EA Sports FC 25 to Launch Major Gameplay Overhaul with Title Update 8

The update, releasing January 16, introduces over 50 changes including improvements to passing, shooting, AI behavior, and defensive mechanics.

Title Update 8 for EA Sports FC 25 is set to go live on January 16, marking the game's most extensive mid-season gameplay refresh to date.
Key gameplay changes include enhanced passing accuracy, improved shooting mechanics, and adjustments to defensive AI to reduce automated actions.
The update addresses community complaints, such as defenders catching up to faster attackers too easily and tacklebacks punishing successful defensive plays.
Offensive AI behavior has been improved, with smarter attacking runs, better offside management, and more effective positioning for forwards.
Football Ultimate Team's Rush Club Search will also receive updates, allowing players to filter search results based on specific Rush Point Bonus requirements.
