Here’s Everything You Need to Know About EA Sports FC 25: FC IQ Tactics, Career Mode Improvements and More
Ahead of today's reveal of EA Sports FC 25, we were able to check a remote showcase of all of the game's new features and improvements. I've talked about the 5v5 Rush experience in a separate article, so I'll focus on everything else here.
