FC25 Starter Kit: 4213 - 95 Depth - Counter - Speed boost - Bouncebacks
It's a shame that yesterday's Title Update 10 still doesn't bring any changes to the gameplay. Bouncebacks every single match. Even if my central defender has Anticipate Plus Playstyle, the ball bounces to the opponent's foot very often. Through balls are still far too strong, headers are still useless, physically strong strikers are largely useless if they don't have Rapid or Quickstep Playstyle. The speed boost is far too strong, especially with players who have Quickstep or Rapid Playstyle Plus. The CPU pressing with 95 depth is way too strong. Most formations have no chance against 4213. No possession game possible, no short passing game possible, no movement of CDMs and attackers in other formations. CMs do not drop back despite instructions. Attackers are caught up more quickly by the defender again. AI defending has become much stronger again. The only thing that has been changed is that you can now see your opponent's players when they play 4213 formation. Tons of cheaters every week (at least on PC), reaching rank 1 is impossible in Champs. Please EA, rework the gameplay urgently.

4213 Formation Adjustment needed
Dear EA Team, I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to share some feedback regarding the 4-2-1-3 formation in EA FC 25. I feel that this particular formation, especially with two defensive midfielders (DMs), is overpowered in its current state. The combination of its strong positioning and ability to generate excessive rebounds makes it very difficult to counter, which limits variety in gameplay and tactics. One of the main reasons I enjoy playing EA FC is the opportunity to experiment with and enjoy different formations, each with its own strategic approach. However, I’ve found that nearly 90% of the opponents I face in Division Rivals and Weekend League are using the same 4-2-1-3 formation. This dominance of a single formation has made it increasingly difficult to experience the variety and strategic depth the game is meant to offer. I would love to see some adjustments or nerfs to the effectiveness of this formation, particularly in terms of defensive stability and rebound control, so that players like myself can explore other formations without feeling at a disadvantage. Thank you for considering this feedback. I look forward to seeing future updates that improve the overall balance of EA FC 25 and provide more opportunities for tactical variety in matches.

Just a few of the 1000 bugs in this game
Hello EA FC25 I play on Ultimate difficulty and you should fix this in FC25 Career mode. It should be very easy to fix and it will leave us (loyal costumers) in the illusion that you still give a f*** about anything else than money (Ultimate Team): First of all; headers. I cant believe that you **bleep**ed up headers EVEN MORE than it already was in previous games. You know that 10-20% of goals in football is scored by a header? This is reduced to 0 in this game. Even when a cross is perfect and not hauled 25 meters towards your own goal (which happens very often), the attacking player either heads it 5 meters over the goal, right on the keeper or down in the Ground and then off target. I cant believe that you ruined this even more than it was in FC24. HEADERS ARE A PART OF FOOTBALL even though some kids only playing Ultimate team is crying about it being overpowered. Corners are useless unless you Call an extra player and dribles through their defence (which is terrible). Transfer notifications: I dont even know how you **bleep**ed this up, but I’m not surprised. You dont get an e-mail when someone makes an offer on your player. Low crosses and long passes: Low crosses is impossible. Long passes is in slowmotion. Watch a game of football plz and tell me how the long passes look in real life. When making a long pass it’s like looking at a balloon falling to the ground. Fatigue: If I want my backs to overlap and not just stand completely still when attacking, I have to assign them to wingbacks which just completely fatigues them after a half. I can assign them to “back” which means they keep their stamina but does absolutely nothing in attack. The same goes for center backs, if I want them to be playable for long attacks with a lot of passes. Player roles: Introducing new features always leads to absolute rubbish. The new player roles is so exaggerated. Wanting a winger to become more focussed on cutting in - you guessed it: he positions himself as a striker. Ok, now I want my winger to go wider - I’ll assign him to winger. Now he only stays wide even though there are loads of space in the middle. The players never adapt and are only focussed on the assigned role. Scoring goals: The only possible way to score is to play tika-taka through the middle of the field. So one sided and boring. Always the same goal in every match. Substitution: Substitution after receving a red card: This has been a bug the last 5 years or something like that. You cant substitute a player after getting a red card, unless you substitute another player. Substitution in extra time: In some cups you dont get an extra substitute in extra time. stats: this is not important like the other points I have made, but it would be nice with more detailed stats other than goals, assists, cards and clean sheet. How about some stats that spand over the seasons? Or the detailed stats from the games introduced, so I can see the average of e.g. a specific player’s amount of possesion in matches. I mean I could go on and on about a million things wrong about this game, but this is just a few of the main things that you be very easy to fix.

Fix seasons
A lot of people enjoy playing seasons to see how far they can actually get in the ranks but to have real Madrid unbeatable in every match is beyond a joke they are not unbeatable in real life so why is it that they are in game playing as Liverpool the best in the world right now and unable to beat them or even put up a fight is a joke and needs sorting just look at how many people actually pick real Madrid as they are unable to win without the help of a team that always wins in game no matter how good you are as a player and to then get players in rank 3 and 4 to face a team like me who is in rank 7 is also a joke as this is not a fair part to the game as then your playing a player who is 3 ranks above you and playing with real Madrid who you can NEVER beat or even draw agents needs looking at or I think I will stop playing the game myself

Suggestions for future EA FC titles
Release it in a finished state Let us adjust the foul frequency in a more in-depth way. Right now if you amp it up for the CPU they just commit yellow card offenses, it should be possible to adjust it in a way that it resembles an actual football match where tactical fouls happen all the time. If this annoys people they don't need to change it. Add an option to disable Tifo's at the start of the game, these are rarely used in real life Add seasons, time of day and all weather options to Cup kick-offs such as Champions League! Right now they're preset to autumn, sunny and 9pm! League phase matches are taking place until February so it should be possible to set it to winter at least. Fix the leg system. Right now when you play the 1st leg of a knockout round it doesn't actually do anything and in the 2nd leg the commentators talk as if it had never happened and treat it as the 1st leg. The result is also not incorporated into the 2nd leg. And give us an option to play it as a leg-based round or just a single match. Increase low shots. I can't believe this franchise exists since 31 years yet every single goal is scored by a full blast hammered into the net. Real shots are more nuanced and diverse, most often struck low and accurate into a corner. It is impossible to do Mbappé's signature goal without pressing the respective buttons. You say "well then just press them" but CPU should also do these kind of shots for realism. Match-ups should be more realistic. When you play Manchester City vs Club Brügge on World Class it's an even playing field with both teams playing rather attacking football. This is not what happens in real life. Teams should by default play a low block against such a strong opponent and wait for counter-attacks. If you don't like it you should be able to turn it off or include the realistic version in the tactical mode. CPU should do realistic celebrations, i.e. not celebrate as if they just won the league title after getting one back after being down 5-0 against you

When will clubs be fixed!
Another EA FC and another **bleep** up by EA… Fix clubs EA make the AI listen to tactics and actually apply pressure to opponents when they are attacking. what’s the actual point of having tactics if they don’t even work , what’s the point of having AI when they just stand there and watch the opposing team run by them and score freely , What’s the point of having team pressure when it does absolutely bloody nothing. Like seriously we’re playing with two strikers , one central attacking midfielder and two central midfielders and yet the AI just stand there and do absolutely nothing. fix it quickly EA.
