New features such as Rush mode, FC IQ, and Player Roles enhance gameplay, offering players more control over team dynamics.

FC IQ introduces tactical customization and player role assignments, which enhance strategic gameplay for more experienced players.

While the gameplay retains much of its predecessor's core mechanics, it features a slightly slower pace and improved control over player movements.

The graphics have seen improvements with lifelike animations, although the user interface has been criticized for requiring significant enhancements.

This release marks the second since EA ended its partnership with FIFA, introducing a fresh naming scheme for the series.

EA Sports FC 25, the latest installment in the football video game franchise, is now available on multiple platforms including PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Career Mode has been updated to include more lenient board expectations and a social media feature that mimics real-life sports news.

Overall, FC 25 is regarded as a compelling football simulation that provides a fresh experience, especially with its new gameplay modes.

Rush mode has received particular praise for its addictive nature, allowing players to engage in five-a-side matches both online and locally.

Despite these positive changes, the game continues to face criticism for its 'pay-to-win' mechanics in Ultimate Team and persistent technical glitches.
