FC 25 Patch #10 Adds Low Driven Shot PlayStyle, Gameplay Tweaks and More

EA Sports FC 25 patch #10 is available today on all platforms introducing a brand-new Low Driven Shot PlayStyle and PlayStyle+, giving players another way to finish with precision. Football Ultimate Team fans will be happy to see the legendary Roma Trio return, along with the addition of Franz Beckenbauer as an ICON.

The update also includes some gameplay tweaks, including shot accuracy, ball travel speed and clearance headers receiving a bump, but fully powered Precision Lob Passes won’t be as accurate. The CPU AI is now more willing to take shots, even from a distance, when they see an opportunity.
