There are new EAS FC 25 gameplay features which improve your gaming experience, especially if you are running it on a next-gen console. We will explain, one be one, all of them.
New FC 25 Gameplay Features
The introduction of new gameplay features in Football Club 25 is of significant importance for both the players and the overall gaming experience. These features play a crucial role in enhancing the enjoyment, realism, and fun factor of the game.
With each iteration, FC aims to provide players with an immersive and authentic football simulation. The new gameplay features contribute to achieving this goal by incorporating elements that reflect the intricacies and nuances of real-world football. They can include improvements in player animations, ball physics, and AI intelligence, making the gameplay more fluid, responsive, and true to life. By continually evolving and introducing new gameplay features, FC 25 not only keeps the franchise fresh and exciting but also demonstrates a commitment to delivering a captivating and immersive football experience to players around the world.
HypermotionV
HyperMotionV Technology continues to evolve towards achieving new levels of authenticity and helps us refresh what’s possible on the pitch, bringing to FC 25 new animations that are driven by real-world volumetric data with the goal of fuelling FC IQ while making players more unique.
AI Mimic
AI Mimic technology uses numerous frames of volumetric animation, providing an additional level of detail and fluidity for over 1800 players, including more than 200 new women, ensuring a more diverse and inclusive representation of the global football community. Compared to FC 24, where we had 1,373 players with upper body movement, we’ve expanded our library to include 1,847 athletes with full body movement, encompassing both upper and lower body actions. This expansion is intended to improve the overall gameplay visuals and bring a new level of realism to the virtual pitch.
Goalkeeper Movement
In FC 25, keepers can only be manually moved 1-2 steps in any direction, with a short cooldown period after use to prevent this move from being overused repeatedly. During set pieces like corner kicks and free kicks, GK manual movement will function as it has previously. Once a corner kick is taken, GK manual movement will be limited to 1-2 steps in any direction.
GK PlayStyles
Goalkeepers will feature six new PlayStayles in FC 25:
Footwork | A goalkeeper who is known for using their feet to make difficult saves.
Rush Out | A goalkeeper who is known to often challenge attackers head-on in 1v1 situations.
Deflector | A goalkeeper who is known for having great deflection control to safer spaces.
