There are a lot of games scheduled to launch alongside Microsoft's Xbox One later this month and gamers that plan on picking up the shiny new console will have a hard time deciding which titles they'll be bringing home. Once they get back to their respective domiciles, setup the platform, and download the mandatory day one update, there may be a compulsive urge to  EA FC 24 Coins pickup an additional game or five. Luckily, users can simply download any of the launch titles from the Xbox Games Store.

All of this sounds great in theory, and the Xbox One's 500GB hard drive can hold quite a bit of content, but gamers will have to be cautious with which games they choose to purchase at the digital storefront. As it turns out, certain pieces of next-gen software can take up a lot of memory. At least, this became instantly apparent when Moonlightswami, a gamer who got his Xbox One early as a result of a Target shipping error, posted a list featuring the file size of every available Xbox One launch title.

Last year's FC 24 was a bit of a disappointment in that it failed to iterate on the previous year's improvements in any appreciable ways. Like many sports games released over the past few years, FC 24 left the impression that the series was standing still — biding its time for the inevitable next-gen jump.

And now that the next-gen jump is almost upon us, and FC 24 is available for all to consume, recommending the current-gen iteration becomes all the more challenging. But, despite the knowledge a crisper version of FC 24 is right around the corner, EA Sports has still made some improvements to the current-gen version that make it worth recommending.

For starters, the on-the-field play feels greatly improved for FC 24. While dribbling, passing, friendly and enemy AI, and shooting have all found a nice sweet spot, the way players jostled for position always felt a bit lacking. In FC 24. that has all changed, with players now able to muscle their way to the ball even if a defender cuts them off. It's a detail that might go unnoticed by some, but one that goes a long way into improving the realism of the game.

Speaking of realism, a big change for this year — at least one that soccer fans will notice — is the way player physics work when shooting. Now, the game will take into account the trajectory and speed of the player to determine what type of shot they are capable of getting off and what animation to use. For example, if a player stumbles before a shot they will lose significant power and they might end up throwing their whole body into a shot, which makes it more difficult for them to field any potential rebounds. It's another subtle touch for FC 24. but one that fans will appreciate for the realism it adds.

Additionally, the decision to tone down last year's first touch mechanic, and to add a new "Protect the Ball" button makes it so players aren't constantly turning the ball over the FIFA 24 Coins  second it reaches them. Players can now more easily collect a past in stride and turn up field without worrying about the ball jumping 5 yards in front of them.
