As a seasoned gamer who has spent countless hours honing my virtual football skills, I must say that the latest additions to EA Sports FC 25‘s playstyles have left me both intrigued and underwhelmed. While it’s always exciting to see new strategies for goalkeepers, the fact that all the changes are focused on them feels a bit lopsided.
As a die-hard fan, I can tell you that the playing styles in EA Sports FC 25 feel remarkably familiar, with only minor tweaks, particularly in the goalkeeper category. This consistency makes it smoother for returning players to jump right back into the game. With EA introducing player roles and FC IQ this year, the influence of these playstyles has significantly grown, adding a fresh layer of complexity to the gameplay experience.
Ronald Araujo is one of the top young central defenders in EA Sports FC 25, offering multiple defender playstyles, particularly Block+. While a PS+ boost can significantly enhance his performance, combining his skills with suitable player roles and real-time tactical advice could revolutionize gameplay this season.
Details of All Playstyles in EA Sports FC 25
Similar to the previous edition, the gameplay styles in EA Sports FC 25 are segregated into six main categories: Scoring, Passing, Ball Handling, Defense, Physique, and Goalkeeping. Players can possess no style, the standard edition, or the elite PS+ version. The highest level is undeniably the most potent and is exclusively assigned to the top-tier players who excel in that attribute, such as Cristiano Ronaldo with Power Shot+.
With that said, here are all the playstyles in EA Sports FC 25 and what they stand for:
