Hey everyone, the Season Finale Update (Title Update #15) is now available on all platforms for EA SPORTS FC 25. With this update we’re making three adjustments to game balance based on your feedback, and some updates to Ultimate Team and Career Mode. Here’s what you can expect: Moderately increased accuracy of Ground Passes for players with high Passing related Attributes. Significantly reduced effectiveness of goalkeepers rushing out with the Rush Out PlayStyle, and slightly reduced that effectiveness for Rush Out PlayStyle+ players. Slightly increased accuracy of contested and uncontested headers. A new season and Premium Pass in Ultimate Team. Increased the maximum number of PlayStyles+ UT Player Items can have up to five. Updated Player Career ICON selection. Refreshed Career Mode UI for Fixtures and Results. Refreshed the main menu with a festive celebration theme. One of our main goals with this update is to provide fair and fun gameplay outcomes based on your feedback, but without drastically changing how the game is being played. Let’s dig into it some more. Gameplay Updates Improving Ground Passes For Skilled Passers In the Season Finale Update, we’ve made the following passing change based on your feedback: Moderately increased Ground Pass accuracy for players with high Passing related Attributes. This change does not impact Driven Ground Passes. With this change we’re looking to reduce the gap between players who can be excellent passers thanks to their high Passing related Attributes, and players who have passing related PlayStyles. We want both types of players to be able to perform great passes. Here’s how a Ground Pass could have looked before this update, with a high Passing Attribute player. Now let’s take a look at how this pass can play out after the update. Note the increase in accuracy. Of course, passing is still impacted by everything you’d expect including clean inputs and defensive pressure on the passer. We want passing to feel authentic in FC 25, and we want players who pass the ball well in real life to pass it well in our game too. Reduced GK Rush Out PlayStyle Effectiveness We’ve tweaked goalkeepers in the Season Finale Update based on your feedback: Slightly reduced the rate of acceleration for goalkeepers with the Rush Out PlayStyle+. Significantly reduced the rate of acceleration for goalkeepers with the Rush Out PlayStyle. We’ve seen and heard from you that the keepers with the Rush Out PlayStyle+ were overly effective at closing down attackers. Here’s how that could have looked before this update. Now, here’s how that situation can play out. Note that the goalkeeper isn’t closing down the space as quickly as before. Naturally we don’t want to take away the ability of goalkeepers to rush incoming attackers, but with this change our goal is to create more balanced one on one situations and encourage a wider variety of defensive strategies. Improving Header Accuracy We’ve seen your feedback about wanting headers to be a more viable attacking option, so we made the following change: Slightly increased accuracy of headers performed by the shooting input. While nobody wants every single header to be a goal, we’ve seen the need for increasing the effectiveness of headers in FC 25. Here’s how a header could have looked before the Season Finale Update. Now let’s take a look at a more accurate header that you can perform after this update. As always, we’ll continue to look at your feedback on headers and all other gameplay aspects of FC 25, so please keep it coming in places like our Feedback Portal and Discord. Football Ultimate Team Updates Season 8 And A New Premium Pass It’s almost time for Season 8 in FUT, and it’ll be kicking off on Thursday, June 5th. The new season also brings a brand new Premium Pass to FC 25, and we’ve listed everything you can expect from it below. We have updated our Playstyle+ Evolution Consumables requirements for Season 8! In the Standard Ladder, the requirements for the Playstyle+ Evolutions will be: Max 95 OVR, Max 9 Playstyles, Max 3 Playstyle+. In the Premium Pass, the requirements for the Playstyle+ Evolutions will be: Max 96 OVR, Max 9 Playstyles, Max 3 Playstyle+. If you want to know about the Season Pass and how it works in-game, be sure to check out our Pitch Notes on it, complete with an FAQ section. Increased Maximum Amount Of PlayStyle+ Assignments With the Season Finale Update, Player Items can now have up to five PlayStyle+ in Ultimate Team. We’re making this update so we can provide you with a larger variety of Player Items going forward. You may notice that you can now gain up to a maximum of five new PlayStyle+ as rewards through Evolutions, or certain Player Items show more PlayStyle+ UI indicators. Of course this doesn’t mean that every Player Item with multiple PlayStyles+ will have five of them, it just means that five is the new max. Career Mode, Main Menu, And More As part of the Season Finale Update, we’re adding the final set of Live Start Points for FC 25, plus you can now play as the following ICONs in Player Career: Birgit Prinz George Best Johan Cruyff Garrincha In Manager Career, you will now be able to play 5v5 Youth Tournament Matches in co-op, up to four players, via the addition of the Side Select functionality. We’ve also tweaked how match results around your club are covered in your Career Mode social media feeds, with a new and improved logic allowing you to see a refreshed Fixtures & Results UI, like the one below. You can also expect a refreshed main menu, themed to match the new season. Feedback We’re excited to hear what you think about these changes. You can share your feedback directly in the Season Finale Update thread in our #game-feedback Discord channel here, and on the Player Feedback Portal.

