Earlier this week, EA Sports announced EA Sports FC Mobile, the company’s latest mobile football offering, alongside a release date of September 26.
EA Sports FC Mobile will be a free download for all Android and iOS users, and those who already own EA’s existing mobile title – FIFA Football – will receive a free update to the new game upon release. Existing players are invited to sign up as FC Mobile Founders via the current app, which will grant access to the Founders event from August 24 to September 26, as well as in-game player items at launch.
During the week, I was able to attend an FC Mobile presentation that revealed Real Madrid superstar Vini Jr. as the series’ first-ever cover star, as well as going into detail about what changes have been made to elevate the experience for mobile players. Below are some of the improvements that FC Mobile will include.
-
True Player Personality: The world’s most recognizable players come to life with True Player Personality. Authentic running styles, penalty kick stances and celebrations for certain players, all bring EA Sports FC Mobile to a new level of authenticity.
-
Dynamic Game Speed: Mobile-first and tactile game speed, allowing for more player personality and attribute impact on the pitch.
-
Elite Shooting System: Revamped shooting system allows impact players to show up on the scoresheet and make their mark. Feel rewarded when you make smart shooting decisions both inside and outside the box, on a cross, or off the volley. Take control of your favourite attackers and rally your team to victory.
-
Impact Controls:
-
Power Shot: Unleash a high-powered shot that leaves keepers clawing at air. Load up your shot when you’re in space to harness the full potential of Power Shot. Balance the risk and reward of the Power Shot to devastate your opponent and take the lead.
-
Knock On Dribble: Bring your pacey dribblers to top speed faster by knocking the ball ahead into space. Take advantage of your opponent’s high defensive back-line by having your rapid attackers push ahead in a fluid manner. Dribbling with true speedsters takes on a whole new feeling.
-
Hard Tackle: Make your presence felt and assert dominance in defense and midfield by launching a crunching stand tackle. Separate your opponent’s attackers from the ball or make a last-ditch block with new Hard Tackles.
