FC 25 not only introduces real-life tactics and situations and Live Start Points, but also adds Player Career with Icons. More importantly, they also introduce Women’s Football to Career Mode, and players can create more possibilities for Ultimate Team.
In this guide, we will detail some of the changes and new gameplay in Career Mode in EA Sports FC 25 in the future. If you want to quickly lead your club to glory after entering the game, then don’t miss this guide.
Live Start Points
FC 25 marks the arrival of a new era for Manager and Player Career. Players will be able to experience actual stories from the world’s biggest leagues through Live Start Points. This is also the biggest update EA has added to Career Mode in many years.
Beyond that, in FUT 25 you can experience the drama of a real-world season for any team. Starting from where your team or player left off that week, you’ll have to deal with league standings, fixtures, injuries and transfers.
Alternatively, you can choose to start from any special Snapshot moment, a carefully curated starting point based on news for a specific club, whether it’s a manager being sacked, a major transfer, a team’s performance or more. This is a big test of your Career and team management abilities, so it’s wise to have plenty of FC 25 Coins for sale ready!
FC IQ
We’ve also received a host of new updates in Manager mode, powered by FC IQ, including Team Tactics and Player Roles. Player Roles add a dimension to tactics beyond player position and drive success in Career Mode more than ever before, both on and off the pitch.
Choosing the right Player Roles is a key factor in the synergy between mechanics like player development, staffing, scouting, training and coaching. It helps to facilitate and influence player and team cohesion. So don’t be stingy about investing more EA FC 25 Coins in your roles.
What’s more, the developers have finally listened to the community’s feedback on press conferences, and their strong request for only asking players a few questions in a hurry has also been implemented in FC 25. The developers have tried to change the way they work by using FC IQ.
To make them more dynamic, reporters will ask specific questions about your tactical choices, your players and their roles. Your answers will affect the updated Morale System, so managers must find the right balance between criticism and praise.
Youth Academy
Youth Academy has also received some updates in EA FC 25. They started by expanding the list of countries you can send your youth scouts to. Of course, once you have identified the next big thing, you have to develop their talents. That’s why they have integrated Rush 5v5 Matches into Youth Academy.
By participating in Rush Matches, managers can actively promote youth development over 3 games. Once you win the final and get the maximum boost, the next new star will rise, and they will help you get closer to your dream of making the first team. With this mechanic, you can watch your youth players grow up quickly.
Simulation Mode
They have also added a long-requested feature to Career Mode: Simulation Mode. With it enabled, teams will adopt a more deliberate style of play, closer to what you would see in real-world football. Taking it a step further, EA has also developed a Dynamic Simulation setting that changes every aspect of AI’s play in every game.
Player Career
There have also been some really exciting changes to Player Career. Now you can drop existing Icons into any team of your choice and see them perform with today’s players. We are really excited about this as it opens up a lot of new opportunities to develop your Career, and as the game progresses there will be different sets of Icons for players to choose from. This means that as long as you have enough FUT 25 Coins, you can even assemble the best players in the world and dominate the pitch!
Various Storylines
In football simulation games, a good storyline is key. In EA FC 25, players have more flexibility when setting up the story of their Player Career.
Storylines have expanded to include classic rags-to-riches stories, following in your parents’ footsteps, or recovering from a career-threatening injury. The story you choose will have consequences of and off the pitch, from sparking reactions on social media to influencing gameplay attributes and PlayStyles.
Introducing Women’s Football
To further EA’s commitment to representing Women’s Football in FC, in FC 25 they are bringing the world’s five major women’s leagues to both Manager and Player Career.
In Manager Career, managers can freely move between managing men’s and women’s teams, while in Player Career they can play for any of the top clubs.
Finally, across both modes, the developers have added a new visual system that makes the user interface cleaner and more streamlined. A new list of suggested tasks can help players make the next important decision.
And of course, there’s social media in FC 25. The game is now powered by some of the biggest news outlets in football, such as Fabrizio Romano, who will keep you up to date with the latest transfer news. Regardless of your performance, you’ll get feedback to help you take your career to the next level!
That’s all the new content for Career Mode in FC 25. Now, what do you plan to do for your club to take everyone to the top? See you on the pitch!