We’re excited to release the Legends Return Update (TU #10) and it brings a new shooting PlayStyle, new Player Items and ICONs, and much more. You can expect to see: A new Low Driven Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+. Reduced Precision Lob Pass accuracy. The return of the fabled Roma Trio to Football Ultimate Team and the addition of Franz Beckenbauer as an ICON. New Super Sub Player Items that receive full Chemistry when coming into a match. The return of the Classic XI to Kick Off and Online Friendlies, and the addition of Canada’s Women’s National Team. Increased Clubs level cap by 20 and added new Facilities. The new Target Live UT Friendly inspired by the Low Drive Shot PlayStyle. Updated Career Mode UI and Player Career ICON selection. Updated visual flair with refreshed main menu vibes, set piece animations, and new SuperFans in pre-match scenes. This update does not contain any major balance changes to the game, it has a few smaller tweaks based on your feedback alongside a few issues addressed that we’ve highlighted below. Let’s jump into it. Gameplay The New Low Driven Shot PlayStyle & PlayStyle+ We’ve seen your feedback around shooting and wanting to have more options on that front, and we’re excited to bring the new Low Driven Shot PlayStyle in the Legends Return Update. Our intent here is to enable you to more consistently perform precise shots taken with a short press of the shooting input, often referred to as low driven shots. The Low Driven PlayStyle has the following effects: - Significantly increased shot accuracy. - Moderately increased ball travel speed. - Moderately increased how quickly players can perform the requested shot. Note that the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle+ has the same effects as above, but they’re tuned to be more effective. Here’s how this shot type can look with no PlayStyles in effect. Here’s how it can look with the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle+. The ball travels faster, the shot is more accurate, and the shot is taken more quickly. The Low Driven Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+ is available in Football Ultimate Team, Career Mode (Youth Academy Players and Player Career), and Clubs. Precision Lob Pass And Clearance Header Updates While TU #10 doesn’t seek to redefine how the game is played, we’ve made a few smaller changes based on your feedback. The two most significant ones in this update are: - Moderately reduced accuracy of fully powered Precision Lob Passes. With this change we continue towards making Precision Lob Passes behave more authentically, with the goal of lowering their use in kick off scenarios. - Significantly increased the accuracy of clearance headers. We’ve seen your feedback around clearance headers, and we’ve increased their accuracy so that you can have more options for quickly getting the ball out of a potentially dangerous situation. Gameplay Issues Addressed This update addresses a handful of smaller scale gameplay issues posted on the EASF Tracker, and we wanted to highlight two of them for you here: - In some specific situations, AI defenders did not press the ball carrier as intended. This issue mainly occurred during potential offside scenarios, with the AI defender over prioritizing the offside line instead of attempting to press an offensive threat. To be clear, addressing this issue is not intended to improve AI defending across the board, it's to address situations where you would typically expect an AI player to press the ball carrier to begin with. - Sometimes, incorrect goalkeeper save animations could have occurred when the keeper was trying to save tight angle near post shots. We wanted to make sure we could address this issue before introducing the Low Driven Shot PlayStyle, and now we expect the goalkeepers to behave more authentically when attempting to save tight angle near post shots. Football Ultimate Team New ICONs & Heroes (Yes, The Roma Trio Is Back!) One of Football Ultimate Team’s most memorable trios is returning in FC 25. A decade after their reign, Seydou Doumbia, Victor Ibarbo, and Gervinho are back, bringing back memories of their blistering pace and silky dribbling. Starting Friday, March 14 in FUT Birthday Week 2, Streets Won’t Forget versions of the Roma Trio will be available through Objectives and Evolutions in Football Ultimate Team. Additionally, FUT Birthday Hero versions of the trio will be included in the Football Ultimate Team pool of items for Packs. The Base versions of the Roma Trio will not be available in the pool of items for packs in FC 25. And for the first time in FC history, Franz Beckenbauer will feature in Football Ultimate Team as an ICON. Beckenbauer’s career was defined by success at the highest level, winning three consecutive European Cups, two Ballon d'Or awards, and a World Cup. On Friday, March 21, Franz Beckenbauer’s Base ICON version will be added to the Football Ultimate Team pool of items for packs as part of the UEFA Dreamchasers campaign. His first campaign version will follow on Friday, April 4, debuting as part of the FUT Immortals campaign in Football Ultimate Team. Super Sub Player Items Are Coming To Football Ultimate Team We're looking forward to introducing Super Sub Player Items in the near future. These Player Items will have full Chemistry when they’re subbed into matches