Palace players react to their EA Sports FC 24 ratings - News

Football gaming fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the release of EA Sports' new title, renamed following the conclusion of the publishers' partnership with FIFA.

EA Sports FC becomes available to the general public at the end of this week – and now, Palace players and fans can see just how highly their favourite players have been rated in the game.

With cards all carrying ratings out of 100 in six categories - pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending and physical attributes - the most important categories for each position are weighted to produce an 'Overall' rating in the game.

Eze's Overall rating of 79 is Palace's highest – up one point from FIFA 23 – with four players following closely behind on 78: Joachim Andersen, Cheick Doucouré, Marc Guéhi and Michael Olise.

And who better to break the news to one another than the Palace players themselves? See how they did so on Palace TV below...

Palace PlayStyles

FIFA expert Ali Nauman explains...

It is worth noting that these ratings do not represent the complete picture for Palace gamers.

In EA Sports FC, players have the opportunity to upgrade their favourite cards throughout the season in Ultimate Team mode using a new feature: Evolutions.

These allow players to level up their favourite players by giving them upgrades to their weak foot, skill moves, alternate positions and ratings.

What's more, EA has introduced unique player capabilities – PlayStyles – this year, which bring out on-field abilities beyond just a player's Overall rating.

Eze, for example, has three PlayStyles assigned to him: Technical, which bolsters dribbling ability; Flair, which speaks for itself; and Trivela, which boosts his ability with the outside of the boot.

Other examples in Palace's squad include Jeffrey Schlupp, who has the Rapid Playstyle; Guéhi, whose style is Anticipate; and Michael Olise, who specialises in a massive six PlayStyles: Finesse Shot, Dead Ball, Long Ball Pass, Technical, Flair and Trivela.
