They even have the hesitancy of the child mascots as they unassuredly leave the pitch in union.

The shirt movement isn't realistic. I see the shirts move as if the fabric is made of some elastic rubber. I think they exaggerated with the shirt movement

As an offline player, career mode is surprisingly good with all the updates EA have made this year. Imo this is the closest we've come to the highs of Pes 21. Time will tell if it surpasses that. FL doesn't do it for me anymore.

I mean. If you want a proper manager mode... the only game you can play is EA FC.

Efootball gameplay is the best, but come on 1 or 2 three game tournaments every Monday and Thursday and divisions has become so boring with the endless production line of cards it’s become more like a panini card game than a football game we just need more modes

I mean EA Fc has everything except the gameplay, where efootball has nothing except the gameplay. 🤓

"If you're wondering why it's quiet." Not really, its the Etihad.

The thing about EA FC is that when you purchase it for 59 dollars, you know what you are getting. And that is because the publisher and developers know what they are going for. They are going for an arcade quick game, that is meant to be played multiplayer, where you collect the best cards to build the best team, and grind the divisions, and collect the reward in the weekend. And all of that is packaged in a slick and modern package, that contains stunning visuals and amazing menus, which respects the 59 dollars that you paid. And EA FC puts eFootball to shame in this aspect. eFootball gives way better gameplay, but also a gameplay with a lot of issues, and that's it. EA FC is not going for realism, they are going for arcade quick play, that's meant to be played with friends or online, and they are clear about that. And eFootball is the complete opposite of that. They change the gameplay and the gameplay speed almost every season, they rely on horrid menus, and the they use horrible looking cutscenes and celebrations, and they rarely update anything, and to date, eFootball still feels like a lifeless prototype. The community has been complaining about the menus, the input delay that still reaches 31ms at times, the turf, the graphics, master league, modes...etc, and Konami literally gave us the middle finger with eFootball 2025, where they gave us the same sh*, just with a different name, new cards, and an apology from the admin.

Am I the only one who notices how EA FC players most of the time, during their runs, mostly when they run in possession, their steps are not relative to their speed. You'll find a player with slow feet movement, but high speed. It doesn't always happen, but if you really pay attention you'll see it. It is probably why players feel like they are floating when you dribble with the left analog, they turn so fast, its like the ground is glass and they are wearing socks, it doesn't feel real at all. I don't know if I am making sense, but this is the only reason I prefer Konami Efootball over EA FC when it comes to gameplay.

I've been waiting for this Spoony.

My verdict. I find it slower than 24 and seems to have a little more controll over the players which i like. Graphically I don't see that much of a difference but the shadows and lighting have improved very well. The crowds are incredible with the chants as usual. Passing is good, very good in fact, probably the best its ever been. I aslo like that you can't just walk through a defence as well. Presentation is on point and the player animations have improved I find. The shape of the teams are also very very good especially the line of defence. I found it very easy tonget away from a defender in FC 24 and it seems much better for the defender this time round, I like that they're much more organised. Out of 10, I'd give this a 7 so far. Lets see what the updates bring

EA every year checklist:
1. Football with bowling balls ✅

[abarakadavr]

You know, I'm watching this and I still have that feeling that it's plastic toys moving on green texture. It's still almost same fifa17 but with new lights. That's it.

[FanDee]

Of course it's worth playing over efootball, there is nothing to do in efootball! And I'm a long time PES man, but I will definitely be buying FC25.

[trugaminglegend]

The bottle line is, if you like online pvp play eafc 25, as there is no scripting on your input command. unlike efootball, which is heavily scripted online.
And if you like offline mode, just play efootball 2025 as you can manage the scripting against the AI

[leroymsiza]

I love the presentation and atmosphere but I just wish they could change the commentary teams

[richardstartin]

If EA could get the weight of ball right the game would feel pretty good.

[adrianmark]

The best sliders for me has been copying simulation settings but knocking pass speed down to 25-30. Makes a big difference as it cuts down on the occurrence of balls zipping a 100km/h at times. Even with that being said, I really really like the simulation gameplay this year. I can definitely understand the argument of "why would you want it to be super realistic and slow" and the gameplay this year has really found the perfect balance of it. The game is slow in tempo but can ramp up, and for once, keepers are actually decent. They catch what theyre supposed to, make great saves, and in general you just don't feel like there's much more that could be done about it. I know mods will eventually come but out of box this was a really nice surprise

Hello guys!!!! This year Fc with simulation mode is really good!!! But only on simulation mode!!!

[makize]

The best description of this year Soulless game !!! BRAVO

[bflvr]

I played simulation mode on Xbox One (don’t have next gen yet) and I reckon most people would prefer it to the next gen gameplay
