Review: EA SPORTS FC 25 Ushers In Addictive New Mode

According to the above video by YouTube creator DanFIFA , Bellingham has an innate ability to find himself in contended positions often. With 85 Aggression and 93 Stamina, Bellingham is most likely to win wars for the ball, creating chances out of nowhere. With 91 Positioning as well, Bellingham's decisive physical ability can allow you to push past adversity and set up chances to make important sh


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 CAM cards EA FC 25 of the b


The th ree main mid-fielder types are Central Mid-fielders, Centre Defensive Mid-Fielders, and Centre Attacking Mid-Fielders. All of these positions work together in front of your defensive players and behind your forward-facing strikers to pass balls up the field. One of the best playstyles in EA Sports FC to adopt with these players is to pass, steal, and disrupt the enemy team to keep momentum on your s
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.

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.


Then there's Career Mode. I'm a rare breed of EA FC player (or at least I feel like I am) in that Career Mode is my go-to , followed by Online Seasons. Ultimate Team has never had its claws in me much. This time, the biggest change is the addition of women's teams for Career Mode. In our short preview we only had Kick-Off and Rush, but it's a requested change which adds more options to the game with a simple


There are seven players with a pace stat of 94 in EA Sports FC 25, but we have included the three that are most effective in the list. This starts with one of two silver cards featured in the top ten, Brentford winger Kevin Schade . Despite his overall lower rating, he has plenty of attributes that can make him very dangerous on the field. His 94 pace can immediately cause trouble for defenders, especially center backs who are notoriously slower than other positi


Marie Katoto has emerged as one of the finest women strikers in world football, and she has been an absolute star for the women's team of Paris Saint-Germain. Her stats are similar to the previous year, and she remains at the same overall rating of


Ada Hegerberg is widely believed to be among the best female footballers, and 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


It can make picking your formation and best line-up take a little longer, but playing Foden and Doku in the same position but with different roles, I did see an impact in how the players moved around the pitch. It seems good for Career Mode, but takes away from the pick up and go feeling of playing with friends or online, and how it will work in Ultimate Team when cards change players’ stats is still uncl


A striker like Erling Haaland would be the ideal target man to have in EA Sports FC 25’s Ultimate Team. All you would have to do is feed the perfect through balls to the 91-rated striker. He will nearly convert all the chances, so your side won't have to worry about not scoring enough go
