Players of EA Sports FC 25 can now experience a significantly improved game with the release of FC 25 Title Update 7. This update delivers crucial fixes to Ultimate Team, implements key changes to goalkeepers, and brings other enhancements to various game modes.
EA continues to refine its latest football title based on community feedback received since the First Frost Update in December, and these latest changes are a step forward.
As the second installment in the EA Sports FC series and the 32nd overall in EA’s long-running football simulation franchise, EA Sports FC 25 launched in September 2024.
While the initial release was affected by various issues, including a movement-disrupting glitch triggered by specific command combinations that left defenders unresponsive, consistent updates incorporating player feedback have since significantly improved the game.
Following previous updates to EA Sports FC 25 Title Update 7 introduces a number of fixes and enhancements across several game modes. For Ultimate Team, this means fixes for a visual bug making Player Pick Items appear tradable, improved stability when opening packs, corrected player portrait and country flag display during walkouts, and a fix for incorrect details on double walkout items.
FC Title Update 7 Gameplay Changes
Gameplay gets some key tweaks in this update! Players won’t get pulled in so close to the ball when intercepting passes anymore, which should stop those annoying autotackles. Goalkeepers are also getting a big boost, with fixes for dodgy deflections, missed desperation saves, and those weird jumping animations.
Beyond the previously mentioned changes, the update also improves the responsiveness of skill moves, refines passing mechanics by reducing the accuracy of first-time lofted-through passes, and resolves issues with throw-in animations caused by players not receiving the ball from the ball kid correctly.
FC 25 Title Update 7 brings several improvements to Clubs and Career Mode as well, resolving UI and stability issues such as incorrect CPU avatar body types and the penalty taker AI problem that occurred after player disconnects. Career Mode also benefits from stability enhancements during player substitutions and club creation.
A Favorite Team Selector is also introduced, allowing squad and lineup saves to transfer to Seasons and Co-Op Seasons. Finally, various general, audio, and visual updates have been implemented, including refreshed tifos, kits, stadiums, and fixes for placeholder text, UI elements, camera angles, and stability.
