FC 25 NINTENDO SWITCH
The Nintendo Edition of FC 25 features new features and game modes.
Nintendo Edition
Following a year with numerous updates, including a new game engine and additional game modes, the game is back with new features.
Team up with 5v5 Rush, a new way to play with friends in Football Ultimate Team™, Clubs, Kick-Off and Career Modes with small-sided gameplay. In Football Ultimate Team Rush, build your dream 5-a-side squad with up to three friends, each controlling your favourite Player Item.
Get your team playing like the world’s best with FC IQ. An overhaul of tactical foundations across the game delivers greater strategic control and more realistic collective movement at the team level, while a new AI model, powered by real-world data, influences player tactics through all-new Player Roles.
New additions to Manager and Player Career let you live out the biggest storylines from the real-world with Live Start Points; rewrite the stories of past ICONs with today’s teams in Player Career; and for the first time, play an authentic Women’s Career experience, taking control of a club or player from the top five women’s leagues.
For the first time ever, the game is released for Nintendo in the same two editions as it is for other platforms. This way, not only can you play the same game modes, you can also take advantage of pre-order offers or seven days of early access to the Ultimate Edition. Despite these advantages, its price remains reduced compared to other platforms.
Ultimate Team
UT is the most popular FC game mode and part of both editions, which means you can play it on your Nintendo Switch console. The goal is to build your dream team, but you need to play matches to earn coins, use the transfer market to buy and sell player items, play with the chemistry, complete objectives and squad building challenges, and much more.
Nintendo Switch players are able to experience major modes like Champions, Rivals & Squad Battles, plus Evolutions & Objectives that reward you for playing matches. Also, all Seasons and Campaigns will feature in FC 25 for Switch.
