Am I the only one who notices how EA FC players most of the time, during their runs, mostly when they run in possession, their steps are not relative to their speed. You'll find a player with slow feet movement, but high speed. It doesn't always happen, but if you really pay attention you'll see it. It is probably why players feel like they are floating when you dribble with the left analog, they turn so fast, its like the ground is glass and they are wearing socks, it doesn't feel real at all. I don't know if I am making sense, but this is the only reason I prefer Konami Efootball over EA FC when it comes to gameplay.
Foot planting. Yep, you're not the only one. Is it too much to ask to have rigged animated footballers actually planting their feet in the turf before accelerating?
Difference is, everything else is the fluff that is relatively easy to add once Konami has the resources for it. EAFC to improve game play? Likely not.

The shirt movement isn't realistic. I see the shirts move as if the fabric is made of some elastic rubber. I think they exaggerated with the shirt movement
As an offline player, career mode is surprisingly good with all the updates EA have made this year. Imo this is the closest we've come to the highs of Pes 21. Time will tell if it surpasses that. FL doesn't do it for me anymore.
The thing about EA FC is that when you purchase it for 59 dollars, you know what you are getting. And that is because the publisher and developers know what they are going for. They are going for an arcade quick game, that is meant to be played multiplayer, where you collect the best cards to build the best team, and grind the divisions, and collect the reward in the weekend. And all of that is packaged in a slick and modern package, that contains stunning visuals and amazing menus, which respects the 59 dollars that you paid. And EA FC puts eFootball to shame in this aspect. eFootball gives way better gameplay, but also a gameplay with a lot of issues, and that's it. EA FC is not going for realism, they are going for arcade quick play, that's meant to be played with friends or online, and they are clear about that. And eFootball is the complete opposite of that. They change the gameplay and the gameplay speed almost every season, they rely on horrid menus, and the they use horrible looking cutscenes and celebrations, and they rarely update anything, and to date, eFootball still feels like a lifeless prototype. The community has been complaining about the menus, the input delay that still reaches 31ms at times, the turf, the graphics, master league, modes...etc, and Konami literally gave us the middle finger with eFootball 2025, where they gave us the same sh*, just with a different name, new cards, and an apology from the admin.

hey, from my POV of giving eFootball a 2 years hiatus, at least the menus are not glaringly illogical or extremely tedious: they cranked them from horrible all the way up to mediocre :).
The best sliders for me has been copying simulation settings but knocking pass speed down to 25-30. Makes a big difference as it cuts down on the occurrence of balls zipping a 100km/h at times. Even with that being said, I really really like the simulation gameplay this year. I can definitely understand the argument of "why would you want it to be super realistic and slow" and the gameplay this year has really found the perfect balance of it. The game is slow in tempo but can ramp up, and for once, keepers are actually decent. They catch what theyre supposed to, make great saves, and in general you just don't feel like there's much more that could be done about it. I know mods will eventually come but out of box this was a really nice surprise
Efootball gameplay is the best, but come on 1 or 2 three game tournaments every Monday and Thursday and divisions has become so boring with the endless production line of cards it’s become more like a panini card game than a football game we just need more modes
You know, I'm watching this and I still have that feeling that it's plastic toys moving on green texture. It's still almost same fifa17 but with new lights. That's it.
I've been waiting for this Spoony. My verdict. I find it slower than 24 and seems to have a little more controll over the players which i like. Graphically I don't see that much of a difference but the shadows and lighting have improved very well. The crowds are incredible with the chants as usual. Passing is good, very good in fact, probably the best its ever been. I aslo like that you can't just walk through a defence as well. Presentation is on point and the player animations have improved I find. The shape of the teams are also very very good especially the line of defence. I found it very easy tonget away from a defender in FC 24 and it seems much better for the defender this time round, I like that they're much more organised. Out of 10, I'd give this a 7 so far. Lets see what the updates bring
@@LeeCarrick14 I agree about a 7 is right. It's just lacking something.... I love the player weight, passing all good. Think the shooting and goalies need work. Soon as Saka was in, I just knew it was a goal.
