Today’s gaming buzz centers around the latest update for EA Sports FC 25, released on January 16, alongside the announcement of the game’s Team of the Year (TOTY) line-ups. There doesn’t seem to be much else happening in the gaming universe today.
If you participated in the voting for this year’s Ultimate Team TOTY last week, now’s the time to see if your choices made it to the final roster. Whether or not your picks are included, EA certainly provides a solid incentive to dive back into FC 25.
The finalized TOTY XIs, encompassing both men’s and women’s teams, are showcased in the graphics on the tweets below. They offer a comprehensive breakdown of each selected player, so I’ll spare you the exhaustive list of names here. If you’re curious, you can find all the details in those tweets.
Starting January 17, these exciting new cards will begin rolling out in the game, beginning with the attackers. Midfielders will join the lineup on January 19, followed by defenders and goalkeepers on January 21. The complete TOTY will be available in the Ultimate Team item pool from January 23 to January 31, with an additional 12th player for both men and women teams arriving on January 24 to complete the lineup.
In addition to the TOTY reveal, EA has rolled out a significant update for FC 25 today, aiming at a “gameplay refresh.” The developers describe it as “the most significant mid-season gameplay overhaul we’ve ever made based on your feedback.” No pressure, right?
You can read the full details of the update here, but here are the highlights:
– Major updates to key gameplay elements like passing, shooting, goalkeeping, and defending.
– Addressed issues with defenders catching up to dribblers too frequently.
– Enhanced offensive gameplay to facilitate smoother ball movement.
