EA FC 25 is definitely the worst game in history
I didn’t want to buy this game — I knew it was going to be a disaster. But like any fan of the series, curiosity got the better of me, so I bought it. Still, I couldn’t bring myself to play more than a few matches. The campaign mode is a complete disaster, and it honestly feels like it was designed that way on purpose, just to push everyone toward online play.
There’s no way to defend properly, and everything seems geared toward one goal: forcing us into the online mode. On top of that, there's the whole politically correct angle — where(probabily) they’re trying to make it so that even people with disabilities — like missing limbs — can score goals in the most popular football game on the planet!
The gameplay is a mess — passing doesn’t work, attacking AI is completely broken, and manual defending isn’t just ineffective, it’s actively punished. Add in the endless bounce backs, and the experience quickly becomes unbearable.
The menus? Well, if the gameplay is bad, at least the menus should make up for it, right? Wrong. The menus barely function. Constant freezing, display glitches, and an absurd increase in the number of clicks just to view your picks — all of it adds up to a terrible user experience.
Co-op is broken too. Let’s say you somehow overlook all the above issues and just want to enjoy some time with your friend in what used to be the best mode in FUT. Guess what? You’d better hope you’re not the away team — otherwise, you’ll get hit with an instant forfeit within five seconds of kickoff.
And it’s not about skill — I actually wish it was just that. Back in 2009, I was actually one of the top players in the series on Xbox. But nowadays, year after year, the defensive system keeps getting butchered in favor of the offensive side — as if, in the minds of these developers, football is only exciting when attacking, not defending. Then again, maybe it makes sense… after all, goalkeepers never win the Ballon d’Or.
I’m a longtime fan of the series. My first “FIFA” was back in 1997, and it was FIFA 96. Since then, I’ve played nearly every title in the franchise. And I’ll be honest — while the series has had its highs and lows, and some entries were even considered terrible, in all my years as a FIFA fan, I have never uninstalled a FIFA/FC game this quickly.
Usually, even with the weaker titles, I’d stick with them for a while — sometimes months. But this one? I picked it up, played 10–15 matches, and uninstalled it with deep regret.
