FC 25 Update #17 Implements Gameplay Improvements and Career Mode Updates
EA Sports has rolled out FC 25 update #17 across all platforms, targeting significant gameplay issues, Ultimate Team functionality, and Career Mode features. Release notes confirm targeted fixes and enhancements following player feedback in June 2024. The update aims to refine game balance and address persistent community concerns.
FC 25 Update #17 Adjusts Failed Tackles and Defensive Mechanics
The FC 25 update addresses core defensive gameplay by increasing recovery time after failed tackles, particularly for hard tackle attempts. The modification is designed to curb rapid, consecutive tackle attempts that previously gave defenders too much leeway. According to EA, “the intent of this change is to reduce situations where failed tackles instantaneously lead to another tackle attempt.”
