A Fresh New Way to Play and Win Together with Rush
Integrated across Ultimate Team™, Clubs, Kick-Off and Career Mode in EA SPORTS FC™ 25, Rush is an all-new 5v5 experience that harnesses the same gameplay controls and true-to-football mechanics of 11v11. Players can hit the pitch together with friends in groups of four and an AI-controlled goalkeeper to put their chemistry to the test across a range of game types. In a single player, fast-paced experience in Manager Career, Rush will have players take control of their Youth Academy development throughout the season with new playable 5v5 tournaments.
FC IQ Takes the World’s Game to the Next Level
FC IQ will overhaul the game’s tactical foundations to deliver more strategic control, smarter teammates, individual Player Roles, and more authentic collective movement in every 11v11 match. A new AI model that’s powered by real-world data from some of the greatest teams in football, FC IQ influences how players think and behave on the pitch through all-new Player Roles. Team tactics and more realistic collective movement modernizes positioning at both ends of the pitch which changes how each team plays, offering greater variation from match-to-match.
