We are just a few short weeks away from EA Sports FC 25, which releases on September 27th 2024, with seven days early access beginning on September 20th for people who pre-order the Ultimate Edition. Over the last month or so, while you’ve likely been on vacation, EA has been releasing a series of deep dives on the EA Sports FC Youtube channel. Below you will find links to each deep dive with a small summary on each episode to get you to the details you want more easily.
First up we have the gameplay deep dive in which the team discuss the following:
- FC IQ – An overhaul of tactical foundations across the game delivers greater strategic control and more realistic collective movement at the team level, while a new AI model, powered by real-world data, influences player tactics through all-new Player Roles.
- Player Roles – More than 50 new Player Roles will guide the way every player thinks and behaves on the pitch, resulting in more authentic tactical intelligence and movement off the ball.
- Smart Tactics – New real-time suggestions and D-Pad functionalities make in-game tactical decision-making more accessible and intuitive than ever, and new broadcast features allow you to better experience the changes as they take effect.
- Goalkeeper Playstyles – A new level of depth to the goalkeeper’s role, affecting how they react to different situations on the pitch. This technology allows for our AI to better mimic real-life player behaviour, making each match feel fresh and unique.
In the second episode, we get a focused look at the brand new 5v5 Rush gameplay mode and how it integrates across the whole of EA Sports FC 25.
Third up we got a look at Ultimate Team as the team discussed the following:
- Expanded Evolutions
- Community Requested Updates
- A New Ultimate Team Stadium and More
Finally, we come to the Career Mode deep dive, my personal favourite mode from EA’s football/soccer games. As the team discusses changes to both manager and player career modes such as:
- Live Start Points – Allowing you to start from various points in a clubs real world season.
- Updated Press Conferences – You should be asked more relevant questions by press both before and after matches.
- New Simulation Settings – These settings if turned on should result in teams playing in a much more true to life fashion. Adding a level of realism to gameplay not seen before.
- Icons In Player Career – That’s right you can take any of the games icons such as David Beckham and take charge of their career in any modern team you’d like.
- And More
