EA Sports FC 25 – Everything You Need to Know

As a seasoned football game enthusiast with over two decades of virtual football under my belt, I must say that the upcoming EA Sports FC 25 has truly caught my attention. The intricacies and depth they’ve added to both the league and Player Career modes are nothing short of remarkable.


Each year, franchises – particularly sports franchises – are recognized for the minor enhancements and subtle adjustments they implement to their established structure, and EA Sports FC followed suit last year, despite changing its entire branding from FIFA, which had been its name for numerous years prior. Now, with EA Sports FC 25 just around the corner, it too is promising incremental advancements, along with some notable, more substantial changes as well. As the game’s launch date approaches, here’s a rundown of some crucial details you should be aware of.

RUSH RULES

Previously, we discussed that FC 25 is swapping Volta for a new game mode called Rush, which introduces fresh gameplay rules. To begin with, instead of a kickoff, each Rush match will initiate with both teams charging towards a ball that’s been launched. Conventional half-times are replaced by continuous 7-minute periods in Rush. If the score is tied after this, there’ll be a 2-minute, 20-second overtime called golden goal extra time. If the game remains tied after this, it will proceed to penalties. In Rush, penalties consist of one-on-one chances with a time limit of 10 seconds instead of spot kicks.

RUSH IN CAREER

In the upcoming game FC 25, Rush mode will extend into all major gameplay aspects, including Career Mode. But what does this mean exactly? In Career Mode, Rush will be mainly associated with training. Your team will organize monthly internal Rush matches, offering you an opportunity to nurture and grow young players. The winning side will see more advancement in player development, so it’s essential to focus on these Rush games.

RUSH IN ULTIMATE TEAM

In Ultimate Team, Rush is a quick, fun multiplayer mode for when you’re not ready for a full 11v11 game. You can select one player and create a five-a-side team with up to three friends or play alone if preferred. Winning Rush matches awards you Rush Points that help unlock rewards. By the way, let me tell you about these rewards…

RUSH POINTS

In FIFA 25’s Ultimate Team mode, players can earn Rush Points by participating in and triumphing at Rush events. These points are essential for completing a selection of weekly tasks. Reaching specific levels of Rush Points will enable you to accomplish objectives, which subsequently allows you to unlock an array of unique rewards.

RUSH IN CLUBS

In Clubs, there’ll be a unique twist on Rush gameplay, much like Ultimate Team. Players can engage in multiplayer Rush battles with up to three friends, or team up with one other player and play against two AI-controlled opponents. Successful Rush matches in Clubs will grant Player Rank Points, while losses will decrease them; a higher Player Rank will lead to more lucrative rewards. Additionally, each victory will earn Victory Points, helping your club ascend the global leaderboards.

CLUBHOUSE

For a brief period, let’s delve deeper into Clubs. There are many topics to discuss about this gameplay mode. Consider the latest addition, the Clubhouse, an apt name given its role as a lively meeting place for players. It encourages social interaction among participants, enabling you to instantly observe other players’ activities within a locker room-like environment once you enter the mode. The aim is to foster a more interactive and engaging gaming experience.

FACILITIES IN CLUBS

The Club management of FC 25 is also integrating the idea of Departments, as the term suggests. These Departments will oversee various functions and activities within your team, ranging from hiring personnel like coaches and groundskeepers, to areas such as sports science, scouting, fitness, and numerous others. It’s important to note that different Departments may have distinct impacts on your club and its players, with improved facilities leading to more prosperous teams in terms of development and coaching.

RELEGATIONS IN CLUBS

In simpler terms, EA Sports FC 25 is reintroducing relegations for Club modes. Many players have been eagerly waiting for this feature, and it makes sense because the threat of relegation significantly boosts the intensity of the game. Teams that are struggling will need to compete in Relegation Battles, which are crucial matches at the end of a series of poor performances that decide whether your team stays or gets demoted to a lower division.

LIVE START POINTS AND SNAPSHOTS IN CAREER

This year’s Career Mode will introduce Live Start Points and Snapshots as new features. Essentially, Live Start Points enable players to track real-world outcomes, and because they are continuously updated, you can join in at any gameweek from ten different leagues and twelve cup competitions. Real points, transfers, injuries, player form, and more will be recreated with authenticity. Snapshots, on the other hand, mimic real-life situations throughout the season, with ongoing updates, offering players a chance to engage in virtual action that closely resembles reality.

ORIGIN PLAYER CAREER STORIES

On the Player Career aspect, EA Sports FC 25 is incorporating origin tales. The player you create will start with one of three distinct backstories, ranging from a child prodigy under immense pressure to meet high expectations, to an individual climbing the ranks from humble beginnings, to someone striving for a remarkable comeback following a career-halting injury. As you can guess, each storyline will present its own exclusive challenges and chances.

PLAYER CUSTOMIZATION IMPROVEMENTS

In FC 25, the process of creating and personalizing players is growing even more diverse due to several upgrades and fresh additions. With the game’s innovative Cranium Technology, you can now shape every detail of your player’s face. Moreover, a host of additional features are being introduced, such as various accessories, tattoos, celebration moves, running styles, and much more.

ULTIMATE TEAM’S ENHANCED MATCHDAY EXPERIENCE

Moving on to Ultimate Team, EA Sports FC 25 is revamping its matchday experience. To begin with, a sleek, brand-new stadium has been built as the setting for Ultimate Team matches. Additionally, players can now look forward to pre-match events taking place in tunnels, dressing rooms, and other areas. Moreover, the game will introduce new broadcast elements and sequences to add excitement during the games.

ULTIMATE TEAM’S COSMETIC EVOLUTIONS

In the realm of Ultimate Team, the range of customization possibilities is broadening significantly. This encompasses Player Items, which are now open for more personalized touch. You’ll find an array of new color options, added animations, a selection of sound effects, and even features that showcase your distinctive in-game achievements. Each player card can be upgraded twice in total, offering dedicated players plenty to explore and customize.

FC 25 HIGHLIGHTER

This year’s game introduces the FC 25 Highlighter, essentially functioning as a theater mode. Exclusively on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the Highlighter enables you to craft, customize, modify, and disseminate gameplay videos. It will be incorporated into a fresh interface that will also house returning elements such as Instant Replay, Highlights of Matches, and Recap of Matches.

PC REQUIREMENTS

To run the game ‘FC 25’ smoothly on your PC, it’s crucial to have a fairly strong computer system, particularly when using recommended settings. According to the game’s Steam page, running ‘FC 25’ on minimum settings necessitates either a Ryzen 5 1600 or an i5 6600k CPU, coupled with an RX 570 or GTX 1050 Ti GPU, and at least 8 GB of RAM. For smoother gameplay using recommended settings, you’ll need a more powerful setup such as a Ryzen 7 2700X or i7 6700 CPU, an RX 5600 XT or GTX 1660 GPU, and 12 GB of RAM.