@@SpoonyPizzas It feels more like a football game I think. I'm enjoying it. Hope you're enjoying it too. I get what you mean about the soul. Nice goals though 😉 Looking forward to some more videos mate
@@DangerManQ For efootball? sure. But for FC 25, you kinda have to use money to purchase the game in order to play it, just letting you know 😊 (i wouldn’t if i was you)
@@kipsifoh it's definitely a big improvement with the simulation sliders. I just find simulation sliders make it feel a little flat at times. Not that end to end buzz - it's not the right pace of a real football match, the tactics are much improved though. Players doing what they're actually told to do. They behave much better now. I still find the actual style, such as counter attack, doesn't have enough influence but player instructions do. Definitely better than 24....but not enough so for me to purchase it this year
@@SpoonyPizzas How many games have you played? And make sure you have dynamic CPU on instead of tactical as that makes games so unique. I’ve found many end to end games, open games where i dribble more, etc
@@SpoonyPizzas Other than what @kipsifoh recommended, you can also adjust "run frequency" in the sliders which in the past has mostly impacted how end to end the gameplay becomes. The higher it is the higher the pace of play.
The bottle line is, if you like online pvp play eafc 25, as there is no scripting on your input command. unlike efootball, which is heavily scripted online. And if you like offline mode, just play efootball 2025 as you can manage the scripting against the AI
@@SekolahEfootball If you want to believe the game isn't scripted, that's your choice-I'm not here to argue. But I won't play a game where my defender, with 90 jumping and 90 heading, gets outperformed by someone with only 60 in both, jumping higher and heading the ball better. In EA FC 25, I have full control of my players and defense, unlike in eFootball, where interceptions seem scripted, shot blocking is unreliable, or my goalkeeper and players suddenly switch off in the 89th minute of the game, letting the other team win, even when I have 70% possession and 15 shots.
@@trugaminglegend nothing is 100% bro, just like in real life football. Even if you have higher jump, height and heading there is a time you will lose aerial duel, most of the times you will win but its not 100%.
@@SekolahEfootball 🤣🤣 What you just said is nonsense. Are you seriously telling me that controlling my players shouldn't be 100% accurate?

@spoony I just have 1 important question for me, does this game simply have a normal football Premier season? 38 games, real squad and just a full season! Also if so if you finish in the top 4 do you get to play in the Champions league? I'm not interested in any other mode. Thank you... Oh is pc version ok?
Couldn’t wait for your review as I thought you were sure to talk about the new cpu sliders. I wanna see if it really has an impact on gameplay for the Ai
No worries man. It’s just you mentioned in this video the Ai passing too much in simulation mode. Apparently you can control all that in the new cpu sliders. I haven’t heard anything in depth regarding these sliders. You and TheTruBrits could maybe do a video on them and their impact. See if we can get an enjoyable game. Thanks.
It seems much better than EA FC24. I would go for a slower pace to make it more realistic, considering the limitations of the engine used by EA. I enjoyed this video way more than all ther other videos about EA FC24 I've seen. It's an upgrade for sure. Is it the best football game in terms of gameplay? Hmmm not, but they are getting there maybe. eFootball gameplay + EA FC25 environment would be the best game, not perfect but the way to go.
I like the sim sliders, but I had to up the sprint speed a bit to get rid of the hamster wheel effect. Honestly, it's not a bad game in my opinion. It still doesn't have that bit of magic that PES has, in terms of player movement and ball physics, but it's fun and the amount of content is crazy. I like the newest version of eFootball, but man, on PS5 that shit'll make your eyes bleed. I'm pretty sure they're running it at 1080p. EA FC is gorgeous by comparison.
What I do like here is that the AI doesn't look overpowered. How is the control of the players though, is it still a bit floaty? It still looks to me like the players are skating on the pitch.
@@ClapperDan not all teams but man city... it's taken the flair out of the game. Grealish not allowed to beat a player one Vs one but they still happen often.
Putting gameplay aside I love the addition of the playstyle plusses feature but shame they moved the feature of moving players position around with the button. You either have 2 cdm's or 2 cm's now and won't be able to do a mix and match. Not quite sure why they did it like this.. For me passes sometimes go to the wrong player. Normal crossing is still a bit hard to score from and even crossing with Beckham from the wing from the Soccer Stars team in offline has no power and quality in the cross or am I missing something and don't know how to properly cross in the new Fifa's.. Most times I save and then everything reverts back to default especially the controller settings when starting up the game again.
@@gamingkingpin5481 horrendous on pc ngl haha. I've had tearing. On ultra for 3070 rtx and monster CPU it was really bad FPS 20-25. I set everything to auto.
I think I've finally realised why I find fifa so unnatural. It really seems like you're actually just controlling the ball, and then the engine is then finding a matching animation. I'm guessing it feels more responsive this way but the constant foot sliding looks horrible to me.
