Introduction

The wait is over for Saudi Arabian football fans! EA Sports has released FC 24, the latest iteration of their popular football simulation franchise, specifically tailored for the KSA region. This review dives deep into the PlayStation 5 version (model number PS5-FC24), focusing on its Arabic language support, gameplay enhancements, and overall performance on the PS5 console. I’ve spent countless hours playing this version, experiencing both the thrills of victory and the agony of defeat, so let’s get into the specifics.

Features

Beyond the expected core features of the FC 24 franchise, the KSA version boasts full Arabic language support, a crucial aspect for local players. The menus, commentary, and in-game text are all seamlessly translated, making for an immersive and enjoyable experience for Arabic-speaking gamers. Beyond language, the game offers the standard roster updates, updated gameplay mechanics, and the usual online and offline modes we expect from a title in this series. The online multiplayer component works flawlessly, with quick matchmaking times and minimal lag during my testing period.

Performance

The game runs incredibly smoothly on the PS5. I experienced no noticeable frame drops or glitches throughout my gameplay sessions. Loading times are remarkably quick, minimizing downtime between matches and menus. The visuals are crisp and clear, showcasing detailed player models and vibrant stadiums. The enhanced gameplay mechanics felt responsive and intuitive, allowing for precise control over players and strategic formations.

Playing online, the server performance proved consistent. I encountered very few instances of lag, even during peak hours. This is a significant improvement over previous years’ online experiences, greatly enhancing the overall multiplayer experience. The game’s AI is also worth mentioning; it presents a credible challenge across various difficulty settings, ensuring a consistently engaging and rewarding gaming experience.
