September Release
It's September, which means another entry in the EA Sports FC series is on the horizon. Ultimate Edition players are already diving in, while Standard Edition players have a bit of a wait ahead.
New Features
The latest entry, EA Sports FC 25, sticks to the familiar formula with a few new concepts. The standout addition is the FC IQ feature, bringing a new layer of tactics management to the game.
FC IQ Feature
With the FC IQ feature, players can now automatically switch formations based on attacking or defending situations. While it may seem complex at first, it adds depth and strategic possibilities for long-time fans.
Unified Season Pass
Another major change is the introduction of a unified season pass, allowing players to earn XP across all modes. This shift may breathe new life into Career Mode, offering an alternative to the grind of Ultimate Team matches.
Gameplay Improvements
On the pitch, gameplay remains familiar but with tweaks to defensive capabilities and goalkeeper performance. While the game may feel similar to previous versions, the enhancements to FC IQ offer a fresh experience for those willing to explore.
Graphics and AR Elements
Playing on PS5 introduces the new Graphics mode, but differences may be subtle. AR elements and cutscenes add flair but can be a bit distracting for some players. Despite fewer innovations overall, the potential of FC IQ alone is noteworthy.
Final Thoughts
EA Sports FC 25 may not revolutionize the series, but the introduction of FC IQ and other tweaks provide enough depth for dedicated fans. Whether you embrace the new features or stick to the familiar, the latest release offers an updated experience for all players.
