Following all these perks, there are a few bummers to look into. Few of them are associated with features that cannot be accessed in the Standard Nintendo Switch version. Crossplay, which prevents console and PC players from playing against Switch players, is a feature that the Switch is missing.

The Division Rivals and Champions tournaments are another Ultimate Team element that Nintendo Switch users are excluded from. users on the handheld console cannot participate in these events.

Even if you are okay with ignoring the missouts, the cost for EA FC 24 on Switch is a major issue for the players. Currently, the game would cost around 60 dollars for the handheld console which when compared to the 40-dollar deal for FIFA 23 makes it a huge leap.