during the second half and beyond. Additionally, following the same activation conditions, Role Familiarity at the Role+ level will be increased to Role++.Just keep in mind that these Player Items need to be subbed-in in their primary or alternate positions in order for their Chemistry and Role Familiarity effects to be active. New Live Football Ultimate Team Friendly - Targets We’re also excited to add a new Live Ultimate Team Friendly called Targets through a Server Release soon, a match type inspired by the new Low Driven Shot PlayStyle. At the start of the match, targets will appear at each corner of the net for both teams. Hitting those targets when scoring will count as 2 goals and will permanently destroy the target that was hit. This means each player will have an opportunity to scope up to 4 additional goals by hitting all 4 targets over the course of the match. With this new mode we aim to offer players a fun and strategic choice when deciding their shooting targets and we encourage everyone to try the new Low Driven Shot PlayStyle as an effective way to hit those lower corners. Clubs Level Cap Increase And New PlayStyle Following a Server Release, we’ll soon be expanding Clubs progression with 20 additional levels, enabling you to earn more Skill Points and develop further. Each level will bring 1 Skill Point, with level 120 giving 5 Skill Points for a total of 24 extra Skill Points, enabling new player progression options. Additionally, at level 110 players will be able to unlock the new Low Driven Shot+ PlayStyle for their Avatars. Regular Low Driven Shot PlayStyle will be available without any level restrictions similar to other PlayStyles. New Facilities We’re introducing two new Facilities - the Low Driven Drill and Strength Drill. The Low Driven Drill Facility is a great way for everyone in the club to experience and try the new Low Driven Shot PlayStyle, and the Strength Drill will provide the Block PlayStyle+. Paired with key Attribute increases, the new facilities add more options for the club’s manager. Here’s what these 3-Star Facilities will include: Low Driven Drill Attributes: Long Pass, Shot Power PlayStyle: Low Driven Shot Strength Drill Attributes: Strength, Stand Tackle PlayStyle: Block+ As a reminder, enhancements from Facilities apply to all player-controlled clubmates and not AI-controlled clubmates during League, Playoff, and Friendly Matches. The new Facilities will become available following a Server Release. Double Coin Events We’ll be introducing Double Coins Events to Clubs following a Server Release, and players will be able to earn extra Coins during these events. Similarly to the Double XP event introduced in First Frost update, players will be able to see 2x Multiplier in the menus to know when the event is active. Furthermore, events can have both XP and Coins effects simultaneously, meaning players can receive Double XP and Double Coins after each played game. We are planning to run several Double Coins and XP events over the course of the upcoming seasons, so keep an eye on Clubs menu. Career Mode Career Mode UI Improvements, New ICONs, And More We continue to update Career Mode with new Live Start Points and Snapshots, and in this update we’re also making some UI changes based on your feedback. The Central tab now shows Upcoming Fixtures and displays current Standings, meanwhile, Task List text has been made smaller for easier viewing. Career Mode also has the new Low Driven Shot PlayStyle, Youth Academy Players can develop it in Manager Career and it can be unlocked in Player Career. And speaking of Player Career, the ICON selection will be updated following a Server Release and includes the likes of Franz Beckenbauer. New Teams We’re also delighted to welcome the Canadian Women’s National Team to Kick Off/Online Friendlies/Online Seasons, and the Classic XI returns to Kick Off/Online Friendlies as well! With the Classic XI, you can play with the likes of: Franz Beckenbauer Pele Diego Maradona Johan Cruyff And the Canadian Women’s National team features stars like: Jessie Fleming Ashley Lawrence Vanessa Gilles Kadeisha Buchanan Jordyn Huitema Visual Updates With the Legends Return Update, we’re excited to bring a suite of authenticity and visual updates to FC 25. You can expect to see 69 updated star heads following a Server Release. We’re also adding two new celebrations inspired by real world players across various modes. Plus we’re adding set piece animations unique to Gareth Bale, you’ll be able to see them during free kicks and penalties. Vintage Theme In Main Menu The first thing FC 25 players might notice with the Legends Return Update is a vintage visual theme in the Main Menu. There’s a nostalgic visual tone from old broadcasts intended to shine a spotlight on some of football's greats. You can expect to see Franz Beckenbauer, Pele, Diego Maradona, and Johan Cruyff appearing in the Main Menu. SuperFans For the first time, EA SPORTS FC is celebrating SuperFans, honouring the people who are always there For The Club by putting them in the virtual stands in FC 25. For the first group of SuperFans in FC 25, we partnered with four global clubs known for their die-hard supporters: Dortmund Liverpool Boca Juniors Angel City FC Following the Legends Update, you’ll start seeing SuperFans appearing across various scenes for these clubs in their home stadiums.
