anticipated game modes in the new game, Clubs. Players have been hoping for a revamp in Clubs for a while and it looks like we’re finally getting that after years of the same mode being reskinned. 

Cross Play

Cross play is finally coming to clubs, allowing us to finally play with our friends who own different consoles. This will work in the same way as crossplay in other modes, your console generation will depend on who you can play with - PlayStation 5 players can line up with Xbox Series S/X players, and those on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can play together.

Clubs League

A new format is coming to Clubs which will allow us to compete in a totally new way. Each Clubs League season will last for around 6 weeks and be split up into a League and Play-Off phase. 

Clubs will no longer have a limited number of matches to obtain the points required to fight for promotion. In FC 24, every point earned takes your club one step closer to success. Relegation has been taken away from Clubs meaning that losses won’t damage your club’s existing points. The higher up the divisions you go, the more points you will require for promotion. 

Promotion matches will seal your fate as you aim to advance further up the divisions. Once your points target has been reached your team will be required to win a set number of promotion matches in order to advance. If you don’t, you’ll remain in your current division.

The Clubs Playoffs are the crowning glory, the climactic event of every Clubs League season and will take place over the final week of a Clubs season Clubs will be locked into pools based on their division and challenged with completing a set number of matches to rank as high as possible on their respective divisions' Playoff Table.

Each Club will have the chance to play for unique trophies that will be awarded based on your finish. These can be placed around your pitch and able to be viewed in your trophy room.

Club Reputation

For the first time in Clubs, each match will contribute to a shared progression system which will allow clubs to grow together. Clubs will gain fans by playing matches which will contribute to their reputation. By increasing reputation levels, clubs will be able to unlock higher tier AI teammates and other customizable items.

PlayStyles

PlayStyles are essentially replacing traits in FC 24 and they’re also coming to clubs to allow your player to gain the edge over opponents. You’ll be granted 6 standard PlayStyle slots with the ability to upgrade 2 to a PlayStyle+. You’ll have access to each individual PlayStyle to experiment and find which is best for you, but will be capped at the amount you can have active. 

Switch

Clubs will be introduced to the Nintendo Switch for the first time ever. After years of the same reskinned game, we are hoping for a new version of FC 24 for the Switch and with Clubs being introduced it looks to be heading that way!
