About this game
EA SPORTS FC™ 25 combines football matches with choices about how a team should play. Rush offers a five-a-side format in Ultimate Team, Clubs and Kick-Off, while FC IQ's Player Roles influence how footballers behave away from the ball. Rush lessons and match objectives provide a way to learn the format. For a continuing team or individual journey, Manager and Player Career include women's football, and Manager Career brings Youth Academy players into playable Rush tournaments. The Switch edition supports local cooperative or one-on-one matches with a pair of Joy-Con split between players. In handheld mode, touchscreen pinch-to-zoom provides another way to inspect the screen.
Collected in series
