EA SPORTS FC 25: Title Update #17 Officially Announced

EA SPORTS has officially announced Title Update #17 for EA SPORTS FC 25, bringing a fresh batch of fixes and enhancements across all major modes of the game.

This update will be available soon on all supported platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s new in Title Update #17:

Gameplay Adjustments

A key gameplay change has been introduced to improve defensive realism and balance:

• Failed tackles can now take longer to transition out of, especially for hard tackles.

The goal of this tweak is to reduce instances where players can chain failed tackles into immediate follow-up attempts, which previously gave defenders an unrealistic advantage.

This change encourages smarter tackling timing and rewards precision over spamming the tackle button.

Ultimate Team Fixes

One targeted issue has been resolved in Ultimate Team:

• Fixed an issue where Premium Pass rewards could not be claimed correctly in specific cases.

Players should now experience a smoother and more reliable reward-claiming process moving forward.

Career Mode Updates

Career Mode gets a small but notable enhancement:

• Updated the list of available ICONs in Player Career.

This adjustment will allow players to experience a broader range of legendary footballers during their virtual careers.

Note: This change will go live shortly after the title update via a server release. Expect a detailed article from us about new ICONs in Player Career.

EA SPORTS FC 25 General Improvements

A series of cosmetic and UI upgrades are also part of this update:

• Refined button callouts, player hairstyles, kits, equipment, stadiums, trophies, club badges, ad boards, and fixed placeholder text/images.

These updates contribute to a more immersive and polished overall presentation in EA SPORTS FC 25.

Title Update #17 may not be the most content-packed, but its quality-of-life fixes and gameplay refinement signal EA’s continued commitment to improving the FC 25 experience.

Be sure to install the update when it drops on your platform to enjoy the latest enhancements.
