EA FC 24: An annoying feature is missing this year and players cheer: “So much easier”

earthpressnews

In the FIFA games, players in Ultimate Team mode had to use position cards to rebuild their team. But this is no longer available in EA FC 24 – and players are just now realizing how much better they find it.

What was that feature? In Ultimate Team you try to build a team with strong cards and as much chemistry as possible. In order for players to contribute to chemistry and get bonuses from good chemistry themselves, they have to be in the right position.

In previous FIFA installments you had to use “position modifiers” for this. For example, cards that first transformed a striker (ST) into a center forward (MS) and then from an MS into a central attacking midfielder (ZOM) if you wanted to order an attacker into the midfield.

These cards cost coins and ultimately time if you had to search for them on the transfer market. And in Squad Building Challenges, the cards were also annoying for many people when they were fiddling around with the positions just to somehow get the chemistry points they still needed.

In EA FC 24, however, the whole thing is simpler because: The position cards simply no longer exist.

Missing position modifiers are well received by players in EA FC 24

This is how the system works now: Instead of modifiers, you now have to look at which alternative positions cards have on their own. They are based on real life, a Messi, for example, can just as easily be placed in the striker (ST) or in the ZOM as in his traditional MS position. You don’t need cards for this.

In addition, there are sometimes wild combinations where strikers also have a defender position that would not have been possible before.

This simplified system is well received by players. An innovation, so to speak, that was made possible by deleting an old feature.

This is how the community reacts: In the EA FC 24 subreddit, players are reporting praise for the new variant. They find that team building and especially squad building challenges are now easier and quicker to complete.

Now it’s much easier to try out different formations or switch players, says user HowardBoBoward (via reddit).

Others agree:

  • Yes, that’s a great change. Not just for the formations, but also for the SBCs. Also, a good job has been done by whoever made sure that the position search takes into account all players who can play that position, and not just the ones they have on the front of their card (via reddit).
  • I hated the move at first because I tend to dislike changes that make the game “easier,” but it saved me tons of coins. I’m not complaining (via reddit).
  • This is, in my opinion, one of the best changes they’ve ever made. That and the abolition of fitness (via reddit).

    • On the other hand, the position modifiers also eliminate an option that could have been sold for coins on the transfer market, as one player noted (via reddit).

    The comparison with fitness cards is particularly useful, as these were removed a few years ago and this also eliminated a hurdle when building a team. That was also a change back then that seemed small at first, but had a massive impact on the game. With the position modifiers there is now another one.
