EA FC 25 is finally here – well, sort of. I've had the chance to get hands-on with an early preview build of the new game for the first time, but my first impressions of EA FC 25 left me with more questions than answers.

After going solo for the first time with EA FC 24, EA Sports will launch the newest instalment of the EA Sports FC game series in the next few months, EA FC 25. Players were desperate to see big gameplay updates in EA FC 24 after some underwhelming FIFA game releases, and changes were made, with HyperMotion V and PlayStyles both being added.

EA has announced that, for EA FC 25, another pillar of its gameplay innovation will be added called FC IQ. The new addition has seen tactics overhauled in EA FC 25, with the publisher claiming it will 'shake up the meta'. Well, I was able to put this to the test and get a hands-on experience of what EA FC 25's gameplay felt like.

    The one thing they never fix is the weird player mechanics. They never feel connected to the pitch, it feels like they are skating and it ruins the experience for me. We really need 2k games to nail fifa when they release it because it will shake ea out of their comfort zone.
  • @iamrkxi
    if you keep buying the game, nothing will change
  • I'm so sick of players looking like Fortnite characters and these bs cgi trailers

    My problem with FIFA/FC is player movement animation. It’s not football at all. When most basic & fundamental thing is bad, nothing else matters (no licenses, no modes or graphics). Sadly it won’t be fixed with this old engine. So we will keep getting same game over and over.
  • @Azeral7
    No wonder why they're showing barely showing gameplay at the last minute.
  • @OurLou
    Thanks for the honesty, another wait for sale then or skip it entirely
  • @iSaifaj
    I just want a normal football game, no rush no Volta and that shit just use the budget to have better movements and mechanics
  • Thank u for telling the truth, I’ve watched other streamers and they just ea mouthpieces, if the crazy team press is still a thing it’s game over for me
  • @rustyhalo4481
    Bought FC24 and found SPFL 24 a few months later. Now, I rarely play FC24 upon discovering a free alternative that offers more than what EA and Konami can these years.
  • @taven580
    Same game, different name, new year.
  • @ricky6539
    The fact that they’re pushing this rush shite. A mode EA know no ones gonna care about after day 1 is hilarious
  • Player roles has been a thing for years, and never worked either. FC24 was even worse for this because you’d tell your CM to stay central or your CF and they still drifted out wide
  • @treytoomuch
    sounds like they are just improving minor aspects of the game and then repackaging it as new modes etc - Volta and Rush sound like the same thing, players roles and FCIQ
  • How is the attacking ai? Are players trying to get open, making runs, coming with you as you progress the ball or is it more like the past few fifa's where they just stand still and don't do anything to help you out. Also how did the CPU play? One of my biggest probkems with the way the CPU played against you in fc24 was how much they passed backwards. They weren't direct at all and were constantly just passing backwards and making no real intent to score. It's the only fifa game where the cpu plays like that
  • @zack2396tube
    According to trailer apparently EA know how football games should look, play & feel. But why working hard if people will pay 100-150 euros for effortless game.

    The point you made with the game being slower is the case in every new FIFA game release. We are used to 99 pace players now in the end-game so playing a new game in which we are using players with 80 pace feels slower. It will become the same shitshow we have right now in 3-4 months.
