EA FC 25 Preview

All in all, it's EA FC with some decent additions, which is really all you're looking for. I still suspect Ultimate Team will dominate the conversation and the attention, but there's enough to suggest Career Mode has had a bigger polish and the gameplay will offer something different. If I'm being honest, though, I didn't really feel the differe


The presentation of the game looks a lot more modern with these additions, moving away from coloured dots into more informative panels that are clearly influenced by making Ultimate Team feel like the norm. Player information also emphasises PlayStyles more prominently over the list of endless numbers that dominated previously, while more tactical tweaks will be suggested mid-match. Other gameplay updates include new PlayStyles for goalkeepers, professional fouls, weather impacting play (wind for corner curvage), and greater situational awareness. The sort of thing you'll notice less but grow to appreciate, I susp


Marquinhos is regarded to be currently one of the best centre backs in the world, and the Brazilian defender has been outstanding for PSG in Ligue 1. He has been guiding their backline to several trophies domestically, and their goal is now to find success at the European le


You’ll be starting the Career Mode with not many players with good potential, and you will have to overhaul the entire side. Moreover, you won’t have a substantial budget to work with, which is why signing young players will be necessary. Once you reach the Bundesliga, the finances will improve, and the rebuild will become eas
The commentary is still fitting to the soccer atmosphere, but remains to get easily drained out by the loud crowds which should be the focus. Rush has its own commentator to try and create a vibe, but he's super repetitive and is all over the place on commentary. Rush feels like a newer looter shooter, and that new Nike stadium is gorgeous, but the commentary for the mode isn't needed. This mode isn't about setting an atmosphere. The soundtrack is deep and remains fitting for the title. Different presentations for different championships are still present and including cutscenes in the career modes is a nice touch.


But in presentation and organisation, EA FC feels very different. It feels a lot more Tactico-coded; no longer do players play in Defence or Midfield but as Inverted Wingbacks, Ballplaying Centre Backs, Wide Forwards, Shadow Strikers, and Roaming Playmakers. There have been options to control your positioning on a more micro level before, but this brings it front and centre, emphasising tactical input - how the players react to this is called FC


Within EA Sports FC 25’s Ultimate Team, the player has an overall rating of 86 and is a great centre back to have in the starting stages of the game. He comes with 86 defending, 85 physical, and 82 p


Ada Hegerberg is widely believed to be among the best female footballers, and Www.FC25Leagues.com she has been one of the focal points of Olympique Lyonnais Féminin’s attack. Her finishing is quite lethal, and she has a knack for scoring goals, which can be explained by her record for scoring the most goals in a UEFA Women’s Champions League Sea
EA SPORTS FC 25 's implementation of FC IQ and the addition of Rush pays off. Rush is fun and addictive, but doesn't need the commentator. Playing Clubs Rush is the peak way to play this mode thanks to quick turnover times and player progression. The inclusion of FC IQ and being able to build tactics suited to boost players is a much beneficial addition. The only issue is with menu design in forcing players to back out to swap out bench players to see if they would better fit the scheme. The rest of the overall experience remains the same, but with VOLTA not being the stand out mode it once was. The other game modes benefit from FC IQ. The gameday experience remains fantastic and properly replicates the atmosphere, while the changes to AI greatly affect the gameplay. These two additions alone make EA SPORTS FC 25 stand out as one of the best in the series.


Each player's strengths in each position is based on Opta analysis of the past two seasons, including thousands of minutes, but I'm not sure what this means for lower league players. I'm also less confident in the numbers EA presented, which had Bellingham at 14 percent suitability as a Shadow Striker. Maybe these numbers aren't final, as he also has the Role Plus Plus for this position, which is reserved for world class stars. Every player has a Role Plus, the position and emphasis (Roaming, Deep-Lying, Defensive etc) in which they play best, and Plus Plus is where they are the best of the b

It is also worth noting the overall gameplay and momentum are slowed down. Players have more weight in transition and it is easier to get caught flat-footed. Gameplay is still extremely smooth and putting the ball in the net remains extremely satisfying after the work that is put in. The AI is what stands out the best with the product on the field and seeing the strategy play out with teammates is neat.
