EA FC 25 Title Update #16 is set to roll out soon for the PS4 and Xbox One versions, bringing fixes and minor enhancements that improve stability and polish gameplay.
While this update doesn’t add new features, it addresses a few hiccups that have affected Career Mode and general usability.
Edit: Title Update #16 is now available on the all platforms of EA FC 25, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Here’s a closer look at what’s changing in the game.

Career Mode Fix
One of the key fixes in EA FC 25 Title Update #16 targets an annoying issue in Career Mode: sometimes the EA Connect widget popped up unexpectedly during matches, which prevented players from sprinting.
If you ever felt held back at a crucial sprint because of a sudden overlay, this patch should put that behind you.
By ensuring the EA Connect widget no longer appears unintentionally, you can focus on tactics, pressing, or those decisive counterattacks without being interrupted.
Why it matters: Sprinting is a fundamental mechanic in Career Mode—whether chasing down a loose ball, breaking through a defensive line, or covering space defensively.
Removing this interruption restores the flow of matches and avoids frustrating moments where a widget blocks input.
General, Audio, and Visual
Though not headline-grabbing, small visual and audio tweaks help the game feel more cohesive:
Updated button callouts: Some on-screen prompts now correctly reflect controller buttons on PS4 and Xbox One.
This ensures that when the game tells you to press a specific button—for example, to change tactics or confirm a menu choice—it matches your controller layout.
Kits and badges: Placeholder kits or badges that might have appeared during menu navigation are being replaced with the proper visuals.
This keeps immersion intact, so you’re not seeing generic art when browsing squads, customizing teams, or exploring menus.
Placeholder text and images: Any temporary text or images used during development are swapped out for final content.
This cleanup avoids confusion (e.g., “TBD” labels) and gives Career Mode and other menus a finished feel.
Addressing EA Connect Virtual Keyboard & Stability
EA FC 25 Title Update #16 also fixes two additional issues tied to EA Connect and overall stability:
Virtual keyboard in EA Connect searches: Previously, when trying to search for a player using a controller—perhaps to add someone to your watchlist or check a transfer target—the virtual keyboard wouldn’t always pop up.
Now, the on-screen keyboard reliably appears, letting you enter names smoothly without switching to another input method.
General stability improvements: A stability issue that could cause crashes or freezes under certain conditions has been patched.
While EA hasn’t detailed every scenario, these behind-the-scenes fixes reduce the chance of unexpected interruptions, making your gameplay sessions more reliable.
Platform Availability
EA FC 25 Title Update #16 is specifically designed for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of EA FC 25. Players on these platforms should ensure their game is updated to receive these improvements.
It’s strange that the title update #16 is targeted at specific platforms, namely older generation consoles.
It appears that there are problems on this platform caused by the old title update #15, as we received messages suggesting problems with the previous title update #15 on PlayStation 4.
Final Whistle
Title Update #16 for EA FC 25 on PS4 and Xbox One may seem modest, but the fixes enhance everyday play: no more unwanted EA Connect overlays blocking sprints, clearer button prompts, proper kits and badges, reliable virtual keyboard searches, and improved stability.
These tweaks remove small frustrations so you can focus on building your club in Career Mode, competing in Ultimate Team, or enjoying Kick-Off matches with friends.
Keep an eye out for the update notification, install it when it’s live, and dive back in with a smoother, more polished experience.
