The next instalment of EA SPORTS’ landmark football franchise will have a raft of new features in Pro Clubs mode – and many of them could answer fans’ prayers.
The official trailer for the brand new game dropped on Tuesday, with Real Madrid and England international and cover star Jude Bellingham heavily featured throughout.
The game is poised for a release date of September 27, though players who have early access will be able to play it seven days earlier, and little over a month after the new Premier League season has commenced.
The franchise was previously known as FIFA, with the final game under that name being FIFA 23, and the long-term licensing agreement concluding at the end of 2022.
Nick Wlodyka, SVP and Group GM, EA SPORTS FC, said: “With EA SPORTS FC 25, we’re strengthening our vision of a fan-first future for football and redefining what’s possible on the pitch with FC IQ, using AI and real-world data to modernize player tactics and complement the power of HyperMotionV and PlayStyles.
“We’re bringing our fans innovative ways to play with Rush, our most social and engaging experience we’ve ever created, and continuing to craft an authentic representation of the world’s game with the introduction of women’s football into Career Mode.”
An Ultimate Edition of the game is also on offer, which gives players the chance to play as legends including Ronaldo Nazario, Zinedine Zidane, and David Beckham.
The game has many features and game modes, and the Pro Clubs section is one which have had a raft of changes announced for the upcoming release – with many likely to go down well with fans.
Relegation matches have returned, getting rid of a play-off system which proved to be unpopular, and meaning simple promotions and relegations are back.
A clubhouse will replace the static menu which was in place, which means it will be more interactive and will dressing room vibes on offer.
In the rush aspect of the game, players will be able to play for their pro’s and their club’s progress.
And the shortcut menu will be similar to that of Ultimate Team.
In other features to the game, further new additions include being able to play an authentic Women’s Career experience, Live Start points, the introduction of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and a revamped youth academy.
