EA FC 24 Logo

EA Sports unveiled the official logo for EA FC 24 in April. The logo features the abbreviation “FC” and draws inspiration from the triangular shape synonymous with football. The change in branding is an important step for EA as it moves away from the FIFA franchise and establishes a new identity for its football series.

Adding to the official reveal, the new EA FC 24 logo has also been revealed by @PlayStationSize, a known leaker who has a proven track record of exposing upcoming upgrades. Two images—one of the familiar triangle EA FC series logo and the other of a new EA FC 24 logo with what appears to be an official background—were leaked by the leaker.’

The new logo appears to follow a format similar to other EA Sports FIFA logos that we have seen throughout the years. The EA Sports logo, which is essentially the same as the FIFA 23 logo with the word “FC” in place of “FIFA,” is displayed next to the text “FC 24” in a tilted typeface.

EA FC 24 Gameplay and Features Leaks

Leakers and insiders have provided some intriguing information about EA FC 24. @FUTZONEFIFA on Twitter has shared leaks regarding the game’s features, including an online Career Mode, dynamic packs, competitive co-op, a revamp of the VOLTA Football mode, crossplay support for Pro Clubs, new women’s football modes, and an overhaul of the FUT transfer market.

If this is true, it stands to reason that female players currently active will be represented on Ultimate Team. Additionally, you can select a player and level him up over the year in “Academy,” which is similar to the Future Stars Academy Objectives in FIFA 23.

Traits system

Another reported addition is the Traits system, which resembles badges in NBA 2K23 or X-Factor skills in NHL 23. This system aims to enhance player authenticity by providing unique animations, gameplay benefits, and new behaviors.

Seven additional categories (Scoring, Passing, Defending, Dribbling, Physical, Goalkeeping & FUT Specific Gameplay) and two types of traits (Base and Icon) are supposedly included. These are some of the features that are allegedly now being tested, according to the leaker:

• Team Captain – Boosts low chemistry players (Players on 0/3 chemistry improve to 1/3, Players on 1/3 improve to 2/3)
