EA Sports has historically had problems in ensuring that the latest release of its sports games have been feature complete for the Switch versions. According to Eurogamer, the company has now revealed that its sports games coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 will be more feature complete, rather than relying on pared-down versions that offer little more than updated rosters.

“We’re excited to bring two of our most beloved franchises – EA Sports FC and Madden NFL – to Nintendo’s Switch 2, giving fans even more ways to play the sports they love, anytime and anywhere,” said EA in a statement. “Both experiences are being built specifically for the new handheld platform, grounded in what fans enjoy from our franchises across platforms. We look forward to sharing more soon.”

It is worth noting that EA has been careful with its statement so as to not outright promise feature parity for the Switch 2 versions of EA Sports FC and Madden NFL when compared to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions. Rather, the company has said that it will try to make the Switch 2 versions of the games with as many features “as the hardware allows.”

“We’ll share more details on the Madden NFL and FC experiences for Switch 2 at a later date, but our goal is always to deliver a consistent player experience across platforms as much as the hardware allows,” said the company in its statement.

When asked about whether the Switch 2 versions of the titles will also feature cross-platform multiplayer across the other consoles, EA didn’t confirm things one way or another. It did mention that its sports games on the Switch 2 will be specially “designed for the Switch 2.”

“We’re excited to bring two of our most beloved franchises, EA SPORTS FC and Madden NFL, to Nintendo’s new handheld platform, Switch 2. It’s a great opportunity to reach even more fans – especially younger players – with the sports they love,” said the company.

Traditionally, titles like EA Sports FC have been quite anemic when it came to features on the Nintendo Switch. The company made a big deal of announcing that EA Sports FC 24 would include the Ultimate Team mode, for instance. The company has referred to the Switch releases of its sports games as “Legacy” versions. Older games that went under the FIFA moniker also lacked quite a few features when compared to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions.

EA is likely looking to increase the player base for its sports games, especially since a report from back in January indicated that EA Sports FC 25‘s underperformance might have contributed to a massive market value loss for the company.

For instance, FIFA 23 was missing out on upgrades over the previous title, with features like improved animations systems and things like FUT Moments and revamped chemistry systems not being available.

The most recent title in the football franchise was EA Sports FC 25. For more details on the game, check out our review. You can also check out the 15 major differences between EA Sports FC 25 and its predecessor, EA Sports FC 24.
