FC 25 is regarded as one of the worst FIFA/FC games in history. Broken mechanics, poor gameplay balance, and a lack of meaningful content updates made it an absolute turd. Lets not forgot the shallow and uninspired Career Mode, the stale Ultimate Team grind, and the feeling that the game was more focused on monetization than fun

Did EA learn anything? At least hey are showing actual gameplay in this reveal, previous decades it has always been a CGI/ingame hybrid trailer

 

[LordOcidax]

Mbappe, Lewis Hamilton, Bad Bunny… That's an expensive trailer, that's for sure…

From PR standpoint thats one of the best trailers I've seen.

 

[FalconPunch]

Definitely agree

 

[Zathalus]

1.5 million views in 4 hours? Haha, holy shit. EA just rakes in the money with these games don't they?

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

If they want to show more realism, they should have shown more gameplay depicting Chelsea dismantling PSG in front of the entire world.

 

[SJRB]

Bro this trailer is peak brainrot, it's just an endless stream of flashing .5 second shots. Headache inducing.

You have to watch this fucking thing like 4 times to fully digest it.

 

[Catphish]

Anyone who buys this on release day deserves exactly what they get.

NBA 2K should do the same, good trailer indeed.

Did we watch the same thing?

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Players still animate like string puppets with crazy legs.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Cannot wait to put between 1k-5k into microtransactions to have my dream team for 1 year. After this trailer, clearly telling us that they've heard our criticism, i am so incredibly pumped. This is why i love EA. They listen to their fans.

 

[ValiantInstance]

The game looks exactly the same graphically, so they're putting all their marketing into claiming they're actually making it fun to play.

Let's see how it goes. Haven't bought one in ages, the free 10 hour trial on Game Pass is usually enough to put me off for the year.

 

[forsakkenSoul]

Next year when it's 80% off, I'll buy it. That's what I did with FC 25, since I only get it to play with friends, I don't really care about buying it at launch. Especially when the difference between FC 25 and 26 will be minimal.

 

[Hideous Snake]

Surprisingly I liked it. If they end up implementing everything shows as accurate as that, I might go back in. FC25 was utter shite

 

[SomeGit]

The idea of the trailer looks good, after the mess that was FC 25 but will they actually fix it this time? In the trailer they say they are fixing bounce backs but it's like the 20th time they are saying this since FIFA 17.

 

[GymWolf]

Can't wait to her the new bizzare names they chose for their tech, between fifa and madden it's always a good laugh, and the the game are the exact same or worse.

 

[GymWolf]

Loved that game.

 

[Portugeezer]

1.5 million views in 4 hours? Haha, holy shit. EA just rakes in the money with these games don't they?

> "EA FC sucks, I hate this game"

> Buys next year's game anyway.

 

[Darsxx82]

The same garbage for a decade. There's not even a shred of effort to create a football game that conveys the sensations of the sport it aims to imitate... It's a disgrace.

I still occasionally put on FIFA 14 and wonder when EA thought nothing was working and needed to transform the gameplay into a game of rebounds, impossible dribbles, and always the same scoring play...


Sports games are my biggest disappointment for a decade...

 

[Mephisto40]

Starting the trailer with the exact same match introduction commentary they have had in the past 4 games is just ridiculous tbh, it's like they don't even care any more

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Looks improved. Will definitely pick this up during Black Friday.

 

[Ozriel]

Looks improved. Will definitely pick this up during Black Friday.

Yep. That's usually the best window for pickup. Usually drops to nearly 50% off, and not too late to get into it with your friends.

 

[TrebleShot]

Lol every year, promises of revolutionised gameplay, if you believe it, more on you.
It will be the same skaty, no physics clipping mess of a game.

 

[Gubaldo]

I recently played FC 25 demo. Was genuinely surprised that gameplay was real fun.
After 20 years , first time fifa felt good.
So definitely keeping an eye on this

 

[kpopSuperstar]

From PR standpoint thats one of the best trailers I've seen.

They do this shit every year. Madden and FIFA have these fake new feature trailers every year.

 

[Lambogenie]

Did we watch the same thing?

He's right though. It's a messy, frantic trailer.

There was a demo?

 

[Gubaldo]

There was a demo?

Yeah
EA FC showcase on steam

 

[SonicVolcano]

The engine is really showing its age.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Great trailer, and I don't have any real interest in football or the game.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

The engine is really showing its age.

They used to, after a couple of iterations, switch to a new engine for the generation.

FIFA 98 on PS1
FIFA 2003 on PS2
FIFA 07 on 360

 

[Aion002]

They always make terrible trailers, on this one at least they're pretending to care or something...

17 was the last great Fifa and 25 was the worst.

Well, I will play it on gamepass and ps plus next year. To all the brave souls that will pre order this game: I hope they can have fun with it.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Well that was fucking terrible.

 

[Business]

I think football games desperately need a new franchise, someone new to come with a fresh take on how football translates into a videogame. This shit is embarrassing to watch, the tone is so juvenile it makes me cringe. The game has barely evolved in 25 years, there's nothing amazing about it, not the animations, not the stadiums or the crowd, ball physics don't look anywhere close to real, not even the players themselves, of which the assets are decent but they look like lifeless puppets. The problem is football is too popular, people want their football game and sadly this is your only and default choice these days, EA gets the money and nothing changes.

 

[crackajack]

Are the trailers not promising each and every year some revolutionary features, just without the "we heard you"? But people seem to dislike it every year more and lamenting the too few actual changes?

And eFootball or Rematch are no alternative because of licenses and lemming attitude?

Not my problem, bought PES around 20 years ago and did not care much for sports games since, just played this and that what was in PS Plus.

 

[m14]

What game are you all playing to get your football fix these days?

 

[PeteBull]

What game are you all playing to get your football fix these days?

Stopped after fifa 17 here, nowadays those games are too disgusting, who tf would wanna play as women btw, they play worse from under 15 schoolboys teams, so fk that shit.

USWNT legend Carli Lloyd admits team lost to ‘bunch’ of 15-year-old boys before World Cup run

“They should beat us. Bigger, stronger, faster! Boys always gave us a run for our money! It was great prep,” Lloyd wrote in response.

nypost.com

When women national team considers boys u-15 team as good, then u know women's football at highest lvl is extremly terrible even compared to semi-amatour league of men's football.


I mean men can play terribly too, i know that as a polish guy, but there are limits of being a clown and getting money for it if u are professional player...

 

[IDKFA]

I normally get hundreds of hours of fun when buying these games day 1.

Nothing is changing this year. Loving the look of some of the updates this year. Can't wait!

 

[IDKFA]

I think football games desperately need a new franchise, someone new to come with a fresh take on how football translates into a videogame

I agree, EA need competition

The game has barely evolved in 25 years,

LMAO. Are you serious?

I've been playing FIFA every year since FIFA 97. To say it has barely evolved in 25 years is complete hogwash.

Go and compare last years game to FIFA 2000 on the PS1 and tell me how the game has barely evolved.

 

[Randall365]

I thought FC25 was great and bought it on PS5 and PC, so obviously I didn't get the memo!

 

[Parazels]

I expect nothing groundbreaking from these conveyor-belt games. Take a pause and create efootball a good soccer sim from scratch.

 

[Jakk]

Bro this trailer is peak brainrot, it's just an endless stream of flashing .5 second shots. Headache inducing.

Exactly, maybe I'm getting old or something, but I just don't get what's appealing about these frantic trailers with endless cuts.
