In EA FC 25, gameplay often leads to frustration due to various issues. 2 experts found a solution to a major problem and suddenly felt more fun playing.
What kind of experts are these? Tim “Latka” Schwartmann and Simon “GamerBrother” Schildgen are well-known content creators for EA FC. While Tim Latka is particularly impressive with his very strong gameplay, GamerBrother’s focus is on entertainment for FC 25.
Latka plays in Rivals in the Elite Division and regularly achieves top placings in the Weekend League. But GamerBrother also doesn’t have to hide his achievements as a player in Division 1 and rank 3/4 player in the Weekend League.
Independently of each other, both players became aware of a characteristic of their players over the weekend that solves a vexing problem in FC 25.
What was the problem so far? The inclined player from FC 25 will have already identified a major problem in addition to several shortcomings. Passes, whether short or long, flat or high, are simply too inconsistent to create scoring opportunities with great combinations. It makes little difference whether your player has strong or less good passing skills.
The only exception are the players who have one or more of the 5 passing playstyles, i.e. characteristics that improve the various passes. These include:
This also includes the PlayStyle “Tiki-Taka”, which the experts had a lot of fun with over the weekend.
Tiki-Taka allows for great pass combinations
Why is Tiki-Taka so much fun? According to former eSports athlete Tim Latka, Tiki-Taka ensures that you can finally play gentle combination football on the offensive again.
This means you can try out formations again that were hardly playable due to the very center-heavy AI defense in EA FC. Latka demonstrates this with his 4-1-2-1-2 tactics. You can see how he can score “great goals like in the good old days” with the formation and Tiki-Taka here:
According to Latka, the Tiki-Taka PlayStyle itself also brings another advantage. With this style of play, even the normal PlayStyle in silver would have a big impact. There are also some PlayStyles that would only be worthwhile in gold, i.e. as a + version.
Creator colleague GamerBrother even goes one better in his team rating for his past Weekend League on YouTube. For him, Tiki-Taka is the best play style in EA FC.
On his Weekend League team, 4 of his 6 offensive players had the Tiki-Taka playstyle. The content creator summarizes his experience with the following summary: “You were able to play such great passing combinations.”
GamerBrother would also rely on this play style in the next Weekend League.
