It\u2019s the most wonderful time of the year, FIFA fans – no, not Christmas (put those darn decorations away). It\u2019s once again time to see if the Nintendo Switch version of EA\u2019s premiere soccer series is still a complete mess. The good news is that, alongside a name change to EA Sports FC 24, we\u2019ve finally gotten past the point where this port is simply a copy of the previous year with \u201cthe same gameplay innovation from [insert previous year] without any new development or significant enhancements,\u201d like it was last year<\/u><\/a>, and the year before that<\/u><\/a>\u2026 and the year before that<\/u><\/a> (and <\/em>the year before that<\/em><\/u><\/a>)<\/em>. The bad news is that it is still dreadfully out of date. <\/p>\n

The long overdue switch to the Frostbite engine is a considerable step up from the previous Legacy engine, as the visuals look a bit more detailed and the gameplay feels better than FIFA 23 Legacy Edition, but the leap isn\u2019t massive. EA Sports FC 24 has essentially gone from having PS2-era graphics and framerate to that of the PS3 \u2013 while the difference between those two was impressive in 2006, unfortunately for Switch owners, it is currently 2023. The 30 frames-per-second action feels painfully slow, especially compared to the HyperMotion technology used on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions. <\/p>\n
