EA FC 25: Sprint Boost now works differently

earthpressnews

The Sprint Boost in EA FC 25 should actually be removed from the game with a patch. But some players still benefit from a speed boost. On MeinMMO you can find out how you can continue to use the Sprint Boost.

What is Sprint Boost? With Sprint Boost, your player accelerates to top speed in a short moment from a standing position or while slowly dribbling.

The explosive acceleration in particular makes the Sprint Boost the perfect way to overcome opposing defenders without much effort.

Why was Sprint Boost patched? At the beginning of FC 25, every professional could perform the Sprint Boost, regardless of whether they had a lot of speed or little speed. The result was that most players only focused on this OP Boost, which seemed quite annoying.

The problem was initially fixed with one of the first major patches for FC 25, as its effectiveness was greatly reduced for all players. But that also brought new problems.

Running away from opposing defenders became virtually impossible. This also made some big streamers in the Weekend League despair.

Sprint Boost now works thanks to 2 PlayStyles

Sprint Boost has been available again with adjusted conditions for some time now.

How does Sprint Boost work now? The inputs on the controller remain the same. Go into side dribbling with L1 on PlayStation/LB on Xbox. To perform the Sprint Boost, suddenly release L1/LB and sprint with R2/RT in the desired direction in front of you.

This triggers the Sprint Boost, at least for certain players. Because you now need at least one of two PlayStyles for maximum acceleration.

Which PlayStyles do you need? There are now 2 important PlayStyles for the Sprint Boost:

  • Quick Step (Silver/Gold)
  • Frenzy (Silver/Gold)

    • For “Quick Step” and “Frenzy” the following applies: the better the playstyle, the more effective the Sprint Boost is. This means players who have one of these two PlayStyles in gold will have an even faster start than the professionals who only have them in silver.

    The fastest players in FC 25 often even have both playstyles.

    Since Frenzy and Quick Step usually only have very fast players, the revised Sprint Boost has become a little more logical and no longer seems completely arbitrary.
