I’ve been playing it for about a week. Honestly, the gameplay does feel smoother this year, especially with the new physics system. Passing and ball control are much better. If you wanna check what exactly changed, EA posted all the patch notes and features here: https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-fc/fc25. Still, career mode is kind of the same old story… but Ultimate Team is surprisingly fun now.

Yeah, I agree. The gameplay feels more natural, but the AI defending drives me nuts sometimes. I swear the CPU defenders suddenly turn into prime Maldini when you’re about to score 😂 Also, anyone else notice how the lighting in night matches looks way more realistic this time?

Exactly! That’s what I was wondering about. I watched a few comparison videos, and it looks better, but you can never tell if that’s just YouTube compression or not. Do you think it’s worth switching from FIFA 23 if you mostly play online matches?

If you’re into online play, then yes, for sure. The servers feel more stable (at least for me), and the skill-based matchmaking seems less brutal. I haven’t faced as many sweats as before. Also, I found this cool breakdown on Reddit about how the new engine affects player stamina and momentum — worth a read if you’re into the stats side of the game.

Oh, nice find! I’ll check that out later. And yeah, the matchmaking feels better this time. Still, I wish they’d improve the reward system; grinding Division Rivals feels endless.

True. I miss the old Weekend League days when getting an 84+ player felt like an achievement. Now it’s all about grinding packs and luck. But alright, you guys convinced me — I’ll give FIFA 25 a shot this weekend. If it sucks, I’m blaming both of you 😂

Haha, deal! Let us know how it goes. Maybe we can set up some online friendlies later — I’ve been testing different tactics this season.

Hey, ik ben zelf niet zo’n voetbalfanaat, maar soms wil ik gewoon even ontspannen en ontdekte ik toevallig blazing wildz casino, waar ze voor spelers uit Nederland speciale bonussen aanbieden. Ik begon met een paar rondes op Starburst, eerst met wat verliezen, maar na een beetje meer risico pakte ik ineens een flinke winst die echt mijn avond opvrolijkte. Sindsdien gebruik ik zulke momenten om even los te komen van games of sportupdates en gewoon wat plezier te hebben.
