With EA adding a plethora of new features to the franchise with the release ofEA Sports FC 25, many fans were hyped about its launch, but several issues negatively impacted the game’s release. For instance, some players were unable toclaim their pre-order bonuses inEA Sports FC 25. To help win back some players, the developers have released a massive update for the game that could significantly impact the game’s meta.
In a new tweet, EA announced that Title Update 3 is rolling out forEA Sports FC 25players all across the globe. While the previousEA Sports FC 25update released in Octoberwas initially released only for PC players, this new update is currently available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users. However, the developers have noted that it will be released for other platforms soon. Some of the biggest changes focus on the game’s AI. On the attacking front, players with roles like Shadow Striker, Inside Forward Attack, Inside Forward Roaming, Wide Playmaker Attack, and Wingback will take attacking runs more frequently. The overall decision-making for runs has also been improved, along with the shooting accuracy in certain situations.
The defensive awareness has also been refined, with the most notable change being made toCenter Backs inEA Sports FC 25. Fans were frustrated with defenders giving risky passes, and that issue has been addressed as part of the update. Additionally, during build-up play, the AI will now prioritize passing over simply dribbling the ball. Last but not least, the clearance accuracy has also been improved.
A series of changes have also been made to passing, with the accuracy of First Time Lobbed Through passes, trivela, and driven passes being reduced. Many players had been using First Time Lobbed Through passes extensively to penetrate the defense line, and the developers have emphasized that this change will significantly affect players with high passing attributes, effectively weakening the tactic. Considering thatthese passes were nerfed inEA Sports FC 25just a few days ago, it remains to be seen how this change will affect the meta going forward.
