How is virtual football similar to real football
You will play as a football coach with the ability to control the outcome of the match, or as a professional player and contribute to the outcome of each match.
Football coach
This is a career mode in which you choose your gaming club and the league you will play in.
There are many leagues available to you – Scotland, with the opportunity to play for Rangers, England with West Ham, Manchester United, Liverpool and other popular teams, France and Italy, and even more distant leagues.
Having chosen your team, you will receive it in its entirety, with players who have signed valid contracts with a real club at the moment.
Regardless of which team you choose, the general ideas of the game will go one to one, just like in a real football season.
During the first season, you will fight for the cup of the chosen country and the league cup, as well as your place in the Champions and European leagues for the next season.
You also need to take into account the tasks that the board of directors sets for you, which need to be completed, otherwise your contract may simply be terminated, and you will simply look for another team under your wing.
When you form your playing squad, you, as in real football, need to form a scouting staff that will regularly find promising players who will create a good block of players who can be substituted in difficult matches and form a full-fledged reserve squad that will go to matches that precede more important meetings – cup, tournament and derbies with competitors for the league cup.
It’s better for you to win with a supporting cast with a minimal margin, but save the strength of key players for important matches, than to play difficult matches with tired players and lose them with defeat due to big speed problems.
A developed scouting system often brings huge money to their clubs in real football simply by finding a talented junior, pumping him through the main squad, or trying to give everyone such an opportunity and taking the most talented ones into the main squad, or selling them to other clubs for big money, which allow you to buy the players that are needed for the football coach’s scheme, that is, yours.
When you have a well-functioning system for attracting new players, then, combined with the constant increase in gaming experience, the percentage of victories will increase, which means the issue with European cups will be resolved in your favour, and you will most likely start the new season immediately in the group status of the Champions League, or Europe.
Professional player
Many football fans like the idea that they can go to a football school and at the same time create an exact copy of themselves in professional football and, playing only one player, should bring success to their team.
You will choose the position you want to play for. This could be a forward, midfielder, or defender.
You will have your own point on the field and tasks from the coach that need to be completed, otherwise you will simply be replaced. After each match, you will see statistics of your success and with constant and stable growth, you will first move from the secondary team to the main team, and then even receive an invitation to the national team of the selected country.
Once you have played the entire season, you may receive offers from other clubs that are interested in you as a performer, and you will need to decide whether you want to get a new gaming experience and try out other football leagues.
This format is ideal for many people who are interested in football because it simulates a format that shows the ideal outcome at the start of a football career and its development towards promotion, captaincy and progression to national team level, Champions League and European League, as well as major leagues.
Online leagues
Players who want to compete with other players on an ongoing basis must go online and play matches for FC 24 boosting, earning FC 24 coins and simply holding meetings at a level that is not comparable to that shown by artificial intelligence.
Divisions
This is an online league format in which you are calibrated and placed in your division, which corresponds to your level of play.
This is then followed by a regular and systematic approach to playing matches in order to earn the FC 24 coins, improve their level of play and grow in the division system.
While you are playing in your league, your points that you earn during the week will be taken into account and if you score 1500, you will be given access to the Weekend League, and this is a very good format for getting new gold level players, although they will be selected randomly.
To gain points faster, you need to win and draw as much as possible, but if you have a fairly weak squad and can’t win regularly, then you’ll just have to play as much as possible and even through regular defeats, cling to the future tournament and get at least one gold set, which will increase your gaming potential, even though the player will be selected randomly.
Qualification and main stage of the Weekend League
If you were able to score 1500 points within the divisions, you will gain access to the qualification stage, which will last over 10 separate matches. You need to win at least 4 to advance to the main stage.
If you lose most of the matches and do not qualify for the key tournament status, you will still receive at least one gold pack with random players, which will help improve the playing composition.
If you score 4 or more victories, then only at the qualifying stage you can receive at least three large packs with players and move with them to the main stage of the tournament itself, where there will be 20 such matches and each victory will advance you along the tournament path with the opportunity to collect rewards at different milestones.
