If your EA FC 24 matches feel too predictable or overwhelming, tweaking the difficulty settings can provide a more balanced and enjoyable gameplay. Here’s a guide on adjusting your difficulty settings in EA FC 24.

In EA FC 24 , there’s no shortage of avenues to showcase your skills against real-life opponents, spanning from Online Seasons and Ultimate Team‘s Division Rivals to Champions. Yet, if you prefer honing your abilities offline, the game provides numerous solo challenges and modes to sharpen your gameplay.

The beauty of playing against the CPU is that you can tailor the experience to match your skill level, all the way down to the difficulty of the opposition team. That being said, you’ll have to manually change the settings yourself.

Here’s how to change the difficulty settings in EA FC 24.

Those looking to crank up the difficulty even further can choose the Ultimate option, however, this is only available in Career Mode and Ultimate Team. Career Mode players can access it by loading up their save and heading into the settings under ‘Customise,’ while Ultimate Team players can select it before a Squad Battle or other single-player matches.

To make your time with EA FC 24 as enjoyable as possible, make sure you’ve selected a difficulty that strikes a balance to make it fun as well as challenging. We recommend returning players start out on World Class, while newcomers can learn the ropes on Semi-Pro or Professional.
