EAFC25 Career Mode introduces biggest change in years but fans aren't convinced

Details about the new EA FC game have emerged and one Career Mode alteration has prompted plenty of reaction.

EA Sports 25 will feature a new change to Career Mode but fans are not overly enthused by it.

The official trailer for the brand new game dropped on Tuesday, with cover star Jude Bellingham heavily featured throughout.

And EA have continued to share information about new additions to the game, as they hype up the release later this year.

Career Mode is one of the most popular features and has been for a number of years now.

But fans have grown frustrated with the lack of effort put into Career Mode, which has largely remained the same bar a couple of alterations.

This time around, however, EA have revealed that a handful of legendary players known as 'Icons' will be playable at launch.

Past players are traditionally only available in Ultimate Team but Andrea Pirlo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Kelly Smith and Thierry Henry can all be called upon in Player Career Mode.

Those who pre-order the Ultimate Edition also get more greats in Ronaldo Nazario, Zinedine Zidane, and David Beckham.

EA gives the description: "Rewrite the stories of past ICONS with today's teams in Player Career".

But while the nostalgia is nice, the experienced seems somewhat limited and doesn't appear to allow players to delve into the era the Icon in question played in.

One fan reacted: "Who asked for this?

A second echoed the view, writing: "They just haven't listened to anything we have been asking for have they?"

A third said: "Is this anything we asked for tho?"

A fourth added: "Player career with icons is just so bad imo, just like F1 with former drivers (legends). Not any good about it imo as I like somewhat realism."

Another fumed: "Makes no sense."

A final person vented: "EA adds 20-30 retired players and thinks that it's enough for career mode."

Other new additions include being able to play an authentic Women's Career experience, Live Start points, the introduction of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano and a revamped youth academy.

Interestingly, EA have also removed the 4-3-2-1 formation - as well as three different positions.
