The latest Title Update #7 for EA Sports FC 25 is now live across all platforms, bringing a wave of significant changes and improvements. Following a relatively quiet period over the holidays, EA Sports has returned with a substantial update focusing on key areas of the game, particularly Ultimate Team. This update addresses various bugs and introduces gameplay tweaks, enhancing the overall FC 25 experience.
This update may not be as extensive as some previous ones, but it delivers crucial fixes and adjustments that players will appreciate. The primary focus is on resolving issues within Ultimate Team, but gameplay, Career Mode, audio, and visuals also receive attention. Let’s dive into the details of what Title Update #7 offers.
Ultimate Team Enhancements
Several key issues within Ultimate Team have been addressed in this update. These fixes aim to improve pack opening experiences, player item displays, and overall stability. Here’s a breakdown:
- Player Pick Item Functionality: A visual glitch causing Player Pick Items to sometimes appear tradable has been rectified. This was purely a visual error and did not affect the actual tradability status of the items.
- Pack Opening Stability: The update addresses stability problems that could occur when opening multiple Player Pick Packs, ensuring a smoother experience.
- Player Item Portrait Alignment: Misaligned player portraits during walkout animations have been corrected, providing a more polished presentation.
- Double Walkout Player Item Details: When a pack contains two walkout players, the details of the first player are now correctly displayed in the tunnel sequence, rather than the second player’s information.
- Country Flag Display Timing: The timing of the country flag display during pack opening animations has been fixed.
Gameplay Adjustments
Several gameplay improvements have been implemented, focusing on player positioning, goalkeeper behavior, skill moves, passing accuracy, and other aspects. These changes aim to create a more realistic and balanced gameplay experience.
- Improved Player Positioning: The update addresses situations where the positioning system brought players too close to the ball carrier, resulting in excessive auto-tackles and midfielders being pulled out of position.
- Enhanced Goalkeeper Reactions: Fixes have been implemented to address instances where goalkeepers would deflect the ball instead of catching it, creating a more natural saving animation.
- Skill Move Responsiveness: Issues with unresponsive or untriggered skill moves have been resolved, ensuring players have full control over their actions.
- Goalkeeper Desperation Animations: Goalkeepers will now consistently perform desperation animations when running back to the goal on chip shots.
- Throw-in Animation Fix: An issue causing broken throw-in animations due to player interactions with the ball kid has been resolved.
- Lobbed Through Pass Accuracy: The update corrects instances where attempting a lobbed through pass would result in a ground pass instead.
- Precision Lobbed Headers: Players will no longer be able to perform precision lobs off of headers, preventing unrealistic long-distance headers.
- Goalkeeper Jumping Animation: Unrealistic goalkeeper jumping animations during saves have been addressed.
- Precision Pass UI: The Precision Pass UI will no longer incorrectly enlarge after a pass is made.
- Super Cancel Functionality: An issue where the Super Cancel sometimes failed to stop the player from running after the ball has been fixed.
- First-Time Lofted Through Pass Accuracy: The accuracy of first-time lofted through passes has been reduced for better balance.
- Player Visibility: A rare issue causing players to appear invisible on the pitch has been resolved.
Career Mode and Clubs Updates
This update brings stability improvements and addresses several issues in both Manager Career and Player Career modes, including:
- Live Starting Point Stability: A stability issue that could occur while playing Live Starting Point has been fixed.
- Manager Career Substitution Stability: Stability issues arising from consecutive substitutions during simulations in Manager Career have been resolved.
- Club Creation Stability: A rare stability issue that could occur when creating a club in Manager Career has been addressed.

Additionally, the update introduces changes to enhance the Career Mode experience:
- Increased Player Roles Familiarity: Managers can now be familiar with more Player Roles, adding depth to team management.
- Updated UEFA Competition Rules: UEFA competition rules have been updated to prevent teams from facing opponents from their own domestic league and limit the number of opponents from the same association.
General, Audio, and Visual Enhancements
- Updated Assets: Various in-game assets, including tifos, stadium themes, balls, kits, hair, stadiums, trophies, star heads, crests, props, scenes, broadcasting elements, and crowds have been updated.
- Favourite Team Selector: A new Favourite Team Selector feature allows Squads and Line-Up saves to be carried over to Seasons and Co-Op Seasons.
