EA just unveiled the cover of its upcoming football simulation game EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition, featuring some of the sport's biggest players alongside legends of the past. It is worth noting that the star-studded cover looks a little odd, with the players' faces appearing poorly rendered and as if they're trying to mask their pain.

Meanwhile, the Italian maestro Andrea Pirlo looks as if he's traumatised, staring off into the distance with big, round eyes. The trailer sets the stage for a new era, giving a first look at some of the player models as they josh around in the locker rooms.
