When playing FC 25, the choice you make on Players is crucial. Because this first determines the strength of your team and then determines the probability of your victory in the game. How to choose Players who are as strong or suitable for your team as possible? You can refer to and choose the specific Ratings of the Players in the game to ensure that your FC 25 Coins will not be wasted. Of course, the first thing you may do is to avoid Players with low Ratings. However, there are some Players whose overall Ratings are not low, but whose performance has been poor recently, resulting in a decrease in Rating in the game. So you need to be very careful when facing them. According to relevant data, Ratings of seven Players in EA FC 25 have been significantly reduced. This has to be a cause for concern, because some of them are even quite familiar to Players. Here are the seven Players whose Ratings were lowered in FC 25: 1. Casemiro Casemiro’s Rating dropped from 89 in EA FC 24 to 84 in EA FC 25. In fact, not only did his Rating drop, his data in FC 25 was also much worse than before, which was very unsatisfactory. His poor performance was mainly reflected in his Pace and Agility in the game. After a year of poor form in United, his Pace dropped by 25, and his Agility was also much worse than before, which was very criticized. In fact, Casemiro’s current Rating in FC 25 is 84. It is his lowest Rating since FIFA 17. To be honest, as a Player who had performed well before, this has to make people feel sorry for him. 2. Marcus Rashford Compared with Casemiro, the drop in Marcus Rashford’s Rating from 85 in EA FC 24 to 81 in EA FC 25 does not seem so cruel. Because as a winger, Marcus Rashford was out of form for most of the 2023-24 season. It makes people wonder whether he is focusing on his sports career. In FC 24, Rashford was the third-highest rated Player in United. But in FC 25, he just barely made it into the top 10. However, although Rashford’s Rating has dropped, he still has his own unique advantages. His Pace reached an astonishing 89 in FC 25, which can be said to be quite amazing. Therefore, this can also be used as an important reference for you to choose Players in FC 25. 3. Karim Benzema This French Player has a Rating of 90 in FC 24. However, since he joined Al-Ittihad last summer, he has not performed well. He also failed to perform well in the Saudi Pro League, as most people expected. In FC 25 his Rating dropped to 86. In the Last Season, he only scored nine League Goals. Moreover, based on his performance in the 2023-24 season, the Rating of 86 is not even low for him. 4. Borja Iglesias To be honest, it is not surprising that Iglesias’ Rating has dropped. In the 2023-24 season, he failed to score a Single Goal for the Club during the Loan Spell In Second Half of Last Season. Although Iglesias won some silverware at Bayer Leverkusen, it could not make up for his poor performance in the Second Half of Last Season. Therefore, his Rating dropped from 83 in FC 24 Rating to 78 in FC 25 Rating. 5. Aaron Ramsdale Since he spent the entire season at Bench, it is not so surprising that Ramsdale’s Rating dropped from 84 in FC 24 to 81 in FC 25. I hope he can find his form and regain his glory after joining Southampton. 6. Ciro Immobile In the last season, Italian Player Immobile failed to hit double figures in Serie A for the first time since the 2015–16 season. After playing for Lazio for ten years, he moved to Besiktas this summer to continue his sports career. Although his Rating dropped from 85 in FC 24 to 82 in FC 25, Immobile’s performance after joining Besiktas has not been disappointing. In his First Six Games with Turkey, he scored seven goals. 7. Antony When United spent a lot of money to sign Antony a few years ago, they probably didn’t expect that his Rating in EA FC 25 would drop from 81 in EA FC 24 to 77. The Brazilian Player only produced two goals in Premier League in Last Season, which can be said to be a very unsatisfactory performance. Therefore, it seems to be expected that his Rating has such a big drop. The performance of these seven Players is not good enough, so Rating of FC 25 is lowered. Although Rating is not the only reference factor when you choose Players, it has unique reference value after all and deserves your attention.

