EA Sports FC 25 — Better than FIFA or just a name change?
Hey, has anyone here tried EA Sports FC 25 yet? I skipped FC 24 because it felt like FIFA with a different name, but this new one actually looks like they’ve changed stuff. Career mode looks deeper, and apparently Ultimate Team has more customization now?
Yes! I’ve been playing since launch and I actually like it way more than I expected. The gameplay feels a bit slower, which I prefer, and the AI defends much smarter now. Also, you can finally hire real coaches in career mode and they actually affect how your team plays. Small detail, but it adds a lot.
I grabbed it on PS5 and yeah, it’s a solid improvement over FC 24. I play mostly online and the connection has been smooth so far, even during peak hours. Also lol, when I get stuck waiting for matches, I’ve been checking kabaddi live score on another tab — totally unrelated but a fun distraction 😊

Haha that’s a random combo — kabaddi and EA FC...) but I get it, loading times can be brutal. Thanks for the insights! Sounds like they actually put effort into this one. Do you guys feel like Ultimate Team is still pay-to-win, or is it more balanced now?
It’s still kinda pay-to-win tbh, but less aggressive than before. You can build a decent squad just by grinding Squad Battles + Objectives. Also, Evolutions are back and expanded, so you can actually upgrade players over time without relying on luck from packs.
Agreed. I haven’t spent a cent and my squad is already solid after just 2 weeks. You just have to be smart with your coins and not waste them on packs. By the way, the new commentary team is actually not annoying for once — finally 😄
Alright, sounds like a W. Gonna pick it up this weekend and start a Brighton career mode — let’s see if I can finally win the league with them ^^ Appreciate the honest takes!