It's interesting you saying it lacks soul, I watch my son playing EAFC24 and he gets bored. Back in the day if PES ML on PES 2/3/4/5/6. It always had that one more game feeling.
Spoony, do we know if Master League is coming? I hope it is man, because the gameplay IS SO GOOD now and reminds of the old PES games.... Hope someone can answer my question lol
Hello, could you make a slider set similar to pes/efootball? I remember your video: PES Gameplay Sliders Fifa22 and it was fantastic. I hope you repeat it this year.
I am a veteran pes and fifa player since 1998. I play only offline. Fc 25 is one of the best in fifa series. I have to disagree. It's not souless its a great package. Its the best package of football game out there and thanks God we have a complete game at least.
@@SandrosCoronado You can copy the simulation settings and make some tweaks by yourself. For example you can low the run frequency for cpu or the pass speed etc
i think you should sit with game more and tweak the sliders. trust me, as an old die hard pro evo fan, ea fc with matt10 sliders and a bit of my adjustments on top of it, the game is super addicting just like the good old pro evo days. a true possession based slow challenging gameplay
@@outcast-tk3gv I found his sliders from the past kill the joy and came a passing sim. Again, they're not for me but I get why people like those. Just suck the enjoyment and challenge out for me personally. Like I said, I think I'll prefer default sliders (which I'm yet to try) as I prefer the high speed challenge but maybe tone down the passing a bit.
On 15 min, 0:0 , they pick Halad as "player of the match" ..... what ?? FC gameplay is still bad for me, but the biggest problem the game to look so .. stiff and robotic is animations, mostly the passing animations, when designing an animation there is: 1) preparation / leg swing, 2) hitting the ball, 3) finishing animation in FC in most cases 1) and 3) is non-existent, skips or is speed up, and barely noticeable, doesn't match of the speed and direction of the pass/ball, so the animations look weird and unnatural.

Skills be damned, I just want realistic pace, player movement and defense to begin with. EA’s game is STILL footy’s equivalent of ice hockey after all these years.
Seen guys already saying they regretted getting the game after day 1 lol. I warned people that this would happen when they were releasing the trailers but they didn’t wanna listen. Happens every single year but people are always hooked to a new game like it’s a shiny toy. Problem is, the game rarely changes but minor stuff that everyone’s sick and tired of in a week. Around October, there’s always complaint videos and I bet they’ll be stacked this year. It’s just going to be another year of rage and risk of health problems (that’s if you can control your anger and many people can’t as the game is broken and you will lose it at some point) Glad I didn’t succumb to getting this garbage especially after the shambles that was fc24😂.
The cut scenes are nice, but who actually watches them other than for the first one or two games or to show your grandma how cool the game is? EA: put that much energy into the perfecting the game play and then we shall talk.
Ok so im flicking between simulation mode on World Class and Professional, WC seems very slow, professional too fast and easy & the 50/50 custom - classic mode seems way to fast.
Should probably called it EA FC 24.5 really... same as last year in most areas, additional on entrance scene and bit more, but not affecting the gameplay overall.
anyone who loves football play just to efootball!!In 2025 it s impossible play to a ridiculous game like FC25 that shows nothing about football,but it shows just a typical ridiculous arcade ping pong hockey game!!This is the reality!Efootball is the only and best simulation of the football ever on console about gameplay!
Mate efootball has become ping pong as well are you blind anyone who hates themselves plays efootball because it's such an empty shell efootball doesn't even have a real football pitch it looks like concrete painted in green gimme a break efootball is a mobile game for broke people
@@SpoonyPizzas in actual fact fc25 without mods can feel like pes i sat for 15 hours with the settings and got it to feel extremely good basically use the simulation sliders down the passing to 40 or up to 44 increase put the speed to 50 and accelleration to 51 and then tweak the cpu sliders drop how mucj they dribble and how quickly they pass also drop build up and you will see how great this game plays without mods
For me it's the closest to PES it's ever been. You cant just sprint past defenders anymore, you use it more like a burst and use patient build up play like PES. Obviously still not as good as the older pes gameplay but its a step in the right direction. Hopefully they won't ruin it with future updates but I'm not holding my breath 🙃
the only reason i play efootball now is because of the finesse dribbling and sprint being so intuitive and easy and nice to use... Theres no content to the game. Maybe i will give ea 25 a shot for career mode.
