FC IQ: A Game-Changer
One of the most significant gameplay enhancements in FC 25 is the introduction of FC IQ. This groundbreaking tactical feature empowers players with greater control over their team’s actions on the pitch. By leveraging AI, real-world football data from Opta Sports, and player inputs, FC IQ allows for more realistic tactical customization.
The revamped tactics system provides players with enhanced flexibility and control, introducing over 50 new player roles based on actual match data. This means you can issue deeper off-the-ball instructions, leading to a more immersive and strategic gameplay experience.
Enhanced Tactical Control
EA Sports FC 25 introduces a groundbreaking update to its tactics system known as FC IQ. Players can now create up to five personalized tactics and easily switch between them during matches. These custom tactics can be shared across platforms using unique codes, making strategy collaboration simple. For those who prefer a more straightforward approach, preset tactics inspired by renowned styles like Klopp’s gegenpress and Guardiola’s tiki-taka are also available.
Welcome Rush Mode, Farewell Volta
Say goodbye to Volta as Rush Mode takes the spotlight. This new 5v5 gameplay format is accessible in all major modes, including Kick Off, Ultimate Team, Clubs, and Career Mode. Rush Mode is designed for fast-paced, arcade-style matches with unique gameplay rules—no offsides, no fouls, and smaller pitch sizes. This promotes high-energy attacking football and encourages creativity, offering a refreshing alternative within the EA Sports FC 25 experience.
Master Tactical Fouls
Players can now utilize a tactical foul button to execute professional fouls and disrupt promising opponent attacks. While this feature can be effective, players must be cautious, as it may result in yellow cards, and overusing it could lead to red cards.
Inclusion of Women’s Football in Career Mode
For the first time, women’s teams are fully playable in Career Mode, featuring five major leagues along with the Women’s Champions League. Players can now manage both men’s and women’s clubs within a single save file.
Introducing Career Icons
Icons have made their debut in Career Mode, featuring legendary players such as Pirlo, Van Nistelrooy, and Kelly Smith. Pre-ordering the game grants access to additional Icons like Zidane, Beckham, and Brazilian Ronaldo, with more Icons set to be introduced throughout the season.
New Start Points and Snapshots in Career Mode
EA FC 25 adds a Snapshots feature, allowing players to start their season from any week while reflecting real-world statistics like points, injuries, and transfers. The Start Points feature enables you to jump into pivotal moments, such as taking control of a team after significant events like managerial changes or points deductions, adding depth to the Career Mode experience.
Duplicate Management in Ultimate Team
In Ultimate Team, players can now store duplicate untradeable players in a designated area for Squad Building Challenges, accommodating up to 100 players for better management.
The Clubhouse: A New Social Hub
Introducing “The Clubhouse” in Clubs—a vibrant social space where avatars can interact. This hub serves as your team’s gathering place, showcasing your Club’s identity while allowing teammates to appear in the locker room when they join. Customize your space and enjoy a communal experience!
Unmatched Visuals
FC 25 offers an impressive visual upgrade with two graphics modes: Enhanced Visuals featuring ray tracing and 4K upscaling, or Favor Resolution, delivering native 4K at 60fps for the best possible gameplay experience.
