FC 25 players exist in the form of FIFA player cards in FC 25. Each card features the player's portrait and rating. The ratings are divided into overall ratings and attributes of each ability. There are actually many attributes that affect a FC player's performance in the game. The six main attributes are pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defense, and physical. In addition, starting from EA FC 24, each player has obtained Playstyles. FC 25 Playstyles are perks that enhance the specific abilities of the FIFA players. In this way, each player's abilities will be more personalized.
In FC 25, each player may have many different versions of EA FC players. These different versions of FIFA players come from different events. For example, when a FUT 25 player is selected for Team of the Year, a TOTY version of the player with a higher rating of him will be added to the game. When a legendary star retires, EA will issue an End of an Era version of the player card for him.
FUT features special types of player cards, including:
Icons: Legendary players from football history with high ratings and unique attributes.
Team of the Week (TOTW): Players who have performed exceptionally well in real-life matches, receiving boosted stats for a limited time.
In-Form (IF) Players: Players with enhanced attributes based on their current real-life form.
Special Editions: Unique cards released during events or promotions, often featuring improved stats or exclusive designs.
Player cards are the core of FC 25 Ultimate Team mode gameplay. Players obtain them in the form of FUT players from packs or the market. When they are arranged into your lineup, they will appear as players in the game. FC 25 players' ratings are a major component of a lineup's strength. Therefore, FIFA 25 players are also a key factor in determining your gaming experience.
