To win in EA Sports FC 25, you need more than just a flawless tactic. It’s also important to master the various new features, especially compared to the previous FC 24, EA has added a lot of new features in the upcoming update to improve the player’s gaming experience.
So, in this guide, we will introduce three key new features to help your team compete with the world’s top teams!
FC IQ
First of all, FC IQ introduced in EA FC 25 has completely revamped the game’s tactical system, in which team tactics, player roles and in-game intelligent tactics give you more control than ever before about how your team moves and plays.
So, success in FC is no longer just about putting the best players in a certain position, but putting the right players in the system you want to run. You can focus on improving only one player who is the most suitable, instead of always investing in the best players and avoiding wasting more of your hard-earned EA FC 25 Coins.
With FC IQ, team tactics are modernized at both ends of the pitch, making your teammates smarter both on and off the ball.
What’s exciting to us this year is that FC IQ can be used to easily emulate your favorite tactics. For example, you can set your team to a more fluid, balanced formation, rather than just the traditional 4-4-2.
Because a 4-4-2 formation can feel static or chaotic, you can set your team to a more balanced formation that alternates between a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1, which is close to what Ancelotti saw when he coached Madrid. And as you know, Real Madrid has always dominated. It’s really special!
FC IQ is also fundamental to the gameplay of all modes, making team tactics and individual player roles key to your team’s success. FC IQ will also affect core systems in Career Mode related to Transfers, Scouting, and Youth Academy, meaning that team building and development goes far beyond OVR.
In the club, the biggest impact of FC IQ is in customizing team tactics. Club managers and lobby captains will be able to select, create and customize tactics, and choose player roles for their teams. These tactics will affect AI behavior, which has been a challenge for clubs in the past.
FC IQ gives players more control over how their team is set up, but most importantly, they can control how their AI teammates play and how they position themselves. This means that even if you are just a single player, you can lead your team to better implement your best tactics and win!
Player Roles
In addition, the developers finally realized that they can’t just update team tactics to make the game feel real. It also depends on the players being used appropriately in the system, which is perhaps why they introduced Player Roles to FIFA 25.
EA Sports has also built an out-of-game AI model to help you determine which Player Roles are suitable for players in FC. Choosing the right role means you can unleash players in new ways, and each role can have multiple focuses. A “+” or “++” means that the player is either highly accomplished or world-class in a specific Player Role. This means you can assign the appropriate role to suit the player and your strategy.
To give you an idea of how your team is playing, you can view player activity maps, detailed descriptions of each Player Role, dynamic summaries of tactics, and even how your team is performing with and without the ball. And, when you need it, the game will provide in-game tactical advice based on the current match situation.
You can even change your team’s tactics and focus using D-pad. If you find the best tactics for you, you can also try out tactic-specific codes and share them with your friends.
Goalkeeper PlayStyles
FUT 25 is a world-class football simulation in every sense of the word. Not only have they used volumetric capture to get more real-world moments and bring them into the virtual world, but FC 25 also provides players with real moves, real goals, real play styles, and of course, real celebrations for over 19,000 players and teams.
PlayStyles were a tremendous success in the game last year, and EA is building on that success. In FC 25, they are adding new Goalkeeper PlayStyles to the game! Plus, there’s a lot more to get excited about, including new Skill Moves, professional fouls, visual enhancements to overlays, full-body AI mimicry, real moves, and more.
In short, mastering these new features will help you develop the best tactics that are more suitable for your team and lead your club to the top.
