EA FC 25 patch notes – passing, heading and PlayStyles upgraded in big update
The latest, and potentially final, set of EA FC 25 patch notes has been released by EA Sports, with some big gameplay changes being made in EA FC 25 Title Update 15.
As Season 7: Team of the Season comes to a close, EA Sports has revealed a new set of EA FC 25 patch notes for players to feast their eyes on, with EA making some of the biggest changes we've seen since Title Update 10. Titled the 'Season Finale Update', the latest set of EA FC 25 patch notes are focused on making changes to gameplay based on community feedback, specifically to passing, heading, and goalkeeping.
Along with the gameplay changes, some updates have been made to Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and the main menu, while the Season 8 Premium Pass rewards have also been revealed. These are the EA FC 25 patch notes for EA FC 25 Title Update 15: Season Finale.
EA FC 25 Title Update 15 patch notes
EA announced EA FC 25 Title Update 15 in the latest set of patch notes, and by the title, it seems safe to say that this could be the last major update of EA FC 25 as EA starts to turn its attention towards EA FC 26.
The biggest change in the update has been to the gameplay, with a big fix being made to ground passing, meaning players with high passing stats will be able to complete ground passes more regularly, regardless of PlayStyles. We've recently spoken about how PlayStyles have started to ruin gameplay, so it's good to see EA also noticing these issues.
Heading has also been improved in Title Update 15, and this was a much-needed change, with headers almost useless when trying to score goals. Goalkeepers, specifically goalkeepers with the Rush Out PlayStyle have also been nerfed, and in Ultimate Team, the maximum number of PlayStyles has been increased to five, the biggest it's ever been.
EA FC 25 Title Update 15 is live now on Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Nintendo Switch. Here are the EA FC 25 Title Update 15 patch notes in full:
Gameplay Updates
Improving Ground Passes For Skilled Passers
In the Season Finale Update, we've made the following passing change based on your feedback:
Moderately increased Ground Pass accuracy for players with high Passing-related Attributes. This change does not impact Driven Ground Passes.
With this change, we're looking to reduce the gap between players who can be excellent passers thanks to their high passing-related Attributes, and players who have passing-related PlayStyles. We want both types of players to be able to perform great passes.
Of course, passing is still impacted by everything you'd expect, including clean inputs and defensive pressure on the passer. We want passing to feel authentic in FC 25, and we want players who pass the ball well in real life to pass it well in our game too.
Reduced GK Rush Out PlayStyle Effectiveness
We've tweaked goalkeepers in the Season Finale Update based on your feedback:
Slightly reduced the rate of acceleration for goalkeepers with the Rush Out PlayStyle+.
Significantly reduced the rate of acceleration for goalkeepers with the Rush Out PlayStyle.
We've seen and heard from you that the keepers with the Rush Out PlayStyle+ were overly effective at closing down attackers. Naturally, we don't want to take away the ability of goalkeepers to rush incoming attackers, but with this change, our goal is to create more balanced one-on-one situations and encourage a wider variety of defensive strategies.
Improving Header Accuracy
We've seen your feedback about wanting headers to be a more viable attacking option, so we made the following change:
Slightly increased the accuracy of headers performed by the shooting input.
While nobody wants every single header to be a goal, we've seen the need for increasing the effectiveness of headers in FC 25. As always, we'll continue to look at your feedback on headers and all other gameplay aspects of FC 25.
Ultimate Team Updates
Season 8 And A New Premium Pass
It's almost time for Season 8 in FUT, and it'll be kicking off on Thursday, June 5. The new season also brings a brand new Premium Pass to FC 25, and we've listed everything you can expect from it below.
We have updated our Playstyle+ Evolution Consumables requirements for Season 8!
In the Standard Ladder, the requirements for the Playstyle+ Evolutions will be: Max 95 OVR, Max 9 Playstyles, Max 3 Playstyle+.
In the Premium Pass, the requirements for the Playstyle+ Evolutions will be: Max 96 OVR, Max 9 Playstyles, Max 3 Playstyle+.
If you want to know about the Season Pass and how it works in-game, be sure to check out our Pitch Notes on it, complete with an FAQ section.
Increased Maximum Amount Of PlayStyle+ Assignments
With the Season Finale Update, Player Items can now have up to five PlayStyle+ in Ultimate Team.
We're making this update so we can provide you with a larger variety of Player Items going forward. You may notice that you can now gain up to a maximum of five new PlayStyle+ as rewards through Evolutions, or certain Player Items show more PlayStyle+ UI indicators.
