EA SPORTS FC 25 Review: Evolution Not Revolution, But Why Change A Winning Formula?
Some things are inevitable in soccer: VAR will generate more anger than its benefits, Erling Haaland will score, and EA Sports' annual game releases will fine tune an already excellent product. EA Sports FC 25 is the latest addition to the 30-year-old series (let's face it, last year's FIFA rebirth was a rebrand in name only), and once again, you get the feel of Pep Guardiola tweaking things, rather than a Director of Football trying to change the culture.
Every year, EA Sports promises changes, and while the level of evolution will never match some players' calls to action, FC 25 does come with some comparatively sizable changes. Moving a battleship takes a lot, and FC 25 is an admirable attempt to add enough to make things feel fresh. There is no need to refurbish, just as the great soccer dynasties don't throw out great squads just because it's a new season.
EA Sports are not about radical experimentation, and it should come as no surprise that the changes made to this year's chapter of the soccer dynasty are focused on refinement. FC 25 has better AI, a more complex and rewarding tactical system, a genuinely exciting new game mode, and the chance to spend an extraordinary amount of money on Ultimate Team. Same as it ever was.
FC 25 Is About Refinement Not Radical Change (As Usual)
EA Sports Have Tuned Things Up

If you played FC 24, you're not going to get too many shocks in the gameplay of FC 25. It's just not that sort of franchise, and there's really not a steep learning curve for established players in the most played game modes. That might inspire the usual cynicism about how little things have changed, but it's an inspired move from a brand familiarity point of view. I've played for years, and I have no desire to have to relearn. Instead, the education requirements come more subtly or off to the side.
There are some relatively substantial changes, though, including the introduction of women's teams to Career Mode, and the ability to start a career at different points. The AI tune-up requires its own section, as does new mode Rush, but in terms of the impact on gameplay, there is a noticeable change in a couple of very specific ways. The rate of pass interceptions is higher, so pinged passes are more essential; the game feels more physical and marginally slower; rebounds also feel more random, and will likely to lead to more goals. They're all tune-ups in realism, which is not a negative.

Passing intelligence has also been overhauled, making it far more complex, in an attempt to introduce personality as an influence and reflect a more realistic experience. It's frustrating, but does feel more true to life. Bad weather also has tangible impact on play, which is fair, but again, will take some getting used to.

Even more specifically, EA Sports have - at least partly - addressed the issue of monster strikers in Pro Clubs. The last two years have been dominated by playing a 6'7" giant up front, and switching out wide for crosses; a tactic that proved almost impossible to defend against. The maximum height now for created players is 6'5", which feels immediately like closing off an exploit.

In 2019, game mode Volta was EA Sports' attempt to simplify soccer and adopt free-flowing and more accessible small sided games. It was the replacement for FIFA Street that fans of that unfairly canceled subfranchise had wanted since 2012, but it never really worked because it wasn't FIFA Street. It was too realistic, too lacking in fun, and somewhat inevitably。
