EA FC 25 Preview

Chris Rigg emerges as one of the best young talents in EA Sports FC 25, and he has already made his mark at Sunderland. He is their youngest goalscorer in the league and the EFL Cup, which is a clear indication of his quality. As a result, you must not miss the opportunity to have the midfielder in your t


After a solid 2023/2024 season, EA has kept his overall rating at the same number, which is 91. However, they have made a few alterations, with the pace and shooting being reduced, and the passing and dribbling being increa


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


For more than 30 years of soccer simulators, screaming Arteta-like at the useless CPU teammates who were both ill-equipped and unwilling to adopt your footballing philosophy. It's got better over the years, but FC 25 's new AI is a further step towards the positive. Teammates are more intelligent, with some further refinement needed. They're still not world class readers of the game, let's say, and the longer you'll spend playing, the more you'll see the same old frustrations about movement off the b


EA has provided her with an overall rating of 90, and she could be the ideal forward that you could try to get into the Ultimate Team. Moreover, Caroline Graham Hansen has a 5-star weak foot, and 5-star skill moves, which will help immensely on the pi


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 of the season promo 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


Passing intelligence has also been overhauled, making it far more complex, in an attempt to introduce personality as an influence and reflect a more realistic experience. It's frustrating, but does feel more true to life. Bad weather also has tangible impact on play, which is fair, but again, will take some getting used

Keny Arroyo is another incredible hidden gem you should look into while playing EA Sports FC 25’s Career Mode. The Ecuadorian footballer has shined for Independiente del Valle, and he has already been playing regularly for their first team. He possesses decent pace and could be a remarkable player to have in the sq


That said, Rush is a great addition, and hopefully the broader adoption of it across game modes will avoid another sorry Volta situation. Tactics feel more substantial, and there is an obvious move here to hand players more control to feel more like real life managers, particularly in player developm


Fran Franczak is a Polish international who has developed in the academy of Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone. He has already made appearances for the first team and has impressed a lot of fans. Many believe that he will be making his breakthrough in the coming ye


With an overall rating of 58 and a potential rating of 81, signing Myles Lewis-Skelly would be a wise decision for your club. Initially, he wouldn’t cost much, and you could even try loaning him from the Premier League s


You can also pick up Career Mode halfway through a season, taking over from a sacked manager or following a player's transfer, with live updates being added as real-life incidents happen in the leagues. In a similar vein, you can take Icons through their careers, which is getting closer to the features we've seen in previous World Cup games of recreating classic moments . One day, ma


Coming to his stats in the game, the player has 88 dribbling, 87 shooting, 83 passing, 83 physical, 80 pace, and 78 defending. Thanks to these incredible numbers, he will be a solid option to use in the attacking midfield positi


On the pitch, it's EA FC. It looks the same as last year and the general feeling of the game is similar, too. That's to be expected, and while going back to those videos from EA did reveal some under the hood tweaks (more on those below), it's hard to see that much impact in the short time I had actually playing the g


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