Of course, this doesn't mean that every Player Item with multiple PlayStyles+ will have five of them, it just means that five is the new max.
Career Mode, Main Menu, And More
As part of the Season Finale Update, we're adding the final set of Live Start Points for FC 25, plus you can now play as the following ICONs in Player Career:
Birgit Prinz
George Best
Johan Cruyff
Garrincha
In Manager Career, you will now be able to play 5v5 Youth Tournament Matches in co-op, up to four players, via the addition of the Side Select functionality.
We've also tweaked how match results around your club are covered in your Career Mode social media feeds, with a new and improved logic allowing you to see a refreshed Fixtures & Results UI. You can also expect a refreshed main menu, themed to match the new season.

Battlefield 6 players get free gift if they cause $1 trillion of damage in beta
EA has set Battlefield 6 players an explosive challenge in the open beta, depending on exactly how much property damage they cause. Battlefield 6's second open beta officially went live on Thursday, adding an additional map called Empire State and two new modes in Rush and Squad Deathmatch. The beta is set to run until Sunday, August 18 at 9am BST, and developer EA has leaned into the franchise's appetite for destruction via a new challenge for players. If players around the world manage to collectively cause $1 trillion worth of damage in the Battlefield 6 beta, everyone who participated will receive a Destruction weapon skin for the M60 machine gun when the full game launches on October 10, 2025. At the time of writing, the total amount of financial damage is just over $100 billion, a figure carried over from the first beta, so players have a lot to demolish over the next two days if they want to claim their prize. If you want to see how much you've individually contributed to the desecration of virtual architecture, EA has a way so players can see their specific 'destruction receipt' too. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. In order to access the results of your destruction, you first have to take part in some obligatory social engagement. You can find a breakdown of the steps below. Blow up stuff in the Battlefield 6 beta. Post a gameplay video of your destruction on X or Instagram with #BF6Receipts and @battlefield mentioned in the post. Within 24 hours, your receipt will be added to the online leaderboard here, where you can search for your username and find your total. So what's the best way to cause the most destruction? While you can rack up damage by hopping in vehicles and unloading at buildings, character class wise you're best to pick the Engineer, who comes with a rocket launcher and mines as side weapons. More Trending If you fancy seeing your player stats from the first open beta, you can check out those by entering your EA ID here. While the jury is out on whether Battlefield 6 will threaten Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7, the latter's release date is a whole month later according to a recent leak.

Battlefield 6 beta rushes to fix its least-loved mode as players complain about unfair bomb timers
Battlefield 6 is currently in the midst of its second beta, and EA has already made a change to the game in order to fix one of its least-loved modes, Rush Battlefield 6 is currently undergoing extensive beta testing, but the game's team isn't waiting until the end to make necessary adjustments. They've already swooped in to rectify one of the least popular modes. EA has plunged players into its second Battlefield 6 beta of shooter action, and so far, it's proving that the game could potentially restore the series' tarnished reputation. Despite a rocky start with Battlefield 2042, this round of Battlefield 6 betas has been an impressive display of what feels like a genuine new-gen shooter. This comes as welcome news for shooter fans who are growing restless waiting for Black Ops 7, announced during this year's summer showcase season, following the release of Black Ops 6 Season 5. However, some players seem to forget that the purpose of this beta is to ensure that the final game is market-ready, with any issues identified during the beta being resolved. Even as players scramble to spend as much time in-game as possible, there's still work to be done. And it appears that Battlefield 6 is already implementing some fixes to enhance the player experience. Rushing to the rescue Battlefield 6 hasn't wasted any time making changes to the hugely popular second beta that's currently live. As players voice their complaints about its Rush mode, EA has stepped in to adjust its timers. The Battlefield 6 Rush mode, which requires an attacking team to set a bomb and defend it until detonation, while the defending team tries to prevent this, has been criticised for being unbalanced. With a 45-second gap between planting and exploding, defenders seemed to have a significant advantage. However, Battlefield has now intervened, announcing on Twitter that they've reduced the MCOM timer from 45 seconds to 30 in the Rush mode. Although it's a minor adjustment, it could potentially enhance the gaming experience in a mode that players currently don't seem too enthusiastic about. Such tweaks are typical during these beta stages, but this swift response means fans can actually enjoy the mode, rather than just flocking to favourites like Conquest and Breakthrough. It's a positive move by the team, and it could shape the final version of the game mode. If there's ever a time to voice concerns about Battlefield 6, it's now – so let your frustrations be heard.