One thing for sure FIFA/EA FC being a complete mess in terms of gameplay animations is at the same time underrated and enjoyable. And has never been a soulless game, there was always so much going on. We well know which game with its realistic gameplay is absolutely plain and soulless unfortunately....
Someone please explain to me why the Arsenal mascot kids are being taken out on to the pitch by the Man City players? That doesn't happen, that's not what fans would want lol
It's probably because whoever designed the child mascot system did it based on some European nations version were they do lead the opposite teams kits out Serie A is an example of this it's annoying but it works in select leagues atleast.
To me every football game after Ps2 pes are souless,on both fifa and pes sides. Someone less someone more... I played and replayed a lot of football games in last 2 years, from old ps2 pes to the last fc24. Winning Eleven 10 liveware Evolution is still my favorite football game ever,followed by pes5. But i (re)discovered how much good fifa16 was, and how much overrated,in my opinion, pes2020/21 are (i prefer 2020 to 21 anyways). My first fifa,after my return to pes in 2019,was fifa 23. I hated the game so much, and fc24 aswell. Actually i am very surprised with this fc25 sim mode,i am appreciating it a lot. I find it a lot better than efootball,which is a pressing/counterattack/end to end fest... Fc25 could look weird with its skating,but has a lot more depth than efootball. I don't love it like We10le/pes5 but it is really a good game
FC25 is a step in the right direction. Unlike Konami, EA have put on some effort. Career mode is improved and the gameplay has improved as well along with new tactics settings. Get rid of the ice skating, stop giving cat reflexes to players, improve ball physics and then there's no looking back for FC25. eFootball can bite the dust if they don't up their game and keep giving us a mobile game in the name of a "next gen experience".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!are you serious??🤣🤣🤣🤣you know nothing about football so for this reason you love to play to horrible ridiculous easy hockey ping pong for children fc 25!!🤣🤣🤣
EAFC has the same issues FIFA had, all players and teams feel and play the same. Offline is really dull, the hype and cut scenes are nice at the start but you find you quickly start skipping them.
I know a lot of people trash EA. I was one of them, however, with FIFA 22 to now. They at least add more features and are listening or somewhat listening to PES fans. I don't think gameplay will get better until a new engine? Just my opinion. I've been buying it just to support them again. I haven't bought EA FIFA games since 14. As long as EA tries, I'll keep buying.
Eafc is perfect till it comes to defending how you have to hold contain and shimmy around endlessly looks so unrealistic then and it’s bloody annoying and frustrating other than that it’s pretty good
It's an eyesore to watch Spoons. And I don't mean that from an "eFootball / PES or nothing" standpoint, -as I'm someone who has gone to Fifa in the past as my go-to footy game when I tired of Konami's laziness. But this is so very much worse than the Fifa games that did get my time like FIFA18 to 22. The gameplay has completely regressed. Like they can add all the glitz, glam & modes (simulation included) they want, but it still feels and looks like elasticated spastic hawks skating around a beach ball. There's just no weight or physicality to it. Every single kick, pass, shot, cross or turn defies the laws of gravity & physics. If we have to compare, eFootball even as a glorified demo & card rinser, is so superior to this that it ain't even the same sport. Hard pass.
@@Galfano10Gaming definitely more weight on the ball and players in simulation mode. Not tried normal mode TBF but eFootball rn feels so good rn. Definitely needs some tweaking around first touch, needs a touch of responsiveness as it can affect online play
You EA fans were robbed again. I’m not paying for realistic wrinkles on a shirt or 80’s euroband hairstyles to play dress up with. I want realistic gameplay physics and that’s where the real fun is. Multiplayer matches are a mess too. Konami is still king of the virtual pitch.

Graphically I don't see that much of a difference but the shadows and lighting have improved very well. The crowds are incredible with the chants as usual. Passing is good, very good in fact, probably the best its ever been. I aslo like that you can't just walk through a defence as well. Presentation is on point and the player animations have improved I find. The shape of the teams are also very very good especially the line of defence. I found it very easy tonget away from a defender in FC 24 and it seems much better for the defender this time round, I like that they're much more organised. Out of 10, I'd give this a 7 so far. Lets see what the updates bring
@@LeeCarrick14 I agree about a 7 is right. It's just lacking something.... I love the player weight, passing all good. Think the shooting and goalies need work. Soon as Saka was in, I just knew it was a goal.
