From Pro Clubs to Clubs. The successor to the popular mode offers a few new features in EA Sports FC 24 for you. One change, in particular, has been eagerly anticipated by many players. What this adjustment is and what other new feature is being critically viewed by some in the FIFA community can be found on MeinMMO.
What is this new feature? EA Sports has listened to the community and is introducing crossplay for the first time since the introduction of Pro Clubs, so you can now play the mode with your friends or against opponents on other consoles.
However, crossplay in Clubs only exists within a generation. The next-gen consoles (PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) share a common platform. The same applies to PS4 and Xbox One.
However, you do not have to use crossplay if you don’t want to. This pre-set option can easily be disabled in the menu.
EA introduces a new league system with playoffs in Clubs
Why are players skeptical? With FC 24, EA is making a change to the league system of Clubs and introducing playoffs. Parts of the community are not thrilled about this.
Similar to how you know it from Rivals in Ultimate Team, you now play seasonally for a certain total score. This determines which division you will be placed in to then participate in the playoffs at the end of the respective season.
In the playoffs, you have the opportunity to climb higher with each win. After the playoffs conclude at the end of a season, you will receive rewards in the form of trophies or experience points for your player and your club.
Until now, you have entered League 10 after founding your club, and you could gradually advance to better leagues if you reached a certain point score in designated matches. Conversely, if your club did not achieve a certain number of points, you would drop down a tier.
New league model sparks discussions
What is the community’s reaction to the new system? That “new” does not necessarily mean better has already been expressed by a well-known German FIFA streamer regarding the changes in Ultimate Team . Criticism of the changes in Clubs did not take long to appear.
The fact that the new league system is viewed with some skepticism is evident from a few Reddit users. Some fear that the Clubs mode could become just as competitive as the Rivals mode in Ultimate Team due to the new system without promotion and relegation.
This concern is also reflected in the comment from Guapogringo11. He writes: “No relegation is an L, Pro Clubs has always been a place for me and my friends where I could escape the Rivals system (via Reddit).”
Another user fears that the mode could quickly become frustrating if, in a new division, they realize they cannot keep up with other players. NaildDeChamp expresses something to the effect of: “So if my team gets promoted to a new division and we aren’t good enough, are we stuck there? Sounds like a great way to get players to stop playing the mode (via Reddit).”
In the end, it will show how the new league and playoff system holds up. In any case, it seems that EA has paid attention not only to the seemingly most popular modes, Ultimate Team and the manager/player career.
