Game of FIFA, anyone? Remember those days when we used to say it out loud? But now, EA Sports has dropped the licensing deal and renamed it to EA FC 24 or FC Mobile if you are playing on your phone. Not as catchy, right? So, what was the effect of dropping this household brand name, synonymous with gaming and clear market leader? You might be surprised to know that they had a great year! Despite the big gamble, EA FC 24 is the best-selling game in 2024 in the UK, with gaming in general up 2.9%, of which 90% are digital sales. Hogwarts Legacy and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 follow at No. 2 and No. 3 respectively. So, the huge drops in revenue, massive fall from grace, and a stampede of competitors taking over the top spot did not happen. What do you think about this change? Share your thoughts in the comments below. And, if anyone fancies a game, look for NotoriousGHT 😉 Link below. #marketing #branding Post written with the help of #ai

Timely episode!

New Post: EA Sports FC 24 review – the same but different EA Sports FC 24 – new era, same old (Picture: EA)FIFA 24 is never happening but as EA Sports FC 24 tries to fill the gap just how different are EA’s two football franchises? You’d struggle to find a game whose launch was preceded by more speculation and angst than EA Sports FC 24. Since 1993, EA’s FIFA-branded football games have consistently been amongst the most popular video games in the world. But since EA has now abandoned the FIFA licence, we’ll all have to get used to the bland, unimaginative FC brand with which it is now saddled. Somehow, the phrase ‘Fancy a quick blast on FC?’ doesn’t feel nearly so appealing – like referring to Twitter as X. However, that particular stumbling block shouldn’t take too long to hurdle. That’s because, while FC 24 may sound different to FIFA 24, it doesn’t feel like some gratuitously radical new departure. Yes, EA has used the change in brand to refresh parts of the game which, frankly, needed it – such as the increasingly cumbersome main menu – and has added a few new elements like PlayStyles, as well as tinkering with the game’s underlying technology. But all those parts have been blended into a reassuringly familiar mix, and in many areas FC 24 so outshines FIFA 23 that one suspects that EA may have indulged in some deliberate sandbagging, as the FIFA brand reached the end of its shelf life. One FC 24 conspiracy theory that has been doing the rounds is that its gameplay has been slowed down to the level of sedateness that once characterised Konami’s PES games. That simply isn’t true. Sure, FC 24’s matches proceed at a less frenetic pace than that of FIFA games released at the turn of the millennium, but that was also true of recent iterations. The football you play in FC 24 is truer to real-life, high level football than ever, which has to be a good thing. If you crave the sort of unrealistically fast football that once characterised FIFA games, you can still find it in FC 24’s five-a-side mode, Volta. It tries to strike some sort of balance between FIFA and Super Mario Strikers and turns out to be a fun, if exhausting, way to play. However, it fails to shake the suspicion that its main reason for existing is to persuade you to lash out even more money on lootboxes containing virtual clothes for your footballer to wear. All its street elements – bar the music, which is consistently excellent throughout FC 24 – have more than a whiff of dad-dancing. EA’s tweaks to elements like ball physics and player animation are less immediately obvious than the presentational changes it has made to the game, such as such showing scenes from virtual dressing rooms pre-game and at half time (which add an impressive note of extra realism). But you do feel them as soon as you get on the pitch. That’s because, even compared to FIFA 23, FC 24 feels smoother and more accurate where it matters. Your teams

What is Competitive Socialising 🎱 Simply, it's the act of playing a game with others in a social setting such as a pub. Pool and Darts were some of the first games introduced to the industry way back when, and have now been joined by newer games such as shuffleboards or table football. Why is it so important? Having the option for competitive socialising in your venue helps attract much more footfall and increase dwell times as the games go on! In 2024, this term is going to become more and more relevant to those in the hospitality industry, so keep your eyes peeled! #CompetitiveSocialising #Pool #Darts #Hospitality