@@SpoonyPizzas It feels more like a football game I think. I'm enjoying it. Hope you're enjoying it too. I get what you mean about the soul. Nice goals though 😉 Looking forward to some more videos mate
Isn't it normally good when it first comes out but gameplay becomes poor in later patch updates?
@@slashthe2ndOf course. That's how they make the new ones look good which is why we said wait till the updates lol
@@slashthe2nd usually the case!!
Hello guys!!!! This year Fc with simulation mode is really good!!! But only on simulation mode!!!
It's still too fast you would have to deal with settings and sliders to make it much better.
@@gearer11 no it isn't so fast. Its ok i think
Of course it's worth playing over efootball,there is nothing to do in efootball! And I'm a long time PES man,but I will definitely be buying FC25.
you’ll get bored unless you use gameplay mods
@@testervee4110 how? theres a lot now even with the youth prospects. efootball is a mess. no mods, no soul, boring commentary, presentation etc
@@DangerManQ i dont play efootball and i certainly woudnt pay for fc25 with that dragon ball z football
@@testervee4110 sure mate you do you 😂😂 little do you know you don't have to pay a cent to play it but you do you
@@DangerManQ For efootball? sure.
But for FC 25, you kinda have to use money to purchase the game in order to play it, just letting you know 😊 (i wouldn’t if i was you)
EA every year checklist:
1. Football with bowling balls ✅
Having a ball with FC 25, cant lie.
@@kipsifoh it's definitely a big improvement with the simulation sliders. I just find simulation sliders make it feel a little flat at times. Not that end to end buzz - it's not the right pace of a real football match, the tactics are much improved though. Players doing what they're actually told to do. They behave much better now. I still find the actual style, such as counter attack, doesn't have enough influence but player instructions do. Definitely better than 24....but not enough so for me to purchase it this year
@@SpoonyPizzas How many games have you played? And make sure you have dynamic CPU on instead of tactical as that makes games so unique. I’ve found many end to end games, open games where i dribble more, etc
@@SpoonyPizzas Other than what @kipsifoh recommended, you can also adjust "run frequency" in the sliders which in the past has mostly impacted how end to end the gameplay becomes. The higher it is the higher the pace of play.
I'll give that a try! @@kipsifoh
@SpoonyPizzas I do reduce the cpu dribbling which couldn't do before in the sliders yes skill important but they do it so fast on default.
any actual gameplay difference from fc 24 (mainly shooting and passing)? is the pc version better optimized this year?
what sliders did you use? and can you make a video of your tactics.
The bottle line is, if you like online pvp play eafc 25, as there is no scripting on your input command. unlike efootball, which is heavily scripted online.
And if you like offline mode, just play efootball 2025 as you can manage the scripting against the AI
I play efootball and Wtf is this scripting input command bs bro? 😅
@@SekolahEfootball If you want to believe the game isn't scripted, that's your choice-I'm not here to argue. But I won't play a game where my defender, with 90 jumping and 90 heading, gets outperformed by someone with only 60 in both, jumping higher and heading the ball better.
In EA FC 25, I have full control of my players and defense, unlike in eFootball, where interceptions seem scripted, shot blocking is unreliable, or my goalkeeper and players suddenly switch off in the 89th minute of the game, letting the other team win, even when I have 70% possession and 15 shots.
@@trugaminglegend nothing is 100% bro, just like in real life football.
Even if you have higher jump, height and heading there is a time you will lose aerial duel, most of the times you will win but its not 100%.
@@SekolahEfootball 🤣🤣 What you just said is nonsense. Are you seriously telling me that controlling my players shouldn't be 100% accurate? This isn't real-life football; it's a video game based on stats. How do you explain Maguire running as fast as Mbappe or prime Messi? 😂😂 That's exactly the issue I have with the Konami community. People talk like they're thinking with their ass.
You need to understand that a football game is not a sim; they're all arcade-like. Sure, different games have different gameplay styles, but it should always be based on user skill, not some scripted nonsense. That's where tactics and playstyle come in, not people like you trying to justify the scripting like it's something we should accept.
If you want a sim football experience, step outside, put on your boots, and kick a ball yourself.

One question. Can we always show player name above the player with player name box still active? Like in FIFA 16.
@spoony I just have 1 important question for me, does this game simply have a normal football Premier season?
38 games, real squad and just a full season!
Also if so if you finish in the top 4 do you get to play in the Champions league?
I'm not interested in any other mode.
Thank you...
Oh is pc version ok?