Sports fans! The highly anticipated EA FC 25 is set to be released on September 27th. The new game features an exciting new mode - Rush mode. It changes the traditional football game with a high-energy 5v5 format. This mode places great emphasis on fast-paced action and strategic flexibility in the field, providing players with a brand new way to play football video games. Whether you are building your Ultimate Team or leading your team to Manager Career Championship, Rush will bring you a lot of new game experience. This guide will give you an introduction to this new mode in FC 25, so that you can familiarize yourself with it before entering the game and make full use of it in the game. Without further ado, please prepare your FC 25 Coins to experience Rush mode! General Features In EA Sports FC 25’s Rush mode, your team is composed of 5 players, 4 of which are outfield players controlled by you, and the remaining one is an AI-controlled goalkeeper. This setting can be used in various modes in the game, including but not limited to Ultimate Team Rush, Clubs Rush and Manager Career Youth Academy Tournament. It is important to note that if you are disconnected in the middle of a game or actively quit the game, the AI ​​will seamlessly take over your players to ensure that the game can continue. Although in most online ball games, goalkeepers are controlled by AI, they are more or less strategically guided by the captain of the current team. The captain can issue commands to sprint or adjust positions, which adds a layer of tactical depth. However, in Kick-Off Rush and Manager Career Rush, you have full control over all players of the entire team, including the goalkeeper, which is more conducive to learning tactics and strategies. Unique Features Race To Ball The most prominent feature in Rush mode is Race to Ball at the beginning of each game. Two football launchers located on the center line will randomly launch a ball at different speeds and heights, and then the subsequent game will start based on this ball. Race to Ball adds some unpredictable excitement to the game and also reduces determining the starting position. The most important thing is that when you control the players to get the key first possession of the ball, you will have an extraordinary sense of excitement and satisfaction. Fluid Positioning As mentioned earlier, Rush focuses on flexibility, which is mainly reflected because it allows you to position flexibly and smoothly, rather than fixed player positions. You can dynamically switch the positions and battles between the five players throughout the game, which is very helpful for you to cultivate strategic thinking and teamwork spirit. Of course, when the game is suspended, you can choose whether to rearrange the positions based on the last positions of these players, and then you need to communicate and coordinate continuously. Pitch Dimensions Since it is a 5V5 game, the number of people has decreased, and the size of the field will also become smaller. It is currently understood that the field size in Rush mode is 63.7 x 46.6 meters, which is about 41.5% of a normal football field. This smaller square field is very suitable for lateral ball transfer, which is also a side exercise for your ball skills. Although the field has become smaller, the width remains unchanged as a whole, because it is necessary to avoid a crowded game experience. In addition, key areas such as the penalty area and midfield area are proportionally reduced, allowing you to feel more realistically that it is no different from a normal stadium. Match Length And Tie-Breaking In Rush mode, the match is a 7-minute match with no halftime break, unless the ball goes out of bounds. If the score is tied after the 7-minute countdown, a 2-minute 20-second Golden Goal Extra Time will be entered. If the score is still tied in this case, a 1-on-1 Penalty Shootout will be conducted. If you or your opponent is about to shoot when the countdown ends, don’t worry, because there is a Buzzer Beater rule and the game can continue. Offside And Blue Card Rush mode introduces a modified offside rule from current football games - a dotted line is used to mark the offside area in each offensive zone. This adjustment reduces the congestion of the entire stadium and maintains the smoothness of the game. In addition, Rush mode will use Blue Card for serious offenders and ban them for 1 minute. If two Yellow Cards have been received during the game, they will also face the same punishment as Blue Cards. AI-controlled goalkeepers are not subject to these penalties. No Substitutions In Rush mode, there are no substitutions, which means you need to keep an eye on each player’s stamina. This will help you keep the game fast-paced and reduce interruptions. However, Offline Modes like Kickoff and Manager Career allow you to adjust your starting lineup before the match. Once selected, it cannot be changed, so be sure to think twice before selecting players. Alternatively, you can use some FC 25 Coins to upgrade some players so that they are always in the starting lineup. Ping System Ping System in Rush mode provides a visual way to signal your intentions to your teammates. By flicking the right stick, you can send arrows to indicate their desired actions, thereby improving coordination and tactical decision-making in the game. The above is some information about the Rush mode that you will experience in FC 25, which will be officially launched on September 27. I hope you can use this new mode to learn more about the skills and strategies in the field and lead your team to win more victories.
