In EA FC 24 are one of the most important innovations. And more and more players feel that these significantly influence the game.
What are PlayStyles? PlayStyles are basically abilities that players can have. For example, there are PlayStyles that improve dribbling, provide stronger shots, enable great passes, and more.
We have an overview of all PlayStyles here for you.
These PlayStyles are assigned to players based on their real-life counterparts. For example, Kylian Mbappé brings PlayStyles that favor a quick start or particularly stylish flair passes and shots.
In addition, there is a stronger variant called PlayStyle+
. They are particularly interesting because when a player has the plus variant of a PlayStyle, the effect is amplified.
While the feature was somewhat opaque at first, players have been realizing more clearly since the release of EA FC 24: PlayStyles are evidently more than just another stat, but possibly game-changing.
Strong PlayStyles suddenly make players really interesting
What makes PlayStyles so exciting? Some PlayStyles are directly tied to gameplay elements. For example, the Technical
PlayStyle can improve the new R1 dribbling, which is already considered OP. Players who have this become really interesting.
In past FIFAs, players mostly looked only at the card stats, and then more at values like pace or dribbling, as well as the stars for skills or the weak foot. However, PlayStyles seem to be something that should be urgently considered when selecting players.
In the subreddit for EA Sports FC, some users already describe the feature as a new meta and emphasize that players with PlayStyle+ show much more presence.
A user highlights the card of Martin Ødegaard, who would have fallen behind with mediocre pace in past FIFA installments. However, his PlayStyle-boosted passes are so valuable that he remains playable.
A Maddison is also highlighted as a cheap, strong card thanks to his free kick PlayStyle, as his standards are simply very strong.
The user NealGuides on Twitter shows how the PlayStyle+ Stationary Ball
can influence and simplify your free kicks:
Julian Brandt, on the other hand, can serve as a playmaker for a cheap Bundesliga team for the start.
Which PlayStyles are considered particularly strong? For example, the Technical
PlayStyle, which improves R1 dribbling, is currently making the rounds. The player Bernardo Silva has suddenly become popular because, despite low pace, he can suddenly cut through the opposing defense.
A popular PlayStyle right now is the finesse style, which makes finesse shots from outside the box a very good option for scoring goals. Players like Griezmann or Son are becoming increasingly popular for this reason.
There is also a specific PlayStyle for power shots. A list of power shot players we will show you here.
A new feature could become really important: Players are just beginning to discover which PlayStyles are particularly strong and which are worth it in gameplay. One thing is certain: it gives some players on the field a certain personality that should be kept in mind – and this is currently well received by many fans.
How much PlayStyles will influence the game’s meta remains to be seen for now. However, it shouldn’t be long until it’s clearly demonstrated how strong the feature really is.