@@JANER64 yes mate
The best description of this year Soulless game !!! BRAVO
Couldn’t wait for your review as I thought you were sure to talk about the new cpu sliders. I wanna see if it really has an impact on gameplay for the Ai
@@myxy gotcha, sorry bro. Wanted to dive into simulation mode
No worries man. It’s just you mentioned in this video the Ai passing too much in simulation mode. Apparently you can control all that in the new cpu sliders. I haven’t heard anything in depth regarding these sliders. You and TheTruBrits could maybe do a video on them and their impact. See if we can get an enjoyable game. Thanks.
Are there any mods for EAFC games? Something like adding real kits for the Milan Teams
There's mods on right for PC now Idk if they got that far yet though however seeing Chris Wilder doing greyface is hilarious.
I love the presentation and atmosphere but I just wish they could change the commentary teams
Yeah. Bring Back Ally McCoist and John Motson :)

@@saqibakbar2026 At half time, indeed 😁
Bring back the ps2 days
If EA could get the weight of ball right the game would feel pretty good.
It seems much better than EA FC24. I would go for a slower pace to make it more realistic, considering the limitations of the engine used by EA. I enjoyed this video way more than all ther other videos about EA FC24 I've seen. It's an upgrade for sure. Is it the best football game in terms of gameplay? Hmmm not, but they are getting there maybe. eFootball gameplay + EA FC25 environment would be the best game, not perfect but the way to go.
I like the sim sliders, but I had to up the sprint speed a bit to get rid of the hamster wheel effect. Honestly, it's not a bad game in my opinion. It still doesn't have that bit of magic that PES has, in terms of player movement and ball physics, but it's fun and the amount of content is crazy. I like the newest version of eFootball, but man, on PS5 that shit'll make your eyes bleed. I'm pretty sure they're running it at 1080p. EA FC is gorgeous by comparison.
What I do like here is that the AI doesn't look overpowered.
How is the control of the players though, is it still a bit floaty?
It still looks to me like the players are skating on the pitch.
What’s the camera settings?
4:14 actually there was a retired footballer who complained that players today just "pass the ball into the net"
@@ClapperDan not all teams but man city... it's taken the flair out of the game. Grealish not allowed to beat a player one Vs one but they still happen often.
I played simulation mode on Xbox One (don’t have next gen yet) and I reckon most people would prefer it to the next gen gameplay
@@konamipls interesting!
@@SpoonyPizzas Lol no PES 2021 > old gen EAFC.
Im playing a modded pes 17, in my opinion..the best football game ever made.
@spoony, this video has made me want to get this game 🤔. I hope updates dont mess things up. I'll wait a little while before getting one.
Putting gameplay aside I love the addition of the playstyle plusses feature but shame they moved the feature of moving players position around with the button. You either have 2 cdm's or 2 cm's now and won't be able to do a mix and match. Not quite sure why they did it like this.. For me passes sometimes go to the wrong player. Normal crossing is still a bit hard to score from and even crossing with Beckham from the wing from the Soccer Stars team in offline has no power and quality in the cross or am I missing something and don't know how to properly cross in the new Fifa's.. Most times I save and then everything reverts back to default especially the controller settings when starting up the game again.
How optimized is the game? your graphic settings please
@@gamingkingpin5481 horrendous on pc ngl haha. I've had tearing. On ultra for 3070 rtx and monster CPU it was really bad FPS 20-25. I set everything to auto.
@@SpoonyPizzas Same, crazy frame drops in cut scenes
I think I've finally realised why I find fifa so unnatural. It really seems like you're actually just controlling the ball, and then the engine is then finding a matching animation. I'm guessing it feels more responsive this way but the constant foot sliding looks horrible to me.
can you do a review of the mod football life 2024 2.3? it is pretty fucking good
It's interesting you saying it lacks soul, I watch my son playing EAFC24 and he gets bored.
Back in the day if PES ML on PES 2/3/4/5/6. It always had that one more game feeling.
Maybe it was great because we were younger? Damn I miss those times
Im glad u finally switched to ea
Spoony, do we know if Master League is coming? I hope it is man, because the gameplay IS SO GOOD now and reminds of the old PES games.... Hope someone can answer my question lol
Hello, could you make a slider set similar to pes/efootball? I remember your video: PES Gameplay Sliders Fifa22 and it was fantastic. I hope you repeat it this year.
I am a veteran pes and fifa player since 1998. I play only offline. Fc 25 is one of the best in fifa series. I have to disagree. It's not souless its a great package. Its the best package of football game out there and thanks God we have a complete game at least.
