EA has released a new Deep Dive for FC 25 this time focusing on Clubs.
FC 25 is set to elevate the Clubs game mode with a range of new features and improvements designed to enhance gameplay, social interaction, and club management. Here’s a detailed look at what’s coming:
Clubs Rush: Fast-Paced 5v5 Action
Already revealed last week, Clubs introduces a fresh 5v5 experience with Rush that promises intense and engaging matches. Here are the main features:
- Team Setup: Play with four players and one AI goalkeeper on each side.
- Match Formats: Enjoy shorter, high-energy games on smaller pitches.
- Rewards System: Earn Victory Points (VP) for every win, contributing to your club’s rank and unlocking seasonal rewards.
- Rank Progression: Your Rush Player Rank increases or decreases based on match performance, with each season partially resetting ranks for a fresh start.
The Clubhouse: Your Personalized Hub
The Clubhouse acts as your team’s social and customization hub:
- Team Identity: Display your club’s crest, kit, and stadium bundle.
- Social Interaction: Feel like you’re in the locker room, preparing for the next match with your teammates.
- Enhanced Navigation: Quick Switcher feature allows for seamless transitions between customizing your Pro, managing your club, and joining match lobbies.
Club Facilities: Building for Success
Facilities allow your club to grow and develop, offering tangible gameplay benefits:
- Facility Types: From weight rooms to shooting coaches, each facility enhances specific attributes.
- Upgrade System: Facilities can be upgraded from 1-star to 3-star, providing greater benefits and additional PlayStyles.
- Impact: Upgrades improve attributes for all player-controlled clubmates during matches, not just AI players.
Examples of Facilities and their benefits include:
- Equipment Manager: Enhances Jumping and Stamina attributes; adds Acrobatic PlayStyle.
- Performance Analyst: Boosts Short Passing and Vision; includes Tiki Taka PlayStyle.
- Shooting Coach: Improves Long Shots and Finishing; introduces Chip Shot PlayStyle.
League Updates: Relegation Returns
The return of Relegation adds a competitive edge to league matches:
- Division Chances: Each club starts with a set number of chances in a division. Losing matches reduces these chances.
- Relegation Battle: A high-stakes match determines if your club stays in its division or drops to a lower one. Winning resets your chances, while losing results in relegation.
FC IQ/Tactics
Enhance your team’s strategic depth with the new FC IQ system:
- Tactical Roles: Set up to five distinct tactics, ensuring your AI squadmates are familiar with each role.
- Improved Communication: Updated Clubs Lobby enhances clarity and communication among players regarding their roles before matches.
Enhanced Customization
Customization reaches new levels with EA SPORTS Cranium Technology:
- Detailed Sculpting: Sculpt each aspect of your pro’s face with unprecedented detail.
- New Cosmetics: Unlock new hairstyles, facial hair, tattoos, boots, and arm sleeves in the Clubs Store.
