When Sports Meet Fantasy – Is EA Going Too Far?
A lot went down when EA dropped the Switch edition of FIFA FC 25. Or should I say EA SPORTS FC 25 standard editions. Many thought moving away frpm "FIFA" branding felt forced. Despite controversy, its updated training simulator stands apart — mixing realism with light-hearted touches that keeps the core crowd interested. Meanwhile cross-gen compatibility adds longevity rarely seen before in football gaming. Does simulation now trump competition for casual fans? Debatable—but interesting.
Key Takeaways Across Genres- Open worlds demand more choice, less rigidity
- New devs can compete using strong thematic focuses rather than raw scale
- Cross-play support matters—even if UI scales awkwardly
