EA Sports FC 25

"EA SPORTS has introduced FC IQ to EA SPORTS FC 25 that aims to overhaul the gameplay and add strategy to building teams and approaching game day."

"While FC IQ has elevated the on-pitch experience somewhat, off the pitch FC 25 hasn&s;t really changed at al since last yearl. It&s;s all a bit stagnant, in truth. If EA Sports FC 25 were a football stadium, it&s;d be …"

"With an overhauled tactics system and a thrilling new mode, EA FC 25 makes some positive steps forward that are unfortunately tempered by long-standing issues and a lack of improvements elsewhere."

"EA Sports FC 25 delivers a few bright spots, like the fun and refreshing Rush mode, but stagnating gameplay and incremental improvements leave it feeling like EA continues to play it too safe."

"Overall, the evolution is positive, but the single year development cycle is really hard to ignore with all the little issues and frustrations that the game shipped with. The menus are bad and there are far too many bugs in …"
