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.

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.

Despite FC 25 introducing a host of few new features, it still mostly feels like a retread of last year’s entry. That being said, the gameplay remains incredibly solid both online and off, with added realism to make passing and shielding truer to real life. Albeit, you will occasionally stumble upon issues like erratic goalkeeper behaviour and glitching/crashing on PC.

On paper, the changes admittedly sounded bigger, but "EA Sports FC 25" takes the series a good step forward. On the pitch, the paths shaped by FC IQ are particularly striking: Overall, the action is more in the direction of real football in many respects and seems more authentic and, above all, more comprehensible. The expanded tactics options also look good on "EA Sports FC". We can continue to build on them in the coming years. The most coherent innovation is the rush mode. Not only has the 5-on-5 game been cleverly accommodated in all major modes, the fast-paced football action is also really fun. All in all, "EA Sports FC 25" trumps its predecessors narrowly, but still clearly. The changes are noticeably good for the series!

EA Sports FC 25 is undoubtedly the most complete football game in the series, with new features like Rush and improved tactical options in FC IQ, but given the high price of 80 euros, the question remains whether these innovations justify purchasing it again, especially if you already own FC 24, and waiting for a price drop might be a smart choice for those interested in the game.

EA SPORTS FC 25 might not meet expectations if you anticipate a radically different experience from the previous installment. The game expands upon the last versions by introducing new tactical elements, making the gameplay more engaging. That shall suffice some, while others may see it as identical to the previous installment.

It's like a new paint job for a car you've been driving for years, it shines and smells fresh, but it's a highly familiar experience. However, Rush and FC IQ are novelties that deserve high praise in this mission to please Greeks and Trojans.

EA Sports FC 25 delivers a solid Soccer (Football) experience that balances new features with the series’ tried-and-true formula. Its refined physics, improved career modes, and fresh takes on Ultimate Team breathe life into the game, even if it doesn’t drastically revolutionize the genre. Fans looking for major innovations may be left wanting, but those who appreciate steady improvements will find FC 25 to be an enjoyable and immersive step forward in EA’s post-FIFA era. While not without its flaws, especially regarding monetization in Ultimate Team, FC 25 remains a must-play for football enthusiasts.
