FC 25 is the latest edition of the popular football game series, and I'm excited to share my honest opinion on the game. With EA separating from FIFA last year, this is their second game without the FIFA license, and expectations are high. But does FC 25 live up to the hype?
Tactics Menu: The Biggest Change?
One of the most significant changes in FC 25 is the tactics menu. According to EA, this feature is designed to change the game completely. However, in my opinion, it doesn't quite live up to the promise. The tactics menu is overly complicated, with too many options and controls. It's like trying to navigate a dense forest without a map.
The player roles feature is a step in the right direction, but it's not as game-changing as EA claims. With over 50 new player roles, you can assign different roles to each player, depending on their position and playstyle. However, the impact of these roles on the gameplay is minimal, and it's hard to notice any significant difference.
Gameplay: More of the Same?
The gameplay in FC 25 is surprisingly similar to FC 24. The passing is more difficult, and the game feels slower overall. The hyper motion technology is still present, but it's not as effective as it was in previous games. The game feels like a carbon copy of FC 24, with minor tweaks and changes.
Rush: A New Game Mode
Rush is a new 5v5 game mode that replaces Volta. It's a decent addition to the game, but it feels like a glorified version of Volta. The gameplay is fast-paced, and the new stadium is visually impressive. However, the pitch feels too big, and the game mode is not as exciting as I expected.
FC 25 is a complicated game with high expectations. While it's not a bad game, it's not as revolutionary as EA claims. The tactics menu is overly complicated, and the gameplay is too similar to FC 24. Rush is a decent addition, but it's not enough to make the game stand out.
Overall, I would give FC 25 a rating of 6.5/10. It's a decent game, but it's not worth the hype. If you're a die-hard football fan, you might enjoy it, but for casual players, there are better options available.
