EA Sports FC 25 Reviews
EA Sports FC 25 has stumbled through another year in a lackluster fashion. If last year's conservative approach could be attributed to the series' rebranding, this year's lack of ambition is inexcusable. Moreover, the widespread controller bugs and various other issues at launch make it hard not to question EA's commitment to the franchise.

With the details of the game getting more nuanced, coupled with the advancement of artificial intelligence, EA should really explore scraping the marketing gimmicks and focus on their core mechanics and how they all function. At this point with very little competition in the football/soccer arena, EA doesn’t need catchy features like “HyperMotion” or “FC IQ” to move units. The brand, the licenses, and the modes are what bring people to EA FC 25 year on year. Next year, bring me EA FC 26: Back to Basics.
EA Sports FC 25 continues along the same path as its predecessor, but with a slightly faster and more decisive pace. The new focus on tactics could be the first step toward a more ambitious vision for the future of the series. Overall, this installment proves to be content-rich, relying on the usual winning features while introducing a new 5v5 mode that adds just the right touch to enhance the overall package.

The on-pitch gameplay takes a few steps forward in the right direction, empowering the defensive side of the game, but FC 25 stops short of taking necessary strides towards meaningful upgrades that could change the game for good. The continued apathy towards career mode, however, remains the biggest complaint. Gaping cracks in the quintessential mode have repeatedly been ignored for surface-level improvements — as if a new coat of paint would change the fact that the underlying wall is rotting. EA Sports FC 25, disappointingly, opts to do the same, even though a foundational change is long overdue. Over the past few years, EA's long-running football franchise has essentially embraced a live service strategy, with minor seasonal upgrades rolled out annually to an audience hooked to its unethical commercial model. The only difference is that EA asks you to pay full price every year for a “new” game.
EA Sports FC 25 is based on two elements. Will you like the new mode and have fun arranging new tactics? Then you will be delighted. Otherwise, there may be problems.

Despite numerous efforts and innovations, FC 25 remains in the shadow of FIFA's golden era. While promising new features like FC IQ and AI Behavior signal progress, the past few years have been challenging. The path ahead for the EA Sports FC series looks even more difficult as it strives to recapture the glory of its predecessor.

EA Sports FC 25 delivers on the usual incremental improvement model of this sports franchise. It's a solid football game with plenty of variety that fans won't be too conflicted about getting stuck into.
EA FC 25 introduces a variety of new features to this installment. With more strategic options, a new animation style, and a Rush mode, it's clear that this is a strong entry in the evolving series, pushing it even further forward. While we can expect improvements and bug fixes throughout the game's lifespan, concerns remain about the restricted movement of goalkeepers and the slightly slow gameplay. However, overall, it offers a fun and enjoyable experience.

EA Sports FC 25 builds on the great technological innovations of last year's edition and takes them a little further, making football more realistic and tactical. And you have much more and better control over it all. However, the game doesn't offer any major innovations to convince you that this is the edition you need to pick up.

EA Sports FC 25 marks a turning point for the better in the renewed soccer franchise. Of course, it drags some vices from the past, but it is far from those disastrous moments or those that showed a lack of interest by the followers of this type of game. We can say that foundations are being built for a total football experience that satisfies casual and demanding players, and that is saying a lot, as it breaks with the mediocre period of recent years. We are sure that this year's installment will entertain you more and that you will shout each goal with emotion as if it were real, so, believe it or not, there are more good than bad this year. Happy start of the soccer season!

EA Sports FC 25 has been the game that has received the most serious development among the football games released in recent years. The depth that FC IQ adds to the game and the revolution made in tactical sense will give great pleasure especially for those who like to read the game from the sidelines. However, it should not be forgotten that this is ultimately an EA Sports football game, if it can maintain the same pleasure after a patch or two, EA FC 25 can successfully write its name in the history of football games.

EA Sports FC 25 is a mix of familiar gameplay and new features. The best new addition to this year’s game is Rush mode. It offers fast-paced five-a-side matches that are fun and easy to play. The game also introduces improved tactics, allowing you to customize your team more effectively. While the graphics and animations look great, slow menus and some online balance issues are frustrating. Overall, FC 25 is a solid game that offers something for both casual players and hardcore fans.
I understand that EA FC is a yearly game series, and that is going to come with limitations. That said, people are paying full price for these changes, and we just don’t get enough here. Ultimate Team has a few quality of life changes, and the new Rush mode is good fun, but again, the fun comes from you – the game is just a sandbox for your imagination.
I know they say it every year, but EA Sports FC 25 is the best release yet, by a long shot. I love jumping into these titles each year, and I’ve been able to watch the games evolve over time.
EA FC25 is one step forward, two steps back. It still has some appeal for die-hard fans of the series, but it's not enough to attract new players or bring back those who have drifted away from the franchise. EA needs to seriously rethink some fundamental aspects of the game if it's to maintain its not-so-threatened position as the leader of soccer games in the long term. For long-time fans, EA FC25 could be a passable experience, but it still has a long way to go before it becomes the great game everyone has come to expect.

EA Sports FC 25 is the best football game of the year, but that’s not saying much: Konamis eFootball is still so much worse than FC 25, that it really doesn’t have any competition.

A food that is equally delicious whether you reheat it or eat it cold. A title that reminds us that gaming is all about fun.
EA FC 25 is definitely a step in the right direction for the franchise, and it’s clear that EA genuinely wants to create the best football simulation in the world. However, Ultimate Team remains the centerpiece game mode, and year after year, it stays largely unchanged.

EA Sports FC 25 is the best football game on the market, but primarily because there are no real alternatives.
