While each iteration of the FC franchise has included minor changes to the game, none of them have had a significant impact on the player. For example, the changes between FC 25 Coins included adding features from older games and showcasing them as new features, such as the Visual Sim. The series is in desperate need of a bigger change, and like Visual Concepts, EA will need to ensure that FC 25 Ultimate Teamure FC titles make adjustments that force players to think in different ways.

FC 25 Ultimate Teamure FC titles will need to revamp the offline game modes and especially the FC Street game mode, VOLTA. This is an area where EA can learn from Visual Concepts, who successfully integrated simulation and arcade elements into WWE 2K22‘s gameplay. VOLTA was never a successful street game, and for EA to relive the past glory of FC Street, an arcade approach would be more impactful. In Career Mode as well, having certain arcade elements outside of matches where players would need to manage a club could be the significant change needed to diversify the FC titles. Remaking the game engine to improve the Street game mode would have a major impact on FC 25 Ultimate Teamure titles as well.

EA has decided to focus its efforts on the online game mode Ultimate Team more than the offline modes, mainly because Ultimate Team is how the game generates most of its income. However, this has led to the offline game modes suffering from a lack of attention by the developers. In recent years, EA has added a few options to the Kick-Off game mode, making it a more attractive couch co-op mode for fans, but the one area where EA failed to make any meaningful improvements was Career Mode.

While Create-A-Club was a good feature, the lack of depth within Create-A-Club ensured it was only as exciting as a regular Manager Career Mode with a new squad. The creation suite available to players in this mode also lacks depth, and the game mode offers little sense of progression. The only game mode that has a sense of realism to it is the Player Career Mode, where players must earn their spot in the starting 11 and will often be loaned out if they start with a high-profile club. This level of depth needs to be added to the other game modes to give FC players a real sense of progression.

EA has long been criticized by fans for not devoting enough time to the offline game modes of FC, and while it makes sense to focus on the money-making online game modes from a business standpoint, FC 25 Ultimate Teamure cheap EA FC Coins titles may have to give up on this approach since the upcoming free-to-play UFL game is set to provide competition.
