Today, EA Sports FC 25 unveiled its latest deep-dive trailer, which explores the changes coming to Career mode. While much of the base game will remain the same, plenty of tweaks are coming that feed off new mechanics like FC IQ and incentives unique to this mode alone. You can check out a summary of those changes, which range from a new women’s manager career to development planning, located right down below:
- Live Start Points – All-new to both Manager and Player Career modes, Live Start Points bring you closer to your favourite clubs and leagues, allowing you to live out the biggest storylines from the real-world during the 2024/2025 football season.
- Women’s Manager Career – In a first for any football game, players now have the option to play Manager Career in five of the top leagues in women’s football. Women’s Manager Career has all of the Men’s Manager Career features, plus unique challenges that exist solely within the women’s game.
- FC IQ – From creating a squad that fits your selected Team Playstyle, to pre-match analysis of your opponent’s style defined by their manager’s real-world tactics, FC IQ influences core Career Mode features for a more comprehensive matchday and tactical experience.
- Development Plans 2.0 – Development plans are now fueled by Player Roles and include Role Growth potential, with each Role having its own Development Plan that focuses on a set of Attributes and abilities. The Role Rating of each player determines the potential of Key Attributes for that Role. Over time, if a player is growing consistently on the Attributes that are Key to a Role, there’s a chance to trigger a Role Rating level up. When that happens, it increases the potential of those Attributes, unlocking a new stage of growth.
EA Sports FC 25 will be released worldwide on September 27, 2024, on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. For more information on this and any other upcoming sports games, be sure to check back to Simulation Daily for your up-to-the-hour updates.
