EA FC 25: Career Mode Will Add New Features! - Features Overview

Are EA players waiting for the official release of FC 25? Some time ago, EA officially announced that FC 25 is scheduled to be officially released on September 27, 2024. So far, a lot of information about many games has been announced, but the most concerned by players is Career Mode.

And Career Mode in this new game has added many new features, including scouts, tactical settings, customization, and more in the game. EA has publicly stated that most of these changes come from ideas in the player community. These changes will expand this Career Mode for mid-level managers and players in the game. This guide will introduce you to some of the new features in FC 25 Career Mode so you can prepare!

Women’s Career Mode

With the addition of women players in FC 24 Ultimate Team, players have been looking forward to whether they will see the same in FC 25. Obviously, the answer is right. FC 25 gives you access to players and teams from the five most popular women’s football leagues on the field, which means you can use these “Field Roses” to enhance your Ultimate Team.

The leagues currently announced for you to play in the game are Women’s Super League, NWSL, D1 Arkemma, Liga F and Frauen-Bundesliga. In addition, UWCL will also appear in Career Mode, so you can lead your team to European glory.

FC IQ

FC 25 has added some much-needed tactical changes - Player Roles and Team Tactics, so that you can use Work Rates and Player Instructions. These fall under the purview of FC IQ, but it’s important to note that although it will appear in all game modes, it is most suitable for Career Mode.

With this new system, you can assign different roles to players and create custom tactical setups more effectively. For example, if you want to play a standard 4-3-3 formation, which requires your CDM to move into defense, you can assign your players to the center back position.

Similarly, if you need to strengthen the midfield defense, you can also have your midfielders play higher up the pitch using the half-winger position like a senior number 8. However, it is important to note that the success of your players in these positions depends on their familiarity with the position.

If they are not proficient enough, you can spend some FC 25 Coins to hire a coach who fits your team’s tactical vision to help them improve their attributes.

Live Start Points

The most interesting part of Career Mode is Live Start Points, which will start a new game based on your real-life season. These starting points will be updated once a week, and the main data will be taken from Premier League, LaLiga and Ligue 1. It will include league rankings, results, transfers, statistics, suspensions and other data.

For example, the newly emerging Ipswich won the championship in GW4, so you will take over the team at their peak and try to lead them to glory again. However, if Everton is currently in a relegation crisis, you will also take over at this low point and find a way to get them out of the misery.

Live Start Points will help you discover more of the most promising teams or players in the world of football, and the ending of each story is entirely up to you. Unfortunately, Live Start Points will not be enabled at the official launch, but will be added as a patch in the future. We can look forward to it together!

Icons Cards In Player Career

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you were the icon in the football world? Don’t just dream, FC 25’s Player Career Mode will make this idea come true for you! You can play as your favorite idol in the game, and have all the statistics, game styles, and player positions of these idols.

You can play as your favorite idol, choose a club you like, and finally create a history that is exclusive to you. This feeling is simply great! As of now, Andrea Pirlo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Kelly Smith, and Thierry Henry will appear in the normal Career Mode. David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and Ronaldo will appear in Ultimate Edition.

Youth Academy Revamp

There were a lot of issues with Youth system in FC 24, but this will no longer be the case in FC 25. You can send your scouts to 160 countries to search for outstanding young players in various countries.

In addition to this new feature, you can also ask scouts to look for up to four positions and three focus positions. This will greatly reduce FC 25 Coins you spend on scouting, while still finding some excellent players for you.

As for young players, you can now directly participate in their development instead of just renting them out for a season as before. This is done through the new Rush Mode integrated into manager and player careers. You can also hold a tournament every two months and let your young players play 5v5 games. This way you can very intuitively understand their current overall rating and subsequent maximum potential rating to decide whether to invest a lot of money in their development in the future.

Player Origins

As the name suggests, with the addition of Player Origins in the game, you can learn about the background stories of this player, which will shape the personality of this player and are closely related to his strengths or challenges.

Player Origins includes Clean Slate, Great Expectations, Climb to the Top and Return to Glory sections. You can also create your own story by clicking on Custom Start option. You can freely choose the age, skill level and personality type of the players. This will help you more effectively control the development of a particular player.

These are some of the new changes in FC 25 Career Mode. We look forward to seeing you on the field on September 27th! Have fun playing!
