So, you think you can control Messi with the finesse of a seasoned footballer? Think again. FC24 is a beautiful game to watch, but controlling your players feels like trying to herd cats in a hurricane. You’ll spend more time screaming at the TV than scoring goals.

EA Sports has outdone itself with the visuals. Players look like hyper-realistic wax figures, and the stadiums are jaw-dropping. But don’t be fooled by the pretty pictures. The gameplay is a different story altogether.

Ah, Ultimate Team, the digital casino where you can spend real money to build a virtual dream team. Or you can spend countless hours grinding for rewards and still end up with a squad that couldn't beat your local Sunday league team. Your choice!

You’ll experience the full spectrum of emotions in Career Mode: the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and the mind-numbing tedium of press conferences. Your star player will suddenly become injury-prone just when you need him most, and the AI will always seem to know your next move.

FC24 is a game of contrasts: beautiful graphics, frustrating gameplay; addictive Ultimate Team, soul-crushing Career Mode. It’s like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. But one thing’s for sure, you’ll be experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions.

Pros:**

Pretty graphics
Addictive gameplay (sometimes)
Can be a great stress reliever (when you’re not raging)

Cons:**

Frustrating gameplay mechanics
Overreliance on microtransactions
AI that could use a brain transplant

Overall:**
If you enjoy masochism and have a deep pocket, FC24 is the game for you. Otherwise, stick to watching real football.
