EA Sports FC 25 Standard Edition Available Today

For those who didn’t buy the Ultimate Edition or play the trial version of FC 25 seven days early, EA Sports has officially released the Standard Edition today. Players can join forces with friends in their favorite modes, including the new 5v5 Rush and lead their club to victory with enhanced tactical control through FC IQ.

Integrated across Ultimate Team, Clubs, Kick-Off and Career Mode in EA SPORTS FC 25, Rush is an all-new 5v5 experience that harnesses the same gameplay controls and true-to-football mechanics of 11v11. Players can hit the pitch together with friends in groups of four and an AI-controlled goalkeeper to put their chemistry to the test across a range of game types. In a single player, fast-paced experience in Manager Career, Rush will have players take control of their Youth Academy development throughout the season with new playable 5v5 tournaments.

FC IQ is poised to transform the game’s tactical foundations, providing players with greater strategic control, smarter AI teammates, and more realistic collective movement in every 11v11 match. Powered by real-world data from some of football’s elite teams, the new AI model influences player decision-making and behavior through the introduction of distinct Player Roles. Enhanced team tactics and modernized positioning at both ends of the pitch result in more varied gameplay, ensuring each match feels unique.

The revamped formats of the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League are featured in Career and Tournament modes. As always, play a few matches and share your impressions with the community.
