Key Takeaways
- EA Sports FC 25’s latest PC update fixed menu lag, stability issues, and a defending bug.
- Users await the update on console.
- The patch notes reveal fixes for Ultimate Team, Squad Battles, and controller issues as well.
EA Sports FC 25 has received an all-new update on PC that brings a plethora of changes to the game, including a fix for the sluggish menu, which the community was quite frustrated with. EA Sports FC 25 fans had previously expressed their concerns about various stability issues affecting multiple game modes, especially Ultimate Team, and it seems like the developers have addressed quite a few of those as part of this update.
There was a lot of hype around the release of EA Sports FC 25, with Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham featured on the cover art and a plethora of exciting features coming in the new installment. However, many in the community have noted that EA Sports FC 25 isn’t as polished as previous installments. For instance, a very frustrating defending bug in EA Sports FC 25 allows players to completely bypass the barrier for set pieces, giving them an unfair advantage over their opponents. Meanwhile, the developers have released a new update, but there is a catch.
EA Sports FC 25 has revealed that a new update is being rolled out for users. The most striking aspect of the patch notes is the fixes to the menu, as fans were quite annoyed with how it lagged. Issues affecting various online modes have been fixed as well, with users previously reporting that EA Sports FC 25 would be unresponsive in the initial moments after kickoff. Manager Career was quite problematic for many players too, as they reported that there is no option to train a player into a CB or CDM in EA Sports FC 25. The update also addresses issues related to Manager Career, so fans are hoping that this bug gets resolved.
It is crucial to note that this update is currently limited to PC players, and it is not known yet when it will be released on consoles. Notably, players will not be able to utilize the crossplay feature until the update is rolled out for console players as well. This means that players on Xbox Series X/S or PlayStation 5 will not be able to play with PC players, and vice versa. With pre-order bonuses still being bugged for some EA Sports FC 25 console players, many are hoping that the update will address those problems as well.
The majority of the fixes are tied to EA Sports FC 25‘s Ultimate Team mode. Apart from fixing the stability issues in Squad Battles and tweaking the Evolution confirmation message, the update also addresses the bugs in the Store, which have been significantly hindering the user experience in Ultimate Team. While the update brings several quality-of-life improvements, fans are still eagerly awaiting fixes for the game’s core mechanics.
