Jun-20-2025 PST

EA FC 25 is here, bringing with it a refreshed gameplay experience, new modes, and deeper progression systems. Whether you're diving into Ultimate Team or exploring Career Mode, there's a lot to take in. From earning quick coins to mastering the new Rush five-a-side mode, these seven FC 25 tips will give you a strong start and ensure you're ahead of the competition.

 

1. Jump Into Rush Mode Early

 

Say goodbye to Volta- Rush is the new, fast-paced five-a-side experience in FC 25. It's played on a condensed pitch and features unique mechanics, like blue cards that send players to a sin bin for a minute, and a designated offside line, akin to ice hockey.

 

Why you should play it:

·Available in all game modes (Career, Pro Clubs, and Ultimate Team).

·Great for leveling up youth prospects in Career Mode.

·Offers special rewards and Rush Points in Ultimate Team.

 

Tip: In multiplayer Rush, assign someone to stay deep and defend. If no one volunteers, be the anchor to secure wins and maximize rewards.

 

2. Know the Fastest Players in FC 25

 

Speed is still a powerful attribute in EA FC 25, even if Player Roles have rebalanced the meta slightly. Rapid players are invaluable on the wings or in counterattacks.

 

Pro Tip: Combine these players with pace-enhancing Chemistry Styles to push them even further. Use the top 10 speedsters to break lines and dominate in both online and offline matches.

 

3. Use All Modes to Earn Ladder Players

 

Season Ladder Players can now be earned across all game modes,  ot just Ultimate Team. Whether you're playing Pro Clubs, Career Mode, or Rush, you'll earn Season Points.

 

How to track it:

·From the main menu, press L2/LB, then navigate to Objectives.

·Press L2/LB again to switch between tasks tied to different modes.

 

Why it matters: Grinding Ladder Players this way saves time and adds variety to your gameplay routine.

 

4. Watch Out for Unlicensed Clubs

 

While AS Roma and Napoli return to EA FC this year, some major Italian clubs are missing due to licensing agreements with rival game eFootball.

 

What to know:

·Inter Milan = Lombardi FC

·AC Milan = Milano FC

·Lazio = Latium

·Atalanta = Bergamo Calcio

 

These fictional club names can be confusing, especially in Career Mode, so familiarize yourself early to avoid surprises.

 

5. The Bronze Pack Method Still Works

 

A classic for earning Ultimate Team FC 25 Coins, the Bronze Pack Method remains effective in FC 25.

 

How it works:

·To buy FC 25 Coins (750) Bronze Packs.

·Sell valuable players or items for profit.

·List cards 50 coins cheaper than the lowest Buy Now price to encourage sales.

 

Potential Earnings: You can easily earn 7,000- 10,000 coins weekly with consistent flipping.

 

6. Prioritize the Best Young Players in Career Mode

 

Youth development is more rewarding than ever, thanks to the integration of Rush into Career Mode. However, nothing beats signing a high-potential wonderkid.

 

Top Tip: Invest early in the highest-potential players aged 21 or under. Whether you're managing a lower-tier club or a top-flight team, these talents will grow rapidly and return value both on the pitch and financially.