Fair enough mate. I just find certain aspects a bit hollow, especially offline.
@@SpoonyPizzas No worries brother 👌 💪
Playing City and Liverpool on world class is panic inducing with the high press, even on simulation settings.
@@SandrosCoronado You can copy the simulation settings and make some tweaks by yourself. For example you can low the run frequency for cpu or the pass speed etc
@@Antony13820 hate the way loose balls always fall to the cpu it's almost magnetic
Now it looks perfect. Skating game through ICE.. 🤣🤣🤣
Cant play efootball without edit mode
i think you should sit with game more and tweak the sliders. trust me, as an old die hard pro evo fan, ea fc with matt10 sliders and a bit of my adjustments on top of it, the game is super addicting just like the good old pro evo days. a true possession based slow challenging gameplay
@@outcast-tk3gv I found his sliders from the past kill the joy and came a passing sim. Again, they're not for me but I get why people like those. Just suck the enjoyment and challenge out for me personally. Like I said, I think I'll prefer default sliders (which I'm yet to try) as I prefer the high speed challenge but maybe tone down the passing a bit.
I was kinda hoping this simulation mode would be good in career mode
@@sharpz44 it is a big improvement over 24
On 15 min, 0:0 , they pick Halad as "player of the match" ..... what ??
FC gameplay is still bad for me, but the biggest problem the game to look so .. stiff and robotic is animations, mostly the passing animations, when designing an animation there is:
1) preparation / leg swing,
2) hitting the ball,
3) finishing animation
in FC in most cases 1) and 3) is non-existent, skips or is speed up, and barely noticeable, doesn't match of the speed and direction of the pass/ball, so the animations look weird and unnatural.
Splendid Gameplay ❤

Skills be damned, I just want realistic pace, player movement and defense to begin with. EA’s game is STILL footy’s equivalent of ice hockey after all these years.
Does the AI cross now?
Can you make flick tactics in efootball
Seen guys already saying they regretted getting the game after day 1 lol. I warned people that this would happen when they were releasing the trailers but they didn’t wanna listen. Happens every single year but people are always hooked to a new game like it’s a shiny toy. Problem is, the game rarely changes but minor stuff that everyone’s sick and tired of in a week. Around October, there’s always complaint videos and I bet they’ll be stacked this year. It’s just going to be another year of rage and risk of health problems (that’s if you can control your anger and many people can’t as the game is broken and you will lose it at some point) Glad I didn’t succumb to getting this garbage especially after the shambles that was fc24😂.
It's pretty fun for me
Speak for yourself lol. I’m having fun!
The cut scenes are nice, but who actually watches them other than for the first one or two games or to show your grandma how cool the game is? EA: put that much energy into the perfecting the game play and then we shall talk.
Spoony pls how do you defend on fifa because that’s my problem!! Help 😂!! I’m an efootball guy tho
I’m sorry but as a pes fan for many years ! Efootball is know where near as good as ea fc 25 it’s not even close
Good looking out spoony
Judging by the reviews I’m seeing online efootball need to pull there finger out and quick I’ve been struggling for opponents today for the 1st time
Ok so im flicking between simulation mode on World Class and Professional, WC seems very slow, professional too fast and easy & the 50/50 custom - classic mode seems way to fast.
Should probably called it EA FC 24.5 really... same as last year in most areas, additional on entrance scene and bit more, but not affecting the gameplay overall.
Can you feel the weight of the ball now?
Has to be football life for yet another year then

Mate efootball has become ping pong as well are you blind anyone who hates themselves plays efootball because it's such an empty shell efootball doesn't even have a real football pitch it looks like concrete painted in green gimme a break efootball is a mobile game for broke people
I got eafc to play like pes with gameplay mod and then i tweaked sliders
Wanna share those?
@@SpoonyPizzas in actual fact fc25 without mods can feel like pes i sat for 15 hours with the settings and got it to feel extremely good basically use the simulation sliders down the passing to 40 or up to 44 increase put the speed to 50 and accelleration to 51 and then tweak the cpu sliders drop how mucj they dribble and how quickly they pass also drop build up and you will see how great this game plays without mods
The kids have huge arms.
wasnt even gonna finish the trial but guess ill boot up the simulation style....
For me it's the closest to PES it's ever been. You cant just sprint past defenders anymore, you use it more like a burst and use patient build up play like PES.
