EA FC 25 Trailer Review: FCIQ and Every New Feature

EA FC 25 Trailer Review! What's New in FC 25?

EA FC 25 has now officially dropped a trailer, and we have a good idea about the price, the game's release date and much more. On top of that, thanks to leaks, we're also starting to learn about new features coming to modes like Career Mode and Ultimate Team mode. In this article, we'll review the EA FC 25 trailer and fill you in on the new features in FC 25.

EA FC 25 Trailer Review! Did We Like the Trailer?

As expected, the FC 25 trailer opens with the game's cover star, Bellingham. It then continues with the reveal of the Rush game mode and FCIQ. The most striking thing worth pointing out among them is FCIQ. That's because FCIQ is claimed to offer over 4 million tactical variations. So a large part of this EA FC 25 trailer review will focus on FCIQ. Thanks to FCIQ, you'll also be able to copy the tactics of professional EA FC 25 players and use them as your own. Since it will also affect gameplay, we think tactics will take more of a front seat this year thanks to FCIQ. The 4-3-2-1 formation being removed from the game could also be a sign that tactical variety is going to increase. Most players used to line up in a 4-3-2-1 and try more or less the same tactical variations. Managers will also matter more in Ultimate Team mode now. For example, if you pick Pep Guardiola as your manager, you'll be required to play the 4-3-3 system found on his Manager card. Also, if Pep Guardiola has the build-up play slow instruction, you'll have to play that way too. On top of that, many new roles have been added to the game, including roles we're familiar with from the FM series. For example, instead of a plain CDM (a "number 6"), you'll be able to give a player the Ball-Winning Midfielder role and have them play that way. This addition will bring plenty of tactical variety to the game and add tactical depth. This could help EA FC win over FM fans too. Thanks to this tactical freedom, you'll enjoy the game more, and it'll give you more of a chance to show off in technical areas. So instead of only standing out through skill moves, you may also need to stand out tactically. Even if the trailer doesn't show much, the arrival of FCIQ has us excited, and if it delivers on its promise, we're in for a very different EA FC game in terms of tactics and gameplay. So in short, the trailer gives us a nice look at the game.

What New Features Will FC 25 Have?

Many new features have been added to the game, but the part of the trailer that stood out the most was the appearance of Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe. This free-kick shot sparked some speculation. We've listed the new FC 25 features and the most-asked questions for you below:

• Will Rams Park and Şükrü Saraçoğlu Stadium Be in EA FC 25?

Based on current leaks, there's talk of at least one Turkish team's stadium being in the game. Even though the stadium in the trailer resembles Şükrü Saraçoğlu, most Turkish EA FC influencers are saying Rams Park could also be added to the game. They also say they've heard this as a tip and that it will most likely be added. Adding a Turkish team's stadium to the game would be great news for anyone playing Division Rivals and Career Mode. This was also one of the things we most wanted to see in this EA FC 25 review. There's also talk of Arda Turan's Hero Card being added to the game.

• Will There Be Weather Changes in Career Mode?

In Career Mode, players will be able to change the weather, and this feature will affect gameplay. For example, in a rainy match, players will slip more.

• Will Team of the Week (TOTW) Cards Get a Different PlayStyle?

TOTW cards will now be able to get a PlayStyle based on how the player actually performed that week. For example, if Bellingham played a playmaker role in midfield and was selected for the team of the week because of it, the playmaker PlayStyle will appear on his TOTW card.

• How Many Substitutes Will FC 25 Teams Have?

Teams will now have 9 substitute players.

• Will I Be Counted as the Winner If My FC 25 Opponent Quits During a Draw?

One of the things that didn't make the FC 25 new features list, and one of the things players complain about most, is opponents quitting mid-match while the score is tied. Even though this wastes players' time, in the upcoming FC 25, just like in the previous game, you will not be counted as the winner if your opponent quits during a draw.

• What's Changing About the FC 25 Scouting Network?

In FC 25 Career Mode, you'll now be able to send scouts to over 160 countries. You'll also be able to search for specific players for a particular role. For example, instead of scouting plainly for a striker, you could task your scouting network with finding a False 9.

• Will Social Media and Fabrizio Romano Be Added to FC 25?

One of FC 25's newest features is the addition of social media and Fabrizio Romano to Career Mode. You'll be able to scroll through social media and see transfers announced by Fabrizio Romano with his signature "Here we go."

• What Are FC 25's New Player Roles?

FC 25 now handles the concept of roles in more depth, similar to Football Manager. Instead of labeling a midfielder simply as a CM, roles like Playmaker and box-to-box add to the tactical depth and importance of the player role concept.

• What's Changing About FC 25 Player Faces?

One of the most welcome pieces of news on the FC 25 new features list concerns player faces. Players without an actual face scan will now appear in-game with faces much closer to their real-life likeness. In other words, instead of a generic default face, players without a face scan will now appear in the game with a more detailed and realistic look.

• Will There Be Icon Players in FC 25 Career Mode?

One of FC 25's newest features is the ability to play alongside Icon players in Career Mode. This means players like Zidane and Beckham will appear in Career Mode.

• How Many Player Animations Does FC 25 Have?

FC 25 is expected to have over 1,800 player animations. That's 600 more than FC 24.
