EA Sports FC 25 brings new features compared to its predecessor, but the big question still hangs in the air: is it worth upgrading now or is it just another version with one-off changes and a full price? The answer depends on what kind of gamer you are - and what you expect from the game.

If you play casually, especially online, perhaps the changes don't justify an immediate switch. But if you enjoy the career mode, miss the gameplay improvements or like to keep up with Ultimate Team news from the start, the upgrade makes more sense.

Below, we'll explore what's really changed - and what's still the same.

What has changed in EA Sports FC 25?

EA Sports has opted for refinements. It's not a complete revolution, but a a series of small advances which make the experience more fluid, with the appearance of a more "thought-out" game. The main changes include:

  • Improved ball physics and collisions between players
  • Smarter AIin both defense and attack
  • More realistic animationsespecially when it comes to finishing
  • Changes to the passing systemwith more variation and realistic weight
  • Updating stadium graphics and uniforms
  • New customization options in offline modes

In addition, FC 25 continues the process of distancing itself from the FIFA brand, with a more solid visual identity and redesigned menus.

And what remains the same?

Some old problems still persist:

  • Slow menus on older consoles
  • Confusing arbitrationwith fouls that make no sense
  • Unintuitive penalties and corners
  • Pro Clubs mode with few significant changes
  • Some reused animations from previous versions

In other words, EA is updating, but it hasn't yet delivered the big turnaround that many have been waiting for since the split from FIFA.

Ultimate Team: more of the same or a new lease of life?

O Ultimate Team remains the game's flagship. And, as always, EA has introduced new mechanics to keep players engaged:

  • Letters with dynamic statisticswhich change according to the actual athlete's performance
  • Greater focus on diversity of women's and mixed leagues
  • More flexible networking system
  • New weekly challenges and daily rewards

For those tired of the endless grind, FC 25 tries to offer alternative ways to build good teams - but it still requires time (or money) to compete with those who invest heavily in FPs.

What about career mode, has it been improved?

Yes, career mode was one of the areas that received the most attention. Now there is:

  • Assistant coach systemwho suggest line-ups based on playing style
  • Negotiations with more optionsincluding specific contract clauses
  • More detailed monitoring of player development
  • New cast management interface

For those who play offline and like to create a story within the game, EA Sports FC 25 offers more immersive tools. It's not a totally new mode, but it's come on in leaps and bounds.

Is the gameplay really better?

This is the point that most divides opinion. FC 25's gameplay is slower and more cadenced than in FC 24. The touch of the ball has become heavier, the dribbling more difficult, and the defense more organized.

Some players will love this more tactical approach. Others will miss the rush and fast pace of the previous version.

If you like to construct moves, pass calmly and exploit positioning, you'll adapt well. But if you prefer a fast-paced game, with bursts of pace and lots of goals, you might find it a little strange in the first few matches.

What about the version for old consoles?

EA has kept versions for PS4 and Xbox One, but with limited resources. Some visual and AI improvements are only available on new generation consoles (PS5, Xbox Series) and PC.

On older devices, the game runs well, but the menus are more jerky and the animations a little less smooth. If you haven't yet migrated to the new generation, upgrading to FC 25 is less worthwhile - unless you play Ultimate Team often.

Price and early access: is it worth the investment?

O EA Sports FC 25 arrives at full price: R$349 for the standard version and R$499 for the Ultimate version. EA is offering 7-day early access for those who subscribe to EA Play or buy the more expensive version.

Is it worth it? Only if you want to play from day one, team up with the Ultimate Team and enjoy every event. For casual players, it might be worth waiting for a promotion.

So... is it really worth the upgrade?

If you:

  • You're a fan of Ultimate Team and want to start from the beginning
  • Plays career often and likes new features
  • You have a new generation console and want better graphics performance
  • Likes to follow the community and events online

Yes, the EA Sports FC 25 is worth the upgrade. It brings discreet but consistent improvements.

Now, if you:

  • Plays occasionally with friends
  • Don't like online mode
  • Are you happy with FC 24 running well on your current console?
  • Wait for more drastic changes before paying again

So maybe it's better to wait. The game isn't a revolution - it's a good evolution.