Obviously still not as good as the older pes gameplay but its a step in the right direction. Hopefully they won't ruin it with future updates but I'm not holding my breath 🙃
Fifa 22 vs Fifa 25 ?
the only reason i play efootball now is because of the finesse dribbling and sprint being so intuitive and easy and nice to use...
Theres no content to the game.
Maybe i will give ea 25 a shot for career mode.
the shirt moves like mash Melos lol
@@benjaminprymz7671 haha
One thing for sure FIFA/EA FC being a complete mess in terms of gameplay animations is at the same time underrated and enjoyable. And has never been a soulless game, there was always so much going on. We well know which game with its realistic gameplay is absolutely plain and soulless unfortunately....
Someone please explain to me why the Arsenal mascot kids are being taken out on to the pitch by the Man City players? That doesn't happen, that's not what fans would want lol
It's probably because whoever designed the child mascot system did it based on some European nations version were they do lead the opposite teams kits out Serie A is an example of this it's annoying but it works in select leagues atleast.
The real problem FIFA-EAFC gameplay is the animations and physics. Until they stop being lazy with them, it will always look and play unrealistic.
AI not make any fouls ever?
is it fifa 22/ 23/ or 24 in disguise with new kits and new transfers but shite gameplay
Efootball needs a new UI like asap!!! They should get rid of the nonsense blue and yellow colour, its not pleasing at all
The real question is, should I purchase it ???
To me every football game after Ps2 pes are souless,on both fifa and pes sides.
Someone less someone more...
I played and replayed a lot of football games in last 2 years, from old ps2 pes to the last fc24.
Winning Eleven 10 liveware Evolution is still my favorite football game ever,followed by pes5. But i (re)discovered how much good fifa16 was, and how much overrated,in my opinion, pes2020/21 are (i prefer 2020 to 21 anyways).
My first fifa,after my return to pes in 2019,was fifa 23. I hated the game so much, and fc24 aswell.
Actually i am very surprised with this fc25 sim mode,i am appreciating it a lot. I find it a lot better than efootball,which is a pressing/counterattack/end to end fest...
Fc25 could look weird with its skating,but has a lot more depth than efootball.
I don't love it like We10le/pes5 but it is really a good game
FC25 is a step in the right direction. Unlike Konami, EA have put on some effort. Career mode is improved and the gameplay has improved as well along with new tactics settings. Get rid of the ice skating, stop giving cat reflexes to players, improve ball physics and then there's no looking back for FC25.
eFootball can bite the dust if they don't up their game and keep giving us a mobile game in the name of a "next gen experience".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!are you serious??🤣🤣🤣🤣you know nothing about football so for this reason you love to play to horrible ridiculous easy hockey ping pong for children fc 25!!🤣🤣🤣
EAFC has the same issues FIFA had, all players and teams feel and play the same. Offline is really dull, the hype and cut scenes are nice at the start but you find you quickly start skipping them.
I know a lot of people trash EA. I was one of them, however, with FIFA 22 to now. They at least add more features and are listening or somewhat listening to PES fans. I don't think gameplay will get better until a new engine? Just my opinion.
I've been buying it just to support them again. I haven't bought EA FIFA games since 14. As long as EA tries, I'll keep buying.
Still floaty
Both games r horrible so pick your poison. Games in general r in decline
No cap
I just make the gameplay like pes myself I do my own sliders I don’t even need to really watch these gameplay vids anymore
Eafc is perfect till it comes to defending how you have to hold contain and shimmy around endlessly looks so unrealistic then and it’s bloody annoying and frustrating other than that it’s pretty good
It's an eyesore to watch Spoons. And I don't mean that from an "eFootball / PES or nothing" standpoint, -as I'm someone who has gone to Fifa in the past as my go-to footy game when I tired of Konami's laziness. But this is so very much worse than the Fifa games that did get my time like FIFA18 to 22. The gameplay has completely regressed. Like they can add all the glitz, glam & modes (simulation included) they want, but it still feels and looks like elasticated spastic hawks skating around a beach ball. There's just no weight or physicality to it. Every single kick, pass, shot, cross or turn defies the laws of gravity & physics. If we have to compare, eFootball even as a glorified demo & card rinser, is so superior to this that it ain't even the same sport. Hard pass.
@@Galfano10Gaming definitely more weight on the ball and players in simulation mode. Not tried normal mode TBF but eFootball rn feels so good rn. Definitely needs some tweaking around first touch, needs a touch of responsiveness as it can affect online play
