Teams vs Teams

As with the FIFA games, FC 25 refines the playing experience to create a more realistic game. This year there's a focus on more ways to win for the club you build. You can team up with friends in your favourite modes with the new five-a-side mode and manage your club to victory as FC IQ delivers more tactical control than ever before.

You can choose to progress in a number of ways. For example, you can focus on the pitch as a player or become a touchline manager in the Player Career or Manager Career modes. Then there are the Ultimate Team aspects of collecting the best players by purchasing and opening football-sticker-style packs.

The result is a game that is hugely popular with football fans and players looking for a competitive challenge. Going head-to-head with friends or working through the ranks online continues to be an experience young players love.

Insights to ensure your child's gaming experience remains safe and enjoyable

Healthy competition

These games often involve competition, either against AI opponents or other players. This can be enjoyable and promote healthy competition. However, sometimes it can lead to frustration and anger, which might be a sign to take a break. Talk to your child about recognising these feelings and taking breaks when the game is no longer fun.

Improve sports skills

Video games based on sport can help children develop an interest and greater understanding of rules within the sport. Explore the sport outside of the video game to support their interests and develop their skills.

Balance with Other Activities

Children often play sport video games because of interest in the sport itself. Balance their gaming time with playing the real sport together.

Skill level age

Suggested by Family Gaming Database

7+

Younger players need to be able to cope with moving around the pitch and chasing down opponents to tackle. Quick reactions are important to shoot at the right time. Opting for easier difficulty and one button and stick controls makes this more approachable.
