In EA FC 25, the community benefits from a successful gameplay patch and strong players that you get for free. On Reddit to my fans to have found the reason why EA is particularly generous. You can read the background to Meinmmo.
Which strong players do you get right now? In keeping with the Team of the Year (Toty), an event that publishes the strongest cards at the present time of FC 25, EA Sports shows itself in a donation mood.
On the one hand, you can develop your own Toty card in the Evos (EVOS), a feature in which cards receive upgrades. In the end, you will receive a player who can have values over 80 everywhere and can therefore keep up with a strong Toty card, at least in the approach, which otherwise usually cost over a million coins and more.

On the other hand, everyone was given a special version of the French Icon Zidane at the start of the Toty. Players that Ultimate Team had played before October 31, 2024 were allowed to further develop this card in the Evos and end up with an even stronger icon than the basic card. And completely free.

Before the Toty: Streamer & Community praise gameplay update
But even before the Toty and even before the donated cards, one of the largest gameplay patches that were carried out in the middle of a season ensured a better atmosphere among the players.
What kind of update was that? The Title Update 8 with the name “Gameplay refresh” brought a number of big changes for the game mechanics:
The patch, which again provided more offensive football, was positively summarized by most content creators to FC 25. So also from the otherwise very critical streamer Nickrtfm, which compared the changes to the update with the feeling of a new game (“FC 25.5”).
In a detailed criticism video for the update on his YouTube channel, he even certified that he saved EA 25 with the patch. And the majority of the community was also voted positively in the comments:
Fans suspect “painful” reason behind EAS engagement
In the past, the developer company often had to listen to the fact that one would put too little value on the feedback community and would hardly react to problems. That would contradict the current commitment EAS with regard to gameplay patch and gifted, strong players in FC 25.
What is the reason for fans behind EAS engagement? In a thread with the title: “It looks as if a decline in expenses and sales was the reason that FC received a complete revision of the gameplay”, some fans seem to be safe, the reason for EAS greater turn to have found the community.
User broken_pikachu, the author of the post, also writes: “Apparently the free zidane and other gestures were also part of the falling numbers.” (Via Reddit)
In doing so, he refers to a recently published financial report on the part of EA. In this, CEO Andrew Wilson stated that EA FC 25 did not meet the expectations of the net bookings “. According to a report by Jason Schreier on Bloomberg, around $ 300 million was left behind the desired sales for FC 25.
Other users also see relationships between the back and the current tendency to accommodate the community more:
Far from the critical consideration, EA brings up more in FC 25 for the simple reason, because the sales figures are not correct, this can be a profitable situation for fans and companies. The first steps to be closer to the community again have succeeded with the extensive gameplay patch and the free items to the Toty and were mostly positive by the players.
Perhaps players will be able to meet more accommodation again in the future. While EA can benefit from the increasing sales figures through the improved public perception. By the way, EA has been treating free rewards every Monday since the end of November:
