A Few Words About EA SPORTS FC

EA SPORTS FC25 is the second instalment in the football game series that replaced the FIFA franchise, also created by EA since 1993. Interestingly, EA SPORTS FC25 marks the thirty-first football game released by the company.

Despite the name change, the FC series has retained its release system and licences, including those for clubs, players, and stadiums. The gameplay continues to focus on playing football matches in career mode or against other players — either locally or online.

5v5 Rush Deep Dive

Rush mode is one of the many new features introduced in EA SPORTS FC25. It’s a special game mode where traditional 11v11 matches are replaced by games played between teams of 5 players on a smaller pitch.

5v5 Rush is available in variants such as Football Ultimate Team, Clubs, Quick Matches, and Career. Up to four players can control the footballers, with the goalkeeper managed by AI.

While offering the same core experience as classic matches, Rush mode stands out for several reasons. First, the match begins with a race between the players to the ball placed at the halfway line. Offside rules work differently in this mode as well. There are no red cards — instead, blue cards result in temporary exclusion from the game.

Draws are decided by a Golden Goal. Additionally, matches are faster-paced and less exhausting for the players. But that’s not all! We would rather not reveal all the spoilers — let the release take you by surprise!Sound exciting? Absolutely! So, all that’s left for us to do is wait until September 27th!
