EA Sports has announced plans to release one last big update for annual football release EA FC 25.
The EA FC 25 Season Finale update has a June 3 release date on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. According to Electronic Arts, he new update aims to “provide fair and fun gameplay outcomes”.
As you can see from the patch notes further down the page, this includes changes to passing, as Electronic Arts “moderately increases accuracy of Ground Passes for players with high Passing related Attributes”.
Likewise, the update reduces the effectiveness of goalkeepers rushing with the Rush Out Playstyle and increases the accuracy of contested and uncontested headers.
EA Sports demonstrates some of the changes in a new blog post, highlighting how much more accurate passing will be following the release of the update.
However, as EA points out, passing is still impacted by variables such as clean inputs and defensive pressure on the passer.
A new season and Premium Pass will be added to Ultimate Team as part of the next season, while players will also benefit from an increased number of PlayStyles+ for ultimate team.
Elsewhere, EA Sports has changed the Player Career ICON selection, refreshed the Career Mode interface for Fixtures and Results, and tweaked the main menu with a new festive celebration theme.
