The new training arena in EA FC 24 offers newcomers the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the game. Two innovations compared to the last FIFA could not only be interesting for beginners.
What is the training arena? The Training Arena is a mode in which you can determine which aspects you want to practice. This year, the opportunities to set individual priorities are greater than ever, making them a real asset in EA FC 24.
We’ll show you where to find the training arena and how to properly use the various exercise options to get better.

The new training arena offers useful training methods
Where can I find the training arena? You can find the training arena as one of three modes in the “Learn the Game” category directly in the main menu when you start EA FC 24. It is there to continue practicing and improving the skills you have acquired in the training center and in the skill games.
If you now select the training arena, the player from your chosen favorite club will appear. If you’ve been playing FIFA for a while, your favorite club’s default settings, as well as your preferred controller settings and difficulty levels, will be adopted in the sequel.
How do I change my team for the training arena? If you are not satisfied with your default team setting, you can also change your team in the main menu in the main category “Learn the Game”. To do this, select the Training Center subcategory. In the training center, press the triangle button on the Playstation or the Y button on the Xbox so that a selection menu of all the teams available in EA FC 24 appears.
Once you have selected your favorite team and are in the training arena, you either have the option to just get started or you can open the training arena menu using the options button on the Playstation or the menu button on the Xbox.
Last year there was only the option to train free kicks, adjust the settings such as the camera or game page or use control and special movement aids.
Keyword camera: We have the best camera settings in EA FC 24 for you, which even the professionals play.
This year, the Training Arena menu with Scenarios and Training Game offers two new options that really make sense when used thoughtfully.
With the scenario option you can simulate real-life situations
What are scenarios? You can recreate game situations individually in the scenarios. You have control over how many players you want to attack with as well as how many players you want to compete against. But not only that.
The scenarios also offer the opportunity to position your teammates and the opposing players on the field. This allows you to either practice your build-up game in your own half, simulate counterattack situations with a superior number or recreate one-on-one situations with a defender.
Conversely, the scenarios are of course also conceivable in order to use your players to disrupt the opponent’s build-up game or to defend outnumbered situations in the opponent’s counterattack. You decide who gets the ball by placing it freely on the field.
A scenario ends when the ball goes out of bounds or a goal is scored.
Even the best training methods are only of limited help if you choose the wrong approach in the game. We’ll show you the best tactics and formations for the start of EA FC 24.
What difficulty level do the opponents have in the training arena? You can freely choose the level of difficulty from beginner to legend. Depending on what level you are at in EA FC 24, we would recommend that you gradually increase the difficulty level when you feel like you have mastered the scenarios you have set up.
One thing we noticed: Even though we were playing on a novice or amateur basis, the attackers were unusually strong again after each completed scenario. What has proven useful for us is to briefly switch between the difficulty levels in order to actually play on an easy level of difficulty again.
The bottom line is that the scenarios allow you to selectively improve your playing style by simulating different situations and familiarize yourself with the new game mechanics. Maybe you can also try out the new skill moves or the new OP dribbling in EA FC 24 by first completely avoiding opponents.
You can then check your gameplay progress with another option in the training arena. You can read what that is below.
Put your skills to the test in a training game
This is what a training game brings: You can then put your skills to the test in the training game. Here, like in a real game, you compete against your worst opponent with a complete team of 11 players.
For example, if you have selected Bayern Munich, then you will play against the Borussia Dortmund players in training. FC Barcelona would play against Real Madrid and so on.
In the training game you will inevitably be confronted with different scenarios that a football game has to offer. You may already notice significant improvements in certain situations. New scenarios may also arise that you had not previously considered and that you can recreate in the training arena.
Once you’ve gotten the finishing touches in the training arena, you can jump into the new Ultimate Team season. We have 8 interesting players that you can get for just a few coins.
