What can the new FIFA do?

Leipzig – When the year slowly turns to fall, you know you're in for a long haul. Game loverIt's time for a new FIFA. Although FIFA is no longer called FIFA but rather Since last year EA SPORTS FC. As per tradition, the 25th addition has now been added to the back.

In fact, as with every new branch, it can be said right away that you should not expect any huge leaps. Anyone who has ever played one of the titles in the series knows that there are no major changes in the image or gameplay.

What is always being worked on are some modes and AI behaviors. In line with this, FC IQ has now been introduced. Basically, this ensures that your base system can change in possession or in attacking football.

Example: You start with a 4-4-2 and control the ball, and switch to a 4-3-3. We liked that a lot in the first few games because there are definitely some tactical aspects that you have to/can pay more attention to now.

There is also a positive innovation in the mentioned modes: the 5v5 Rush mode. Based on the semi-popular Volta mode, this is a small event. The match lasts seven minutes. The kickers have no fixed positions and there are only blue cards, which impose a time penalty of 60 seconds.

The wild is beautiful, but really bucks! Also because defeats are not that important to some extent due to the short duration of the match.

And what else? These are the typical details that should distinguish the new “EA Sports FC” from its predecessor. For example, the so-called PlayStyles can upgrade your goalkeepers, who show their full class and can stretch significantly during some performances.

Or manual defensive behavior, which is now a little easier. But be careful: the yellow box now appears more often for tactical errors.

So, evictions are likely to become more of the norm.

In the end, as is the case every year, everyone knows what to expect.

Those who compete with friends in Ultimate Team to improve their squad will buy the update anyway, regardless of whether EA cancels all remaining modes.

The successful model certainly won’t stop suddenly with “EA Sports FC 25”. Objectively speaking, you get a comprehensive game that can, as always, put you in a good mood or be extremely frustrating.
