For the second time, the former FIFA is now appearing as EA Sports FC. The official launch of this year’s title will take place on September 27th. However, anyone who has pre-ordered EA Sports FC 25 in the Ultimate Edition can already jump onto the pitch. However, initial reviews of the new football game on Steam are not exactly a cause for celebration. Instead, the mood seems to be rather mixed and many players even advise against buying the game.
Control and controller problems
Steam is the largest platform for PC games. EA Sports FC 25 is also advertised and sold here. A particularly useful feature of the site is the reviews. They provide an insight into the mood of the players and summarize well what the current opinion of a game is. Even before the official release, FC 25 managed to tip the ratings.
Overall, only 50 percent of all reviews are positive. But what’s the problem? Most of the negative reviews talk about serious problems with the controls. From input delays to problems with the entire controller, players don’t seem to have a good start in the game. For some players, the game is completely unplayable.
Sea Steam The game does offer full controller support, but there is a catch. It only mentions Xbox controllers and DualSense controllers. Anyone who uses a different controller could have problems. This is a big problem for many PC gamers, because controllers from other manufacturers are very popular.
Disappointing gameplay
But even those who don’t have any problems with their controller aren’t necessarily happy. Many reviews describe the game as FC 24, but worse. In particular, the errors and criticisms of the last title are said to have been carried over. However, the fact that EA football games aren’t particularly well received is nothing new.
FC 24 also had to deal with mixed reviews. Despite all these problems, the games have a loyal community that enjoys the games. What the final reviews for FC 25 will be will be known at the latest when it is released. Hopefully EA will manage to fix the controller problems by then.
