EAFC25’s Controversial New Feature: A Recipe for Chaos or a Game-Changer?
EA Sports FC 25 has dropped a gameplay deep dive video, giving fans a first look at some of the new features coming to the game. And, boy, is it a doozy. Among the new additions is a highly controversial element that has fans of the series divided: professional fouls.
For the uninitiated, professional fouls will allow players to commit deliberate and obvious fouls, resulting in a guaranteed stoppage. It’s like pulling Giorgio Chiellini on Bukayo Saka in the Euro 2020 final, but in-game. EA showed off the mechanic in the gameplay video, with Federico Gatti of Juventus pulling back Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr.
The reaction from the EAFC25 community has been mixed, with some fans hailing the addition as a game-changer and others bemoaning the potential for toxicity and toxicity. "I can see the broken controllers already in," one fan joked on social media. Another added, "This gonna be so toxic, don’t think EA thought this through well enough."
So, is this new feature a recipe for chaos or a game-changer? We weigh in with our thoughts below.
The Benefits:
- Professional fouls could lead to more tactical and strategic gameplay, with teams using them to break up counter-attacks and gain possession.
- It could also lead to more realistic and authentic matches, as real-life footballers often commit professional fouls to disrupt the opposition’s flow.
- The mechanic could be used to create dramatic moments and turn the tide of the game in favor of the attacking team.
The Concerns:
- Toxicity is a major concern, as teams could use professional fouls to dominate possession and stifle their opponents’ attacks.
- It could also lead to frustration and anger among fans, especially if teams are able to use the mechanic excessively.
- The mechanic could be abused by players, leading to cheap wins and unfair advantages.
