EA Sports FC 25 Career | What is coming to the mode this year?

As a long-time fan of football management games, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming release of EA Sports FC 25 and its enhanced career mode. Last year’s addition of coaching was a great step forward, but this time around, it seems that even bigger improvements are on the horizon.


In EA Sports FC’s career mode version 24, there have been some adjustments, including the introduction of coaching. It seems that more significant changes are on the horizon for this year. New elements such as Rush mode in the youth academy and Live Start Points and Snapshots offer opportunities to engage in real-world competition, making the career experience in EA Sports FC 25 promising and intriguing. Here’s what we know so far about this year’s enhanced career mode.

EA Sports FC 25 career: Live Start Points and Snapshots

As an avid gamer and football enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Live Start Points are now a reality! This new feature enables me to join any week of a professional season and manage my favorite club as if I were the coach. Once I hop in, all transfers, suspensions, injuries, and stats are already accounted for. It’s available for 11 official leagues, including the Premier League and Bundesliga!

Snapshots offer an exciting feature that allows you to take control at certain points in a season. For instance, you could assume leadership of Borussia Dortmund post-Sancho’s transfer from Manchester United, Liverpool after the departure of Klopp, or during the intense 2023/24 free-for-all battle between Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester City.

FC IQ and Coaching

In EA Sports FC 25, the major update to tactics is called FCIQ (Future Club Innovation Quotient). This change is significant for your career mode. Instead of only assigning coaches based on players’ positions, you can now hire specialists to help them adapt to specific tactics. For instance, Haaland, who fits well with Pep’s Tika-Taka style in real life, can be trained further in the game by hiring a coach to make him more proficient with this tactic. This enhancement applies to all tactical styles and adds depth to the coaching system introduced last year.

Rush and the Youth Academy

The youth academy has been perceived as an add-on or afterthought in my tenure as manager. I often view it as a means to strengthen my first team when numbers are low, or a necessary requirement to appease the board during player signings. However, I understand the importance of nurturing young talent and have made significant strides to integrate your academy into my managerial role. You now have the ability to choose four positions for your scout to target prospective younger players for the academy, with three specialized roles in place. Additionally, thanks to Cranium technology, the appearance of players within the academy will be more youthful.

In simpler terms, the highly anticipated new Rush feature in your youth academy will significantly impact your experience. It’s an exciting addition that we’ve been looking forward to this year. With Rush matches, you can test your young players’ skills before deciding whether to promote them to the main team or adjust their development. Moreover, there are youth tournaments every other month, offering a competitive platform for your players to shine.

Women’s Career Mode

Women have played significant roles in the series for some time now, and each year EA is making strides to integrate them more deeply into the game. In EA Sports FC 25, there will be a women’s career mode for six major leagues globally, featuring the WSL, NWSL, Liga F, and Google Pixel-Frauen Bundesliga.

New customisation and UI

As a long-time football manager game enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement about the latest update. The new customization options are truly a game-changer for me. In the past, I’ve often found myself frustrated by the monotony of dealing with transfers and tactics. But now, I have the freedom to remove them entirely and focus on the pure joy of gameplay and matchdays.

The user interface has been simplified for smoother navigation through menus during your football season. Additionally, a new social media feature will keep you updated with real-time feeds, giving the experience of scrolling through various platforms. EA collaborates with multiple media sources for added authenticity, and an exciting new element is the partnership between these feeds and renowned transfer expert and journalist Fabrizio Romano. Announcing your signings through him will add a delightful touch to the game.

Player Careers with Icons and Origin Stories

Fans who take pleasure in overseeing the careers of particular football players now have the opportunity to assume control of seven legendary soccer figures starting from the beginning of their professional journeys up until their retirements. These seven stars include Kelly Smith, Ronaldo (R9), David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Andrea Pirlo, Thierry Henry, and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

When creating your own football player, you have the option to choose a backstory, which adds depth to your character. Perhaps your player has recovered from a serious injury, or has been passionate about football since childhood. These backstories offer an exciting level of customization for your player.
