EA FC 25: The most important information about the Gameplay Refresh Update
We have summarised the most important points from the major FiFa update for you.
EA surprised its fans last week with a huge update, the changes to which were based primarily on feedback from the community. This is the most comprehensive gameplay overhaul in the middle of a season to date and promises more precise passes, more intelligent attacks and more authentic reactions from the goalkeeper.
However, if you don't have the time or inclination to read the almost 2000 words long Wall of Text which describes all 50 changes in detail, we have summarised the most important points of the update for you here:
Behaviour of defenders
Defenders not only go on the counter-attack more purposefully, they also pass the ball to team-mates in a more controlled manner. Improving their handling results in a more stable performance in defence, which also allows players to return to a ready position more quickly and generally act with more foresight.
Movement in attack
The movement of the attackers was also optimised through more intelligent positioning and the avoidance of offside situations. This makes their attacking play not only more effective but also much more dynamic.
Teamwork in attack
The interactions between the players have been improved so that attackers no longer unnecessarily block the paths of their team-mates and they act much more fluidly within attacking areas.
Ball transfer and passing
The passing game is now also much more dynamic. In addition to the much quicker and more precise passes on the ground - especially with short passes to free players - the efficiency of steep passes is also significantly increased, while the effect of first passes is reduced. In order to create a more realistic feeling, the precision of headers in contested situations has also been slightly reduced.
Control and fluidity
With an overall smoother game and easier ball control, a more dynamic game has been created, which has been further improved by creating a more appropriate balance between player skills and AI, as the AI influence in defence has also been reduced.
Improved gameplay?
Experienced players know that every update in EA FC has its advantages and disadvantages, but they also know that even small changes can have a big impact, possibly even creating a whole new meta.
However, it will only be possible to say which direction the update will really take in the near future, once players have got used to the changes and fully absorbed them.
