Playing as the goalkeeper is fun, but can become tedious after time. This is a mode everyone should try out. It is very fun, but for players who are not seriously committed to

EA FC 24 Coins being a goalie, it can become very tedious and boring. Standing in the goal and barking orders is fun for a bit, but playing for a team with a very strong offense can result in a long day of just wandering around the penalty box.

Be A Goalkeeper brings to mind memories of playing MLB The Show's Road To The Show mode as a catcher. It also is a very interesting mode, though it requires a lot of effort for little pay off. Most players will spend the majority of their time in Career Mode, where they may choose to be a Player, Manager or Player/Manager. In the Player Career Mode, gamers take control of a Virtual Pro. Similar to Madden’s Superstar Mode and NHL’s Be A Pro, gamers only have control of their own player as he progresses through his career.

Taking a player from lowly bench warmer to international superstar can be an exceedingly fun journey. There is no feeling greater in a sports game then getting the ball on a break-away and driving home the goal that wins the game. One of the nice parts of this mode is that the player is always evolving. There are a vast amount of achievements that will help build the character’s skills and style with unlockable cleats, socks, and other accessories.

Manager Career Mode is the traditional “franchise” mode found in all other sports games. Gamers have full control of not only the play on the field, but also the front office. They'll have to prove that they have what it takes on the field as well as behind a desk by working to bring other players to their team and making a powerhouse team on the field.

Manager Career Mode is extremely deep and, as with most “franchise” modes, that is not only its greatest asset, but also its Achilles’ heel. Hours can be spent getting lost in managerial menus only to feel like it has all been for nothing, but landing that big name player off the field can be just as rewarding as leading your team to victory on it.

Player/Manager Career Mode offers the best of both worlds. Players get to manage the team and play as a Virtual Pro, battling to bring home the championship. Combining the other two modes allows players to build an amazing team, with themselves as the centerpiece. Sadly, there have been many issues with the online aspect of FC 24. While the gameplay has been great, there have been many issues with EA’s Online Pass and Be A Pro club mode.

On launch day, and for a few days after, many players were unable to cheap Fut 24 Coins validate their Online Pass codes. To play multiplayer the work-around is to simple: use the 7-day free trail that is available. However, doing that only allows for playing online multiplayer matches. Features such as importing a player or team made with the Creation Centre, or even creating a team to play online, are restricted.
