FC 25 Update 14: EA Sports Releases Latest Patch to Address Gameplay and Career Mode Issues
In a bid to continually improve the gaming experience for its users, EA Sports has released the 14th update for FC 25, addressing various gameplay and Career Mode issues. According to a report from Operation Sports, the latest patch focuses on tuning the game’s defensive mechanics, particularly when players are using high-pressure tactics.
The update, which is now live on all platforms, aims to strike a balance between defensive pressure and gameplay. As noted by Operation Sports, "EA Sports released their 14th update for FC 25 today for all platforms. The focus this time is on tuning the game’s defensive mechanics, particularly when players are using high-pressure tactics." Specifically, the update significantly decreases the amount of defensive pressure AI teammates can apply when using an aggressive defensive approach with 91+ depth Defensive Tactics.
Another key change in the update is the Team Press feature, which can now stay active for up to 45 seconds, more than doubling the previous limit. However, as Operation Sports reports, "the catch is stamina drains much faster while it’s in use." In fact, the update notes that stamina depletion can result in up to 2.6 times faster stamina drain during excessive use of Team Press.
In addition to gameplay adjustments, the update also addresses various Career Mode issues. Operation Sports states that the update "addresses instances of incorrect tournament schedules" and "addresses a stability issue that could have occurred on saves created with a specific Squad Update." These changes aim to provide a more seamless and enjoyable experience for players in Career Mode.
The update also includes various general, audio, and visual improvements. According to Operation Sports, the update "updated some badges, hair, kits, equipment, tifos, and boots." Additionally, the update addresses a stability issue that could have occurred and instances of placeholder and missing text.
