Has EA Sports FC 25 been a successful release after two weeks?
EA Sports FC 25 - A Mixed Bag:

EA Sports FC 25 was highly anticipated by fans when it released on September 27. The game boasted a new 5v5 game mode called Rush and an improved AI system for smarter teammates. It also introduced new tactics for team setup with and without the ball. However, the changes were met with mixed reactions from both critics and fans, with some calling it a step up from its predecessor, EA Sports FC 24.

Despite being the best-selling game in September, EA Sports FC 25 saw a decrease in launch sales compared to EA Sports FC 24. However, the Ultimate Edition, which allowed players to access the game earlier, saw an increase in sales in the UK. While the number of players on Xbox and PlayStation is not available, data from SteamDB revealed that 110,000 people played EA Sports FC 25 on its first Sunday, compared to 82,000 for EA Sports FC 24 on the same day last year. Although the player count on PC dropped in the following weeks, it was still higher than the previous year's release.

Critics have given EA Sports FC 25 a higher rating than its predecessor, with a score of 77 out of 100 on Metacritic. The game also received a higher recommendation rate from critics on OpenCritic. However, user reviews on Metacritic were not as favorable, with a user score of 2.8 out of 10, slightly better than EA Sports FC 24's score of 2.4. The overall Steam user score for the game is "Mixed," with some praising the fluid movement and responsiveness while others criticize it as a costly update rather than a new game.

One of the major changes in EA Sports FC 25 was the addition of the Rush mode, which received mixed reviews from fans. While the game has been the most popular football simulator for years, pleasing all fans is a challenging task. However, senior producer Sam Rivera assured fans that they always listen to feedback and strive to stay true to the game and its authenticity.

Despite all the mixed opinions, EA Sports FC 25 continues to be a highly anticipated game. Fans can stay updated by following the team on various social media platforms and signing up for the newsletter. They can also submit their opinions and ideas through email or by using the "Submit Stuff" page on the website. With the game's release, fans can look forward to experiencing all the new features and decide for themselves if it lives up to the hype.
