Update Oct 11th: We’ve added 2 new tactics codes from FC 25 Pro Players and content creators, removed some out-of-date ones from the first week of the game and updated the codes from some players who’ve released new tactics.With these EA Sports FC 25 tactics codes, you can emulate the best formations from both the greatest managers in club football and the top eSports pros to grace the pitch.One of the biggest new additions to EA Sports FC 25 is what EA is calling FC IQ, a wholesale rework of the game’s underlying tactics engine which gives players new roles and responsibilities on the pitch.Now, rather than relying on the same old player instructions that have been in the game for years, you can craft a detailed tactical plan including new positions which are more akin to modern football.EA SPORTS FC 25 Official Launch Trailer | For The Club Watch on YouTubeWith the false-back you can have one of your full-backs move inside into midfield while you’re in possession, overloading the middle of the pitch and giving you more passing options. Or, if you like building attacks out wide, you can slot a Half-Winger into the CAM slot, which pushes your player out onto the flanks to combine with your wide players or to cross themselves.But while this system is both powerful and exciting, it can also be a bit overwhelming. What if you just don’t want to get steamrollered online, or fancy playing a few games online without your team feeling disjointed?To take some of the tactical burden off of players, EA added a way to get the best tactics is EA Sports FC 25 without enrolling in Coverciano (Italy’s elite coaching academy). Each formation and tactical plan in the game generates a unique, sharable code, which any other player can input to instantly mould their team into the same framework.Here’s a selection of codes for playing like the best real managers and top eSports pros.EA Sports FC 25 Tactics CodesPro Player/Content Creator Tactics CodesTeam Gullit [4-4-2/4-2-2-2] – k49#X9Qruh4Team Gullit Competitive [5-4-1] – L8$B6A&RVNbAuziomf [4-5-1] – C#bmtHuKMeSOvvyFC [4-4-1-1] – MA$w6Q&TWKgsaf_cameron [4-4-2] – a4zu#frik2%Fuji [5-2-1-2] – aszM8&?g$Y6Krasi [4-3-2-1] – 9UVvfRhFH7dAC RedLac [5-2-1-2] – bs&82jDhm4PUNLOCKKED [4-4-2/3-2-5] – g45S%kNsqdwStingrayjnr [5-3-2] – aszM8&?g$Y6MattHDGamer [4-4-2 Short Passing] – g45EP5wnquUInceptionFC [4-4-2/4-2-2-2] – i47DRsKqsgGY5K [4-2-3-1] – xHJjfrF47%VWe will add more codes as we see them across YouTube, Tiktok and X. If you’re wondering which of these codes to use, here’s some advice:If you’re struggling against better players or playing in the Elite Divisions, use Team Gullit’s 5-4-1 or Fuji’s 5-2-1-2. If you’re an intermediate player looking to improve, play Auziomf’s 4-5-1 or Ovvy’s 4-4-1-1. Or if you’re a beginner looking for an easy-to-use formation, use saf_cameron’s 4-4-2 or Team Gullit’s 4-4-2.For more guidance on which formation is right for you, we have a full page on the best EA Sports FC 25 formations.Club Teams:Man City/Pep Guardiola – 1#P5MKK8#VpArsenal/Mikel Arteta – Gce&cabtYk6Liverpool/Arne Slot – y#Mg#KG?FSmAston Villa/Unai Emery – &HMma%#A@SASpurs/Ange Postecoglu – 1HNHjMK@HTpChelsea/Enzo Maresca – 3HP#$RLBKVrManchester United/Erik ten Hag – 1HNJjPJ9AVFReal Madrid/Carlo Ancelotti – QcoxzE$YiuEAtletico Madrid/Diego Simeone – FZeZf5qLPF1Barcelona/Hansi Flick – mH?3866uxDaJuventus/Thiago Motta – $H93755MvHxNapoli/Antonio Conte – @ZYRZDUFS7zInter/Simone Inzaghi – K&j?&VyUcH?Milan/Paulo Fonseca – 7#T9qVQFGZbBologna/Vincenzo Italiano – PYnQmTf3ptDBayern/Vincent Kompany – E#c4yeYQfm4Leverkusen/Xabi Alonso – NZmBzktZXNBDortmund/Nuri Sahin – 6HS%oEeBV4uLeipzig/Marco Rose – gs4K73EMy?EPSG/Luis Enrique – QYo?mkhYqSEMarseille/Roberto De Zerbi – uHGwF#C44MSLyon/Pierre Sage – 3zQY%LM9B&nMonaco/Adi Hutter – &HMpWL#8@2oHow to use EA Sports FC 25 Tactics CodesTo make use of a tactics code in Ultimate Team, go into your Squad menu and press in the right stick on your controller (R3) to access Team Management.Then press right on the d-pad to get to a blank tactic and press X on PlayStation or A on Xbox to import.Now input the CASE-SENSITIVE code and you will have your shiny, new tactic ready to go!You will be prompted as to whether you want to make your new tactic active immediately, but if it isn’t, press Triangle on PlayStation or Y on Xbox while over a specific tactical plan to make it active.EA Sports FC 25 Best TacticsTo give you some context, by their very nature, Pro Player set-ups are usually very strong, straightforward and make full use of the most overpowered mechanics in the game. However, they’re not always the best for casual or even intermediate players.This is for a couple of reasons. First, this might not come as a surprise, but Pros are extremely good at the game, meaning they can dribble, pull off skill moves and finish difficult chances more consistently than most people. This means their formations and tactical set-ups are fine tuned to create these opportunities, but that might not work as well for less invested players.Secondly, since Pro set-ups are designed to play against other high-level opponents, they tend to be very defensive. In FC 24, the meta was to have as many defenders and big defensive players as possible, even to the point of using 5-at-the-back formations at times. Again, in these ultra-defensive formations, you need to be a really good offensive player to work your way back up the pitch. So keep that in mind if you’re wondering why a certain tactic code isn’t working for you.

With that comes the fact that Destiny 2 will be leading the series into its 11th year, and back in June developer Bungie teased a bit of what’s to come in that time, in particular something called Codename Frontiers. The studio didn’t reveal anything specific as to what that is at the time, just that the game’s journey will continue in 2025, despite the fact its most recent expansion The Final Shape more or less wrapped up the main 10-year-long story.To see this content please enable targeting cook…

Read moreIf you’re one of the many folks that disliked the way God of War Ragnarok handles offering up helpful hints when it thinks you need them, and the PC port’s efforts to provide an option to reduce the amount it dishes out, you’re seemigly in luck. There’s now a mod that provides a bit of an anti-hint nuclear option, by getting rid of over 1,000 lines of companion chatter.You might remember Ragnarok’s plentiful hint-offering as having caused a bit of a discourse – you know the kind – around the game’s release, with some players arguing that it got a bit too heavy handed too quickly when it came to puzzles. Much like all that debate around yellow paint being used to indicate climbable stuctures and ledges, it was a bit of a case of immersion versus accessibility, and certainly never just desce…
