One of the long-time fastest players in the series is Moussa Diaby, who now plies his trade in the Saudi Arabian League. This increases the value of him as a player if you are competing in Ultimate Team. However, his 95-pace stat means he is not only one of the fastest players in EA Sports FC 25 but also one of the most valuable across all the different game modes . While his default position is as a right midfielder, he can also play right wing, attacking midfield, and as a striker, making him a very versatile player to add to your c

Adebayo Akinfenwa may look out of place compared to some others on this list, but the Beast is definitely an icon when it comes to FIFA . In every edition of the game, the English striker was the strongest player of the game , a feat which he embraced himself on social me

While his younger brother Niko was leading Spain to glory at this year's European Championships, veteran Inaki Williams led the sibling's competition for pace in EA Sports FC 25. Williams has long been a choice in many players' starter Ultimate Teams, as he has the combination of being incredibly fast whilst also being cheap to pick up on the Transfer Market. He keeps a 94-pace stat along with 85 strength, making him a dual threat . While his finishing and shooting stats could be higher, his pace will get him into positions to score, giving you many opportunities when using Willi

EA SPORTS has introduced FC IQ to EA SPORTS FC 25 that aims to overhaul the gameplay and add strategy to building teams and approaching game day. Along with this, another major addition is a completely new game mode with Rush, which minimizes the teams to a 5v5 setup for both offline and online options. While VOLTA has seemingly taken a back seat this year (even though it is technically still in the game), shoring up the gameplay experience in both 11v11 and the new Rush mode is clearly evident and pays off. This may be EA SPORTS best soccer/football game to date thanks to these updates.

If you played FC 24 , you're not going to get too many shocks in the gameplay of FC 25 . It's just not that sort of franchise, and there's really not a steep learning curve for established players in the most played game modes. That might inspire the usual cynicism about how little things have changed, but it's an inspired move from a brand familiarity point of view. I've played for years, and I have no desire to have to relearn. Instead, the education requirements come more subtly or off to the s

EA Sports are not about radical experimentation, and it should come as no surprise that the changes made to this year's chapter of the soccer dynasty are focused on refinement. FC 25 has better AI, a more complex and rewarding tactical system, a genuinely exciting new game mode, and the chance to spend an extraordinary amount of money on Ultimate Team. Same as it ever

If added to EA Sports FC 25 , his pace would be electric, his finishing and dribbling would be a joke and, despite not being the tallest, he would also be a threat in the air. Although many English icons are already in the game, the fact that he is one of the only Englishmen to win the Best sports video games Player award is enough of a warrant to add him to the virtual soccer fi

EA SPORTS FC 25 remains the visual peak of EA SPORTS titles, even though Madden is right on its heels. The pre-game introductions, the player animations, the crowd, environments and the lighting are beautiful. Then there's Messi's hair that flows in the wind. There are two graphical options in the menu with the option to include some ray tracing and the other favoring resolution. There was a glaring graphical bug during daytime games that couldn't be replicated at night and changing the graphical options didn't get rid of it. Player models during the game in the middle of the field would begin ghosting. This may be related to the lighting direction at the time, but it's apparent enough that it's an issue (it doesn't seem to happen at night or in the rain). Otherwise, every visual aspect of the game remains top tier.

FC 25 has made a commendable effort to change the tactical system in a way that feels tangible. Flexibility has clearly been the mantra: training plans and match tactics have been changed comparatively radically, with more focus on individual roles. One of the headlines (especially for Liverpool fans), is the addition of the falseback role (inverted full-back by another name), but there's more to the chan

Aside from having great passing and dribbling stats, Jill Roord has a reliable shooting stat of 84, allowing you to score some great goals while using her. She can additionally be utilized as a right winger on the Ultimate T

EA Sports FC 25 isn't exactly short on Brazilian icons, but Ceni deserves to be included as there really wasn't anyone else like him in the sport. He scored 129 goals in 1,209 games, mainly for Sao Paulo in Brazil. This record could easily be smashed in Ultimate T
