EA Sports FC 25 Reviews
EA Sports FC 25 remains the top choice for football fans. This is largely due to the lack of competition, but there are still new features to be highlighted: the more realistic and precise gameplay, the more practical Career Mode and, the big highlight, the new Rush mode. Overall, the FC 25 innovates some details, without losing the familiarity that we have become accustomed to, both good and bad.

There are many adjustments in this year’s instalment of EA Sports FC, plenty of them minor and some of them a bit more obvious. I always come back to the fact though that it must be incredibly difficult to change a football game year on year without changing the gameplay loop. The stand-out addition for me is the addition of Rush in both Pro Clubs and Ultimate Team, allowing you to play five a side without those silly Volta power-ups from years gone by. If you’re on the fence about whether you want to spend your hard-earned on a game that may not differ much if you invest time in a particular mode, then I recommend playing the ten-hour trial.
EA SPORTS FC 25 brings tactical and visual improvements, delivering smoother gameplay and more intelligent artificial intelligence. Graphics are even more realistic thanks to Hypermotion, and the new "Rush Mode" guarantees fast-paced and strategic matches. Ultimate Team and Career Mode have also evolved, including major women's football leagues. For die-hard fans, it's worth the investment, but more casual players may prefer to wait for a sale.

The bottom line with EA Sports FC 25 is that the game is more of the same that we’ve had from EA Sports in recent years. Age-old bugs and glitches, weird inconsistencies when it comes to gameplay, and the game still has a complete imbalance between defense and offense.

EA Sports FC 25 is, in our opinion, a good exponent of the 30-year-old soccer series with the proper adjustments and new modes. We suspect that EA Sports should move to a less frequent release schedule, even every two years, with seasonal updates in between. Still, Rush mode is an excellent addition and, considering its extensive implementation in the game and specifically in FUT Ultimate Team mode, unlike Volta, bodes well for the future. That said, if you were expecting a radical change, you will be disappointed. The visuals are the same (it is only possible to choose between two different modes), the menus are the same (and they are full of bugs, glitches and sudden freezes) and the gameplay is largely the same, despite painstaking tweaks and refinements that have reduced some mechanics that were overused last year (while introducing others such as too-frequent replays that lead to real pinball). But that's part of being an annual buyer of FC or FIFA, and until EA Sports has a real contender in the market for soccer simulators or similar, don't expect incredible changes or an excellent experience.

EA SPORTS FC 25 not only maintains the tradition of the series, but also reinvents itself, even if the Rush mode is not that great. However, with significant improvements in graphics and gameplay, focusing more on strategy, in addition to the inclusion of more teams, stadiums and leagues, EA SPORTS FC 25 is a great game for soccer fans. I don't know if I'm being too optimistic, but so far, my experience with the game, especially in Career mode, has been well balanced and immersive, something that EA took a while to start thinking about.

With EA Sports FC 25, Nintendo Switch owners can look forward to the full range of new features, rather than a simple roster update. These include the addition of Rush mode, the new season system, women's leagues and gameplay improvements. If you don't feel that the console is at the end of its cycle during matches, it's quite a different matter in the menus and cinematics. Slowdowns are frequent, not to mention loading times, which remain a little long. For its part, the decision to separate the Ultimate Team market on the Nintendo console from other platforms considerably increases the frustration of building a team and taking on players. All in all, this is probably the only portable edition of this sports simulation, but if you own an Xbox, PlayStation or PC, it's best to opt for these versions.

EA Sports FC 25 is another proof that Electronic Arts has no desire to offer additions of substance to the series

FC 25 is here to add more to the already great FC formula, opening doors to creative innovations such as the FC IQ and Rush to further improve the gameplay in its different game modes.
EA SPORTS FC 25 is definitely an improvement from last year’s title, but not by much, especially when it comes to the on-field gameplay. It’s clear that EA placed more emphasis on their content, tactical gameplay, and more to increase the longevity of this game, and they have done very well in doing so. Plus, the new FC IQ system is an incredible addition to the game.
EA Sports FC 25 offers very little changes compared to its predecessor. FC IQ is certainly a great innovation, but the unchanged gameplay system, which de facto doesn't bring any major new features, doesn't exactly give the football brand the best name.

The new features introduced in this edition of EA Sports FC 25, first and foremost the Rush mode and FC IQ technology, breathe life into the title and forcefully push it in a new direction. Issues are not missing, especially in the AI and online challenges, but even so, the game is a must-have title for fans of the saga.

EA FC 25 has made significant and radical changes to the game following criticism. These changes fulfill the requirement of every 4-5 years for sports games to introduce major innovations without breaking the core of the game.

EA Sports FC 25 is a very familiar game overall, but this year, the series has taken a long step forward that hasn't been taken in a long time.

FC 25 is a game changer that may look the same on the top but will provide everyone with an interesting approach this time around. For all FUT players, the FC IQ will be a game-changer. For all casual players, the Rush mode will be a fresh venture. But overall, the graphics and experience still push on to be a truly next-gen football game that is authentic in and out. It's all the same, but better this time around.
All in all, FC 25 is not a perfect game. There are still areas which EA Sports could improve starting with making FUT less dependent on overpowered cards and capitalizing on FC IQ. [...] However, I enjoyed this iteration more because it honestly tried harder to add more about what I love: offline and online high-level football gaming with stellar production values. The improvements & attempts here made me come back to FC 25 moreso than usual, even if it's the only major console-centric football game in the market.
EA FC 25 is definitely a game of two halves. Its core is still excellent and endlessly enjoyable, and several new additions have given fresh life to the game. However, it remains held back by age-old issues that have plagued the series year-on-year.
While EA Sports FC 25 features welcome improvements to player movements, reactions, and overall pacing, staples like Career Mode continue to saddle the bench.
EA FC 25 itself brings quite a bit of news, especially when it comes to women's soccer. Without too many graphical innovations it still looks great and this time it seems to work better on PC than last year.
