EA SPORTS FC 25 introduces gameplay innovations in the first trailer and reveals further details.
Electronic Arts unveils the next chapter in world football with EA SPORTS FC 25, launching September 27, 2024.
EA SPORTS FC continues to build on the world’s largest football platform with a host of innovations led by Rush and FC IQ to deliver the most authentic experience yet.
The EA SPORTS FC 25 trailer below also makes its big debut, showcasing the world-renowned footballing skills of cover star Jude Bellingham in the game’s Frostbite Engine.
“With EA SPORTS FC 25, we are reinforcing our vision of a fan-centric future of football and redefining what’s possible on the pitch with FC IQ. We’re using AI and real-world data to modernize player tactics and improve the performance of HyperMotionV and PlayStyles,” said Nick Wlodyka, SVP and Group GM, EA SPORTS FC. “We’re offering our fans innovative ways to play with Rush, our most engaging gaming experience yet, and continuing the authentic representation of world football with the introduction of women’s football in Career Mode.”
EA SPORTS FC 25 introduces Rush, a new 5v5 experience that uses the same game controls and soccer-like mechanics as the 11v11 matches.
Rush is available in Football Ultimate Team, Clubs and Kick Off. The new mode sees you team up as a party of four players and take to the pitch with an AI-controlled goalkeeper. A single-player experience in the Manager Career, Rush lets fans control the development of their youth academy throughout the season with new playable 5v5 tournaments.
FC IQ introduces an overhaul of the tactical fundamentals in every 11v11 match by offering greater strategic control, while a new AI model based on real-world data from some of the best teams in football influences players’ tactics through new player roles.
An overhaul of team tactics and more realistic collective movements modernize positioning on the pitch, change the way each team plays – based on their real-life playing style – and provide more variety from game to game.
In Career Mode, live starting points put fans at the center of the biggest events in the world of football, such as the takeover of a club after the first half of a season or a change of manager.
Additionally, this year will see the first inclusion of women’s football in Career Mode, achieving parity with men’s football across all game modes and furthering EA SPORTS FC’s commitment to growing the women’s game.
