EA SPORTS FC 25

The EA SPORTS FC 25 continues to build a football simulation around two pillars: short, fast-paced matches and deep tactics. The main innovation is the Rush mode, where teams of five play on a smaller court with limited rules: no offsides, quick throw-ins and an emphasis on speed of decision-making. The format is built into both the collection mode and the club part. The second pillar is the FC IQ system along with the roles of the football players. The coach now has much more fine-tuning available than the primitive scheme of yesteryear: the player can be assigned a certain zone and task, and he will perform it differently depending on the situation. You can change tactics right during the match without leaving the game. The career has grown in detail: starting points with real events of the season have appeared, the opportunities for women's football have expanded, and the development of the club has received additional scenarios. In the Ultimate Team, the ways of leveling up cards have changed, which is why you can bring even the low-rated football players you love to an acceptable level. There are still a lot of settings in the game: difficulty, defensive assistance, automatic switches, camera and match tempo sliders. For those who have been playing for years, this is important - the FC 25 is equally suitable for a single season and for evening online meetings with friends. It’s especially pleasing that the new tactical system is felt gradually: at first you simply use ready-made roles, and then you begin to tailor them to your opponent. The picture and presentation remain at the level of the series: licensed leagues, recognizable stadiums, the work of commentators. The mechanics have become more interesting to follow than before, but you need to master them gradually - those who missed several releases will have to get used to it again.
