EA Sports has officially announced this year's edition of its football series with a focus on tactical innovations and the introduction of Rush mode.
EA Sports FC 25 will arrive on September 27 for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S platforms, it has now been officially confirmed. Here's what's new for this year's edition of the popular football series.
Instead of the previous Volta mode, EA introduced a slightly different version of "small football". It's called Rush Mode and it's played with slightly different rules.
Rush Mode
The format is exclusively 5 on 5, and it is played on a reduced version of real playing fields, with the dimensions of classic goals. Play from a break (out, corner) is included, and there are also some specific rules such as a blue card that temporarily excludes a player.
The beginning of the game is also specific and two teams compete to be the first to run to the ball (like in Rocket League). Rush Mode will be implemented in Kick-Off, Clubs and Football Ultimate Team modes.
FC IQ and Tactics
The tactical segment of the game is finally getting a major redesign. Expect more flexible player rolls on the field that affect the fluidity and decision making of player movement.
When determining the tactics, it will be possible to use a much larger number of templates and the adjustment will be made with a slider on a scale of 1-99. It will also be possible to share your tactics with other players within the game itself via codes.
From now on, all football players will have an additional and deeper element of knowing the position they play in, which will significantly affect their performance, similar to the Football Manager series.
Other features:
- "Professional foul" is introduced with the combination of keys R1+X / RB+A, which serves to stop the player before the counterattack, but always results in a yellow card.
- Five new feints have been introduced, including a heel pass when keeping an opponent on their back.
- PlayStyles features will now be extended to goalkeepers with a total of six features.
- From now on, it will be possible to make multiple substitutions during gameplay without interruption, i.e. entering menus.
For the first time on consoles, EA Sports FC will have two performance modes – one with improved visuals and the other with a higher resolution. Both modes of execution will go to 60 fps, with the fact that the mode with nicer graphics will include raytracing, cloth simulation, improved shadows and more.
