As we all know, EA Sports has long been an industry benchmark for providing players with immersive sports simulation games. EA Sports FC series continues to provide authentic content, including officially licensed players, leagues, and stadiums, and its detailed reproduction of the sport of football is amazing.
EA Sports FC 25 is a game released in late September 2024. Although it received mixed reviews when it first appeared, many people were interested in it. However, downloading EA FC 25 requires a price of at least $80, which is not acceptable to all players.
In the following five months, although the game has experienced several price cuts, some players who are interested in it are still deterred by the high price.
But just recently, things have taken a turn for the better. FC 25 ushered in a major seasonal update, which brought some gameplay changes, bug fixes, and a streamlined free game version. I believe you must be very curious. Well, I’m here to introduce you to this free version of the game: EA Sports FC 25 Showcase.
Introduction
EA FC 25 Showcase is a free version of the game, which means you can rotate through modes and content, and play a portion of it before getting the full version.
You can download FC 25 Showcase on the following platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam, EA Play, Epic Games, etc. You can experience the game mechanics and features on all platforms without paying, which is very attractive.
But this does not mean that you don’t have to pay anything, there is no free lunch. You still have to pay in the game, because you can only get a better game experience after you get a lot of EA FC 25 Coins.
Unlike traditional demos of other games you have played, FUT 25 Showcase does not impose a time limit. Once you download the game on a certain platform, it will always be available. This means that you can continue to access it indefinitely, which is really good news for us. You have the flexibility to explore the game before getting the full version.
Content
Having said so much, you must also want to know what FC 25 Showcase includes. Don’t worry, I will introduce it to you next.
- Training Course: You can practice different scenarios for football games.
- Rush: You can practice sprint mode before entering the online Club’s version.
- Skill Games: You can practice different dribbles that you can use to deceive your opponents during the match.
- Practice Arena: This is a customizable court where you can check the game features, add players, practice set pieces, and even play against AI.
- Classic Match: This is a Classic 11v11 match where the teams you can choose from will rotate randomly, which means that the same league or team may not always be available.
- Create Your Player: You can create and customize players and use them in your club. You will be able to level up and gain XP and FC 25 Coins for sale through the game until you reach level 50. Then, Player progress in all your clubs will carry over to the full version you get.
- Rush: You can play 4v4 online matches with other players to gain XP and improve your players.
- Settings: You can access the full settings, including simulation settings, CPU slider, rules, graphics mode, gameplay, competitions, camera, visuals, audio, and customize the experience to your needs.
Cross-Play
Another highlight is that FUT 25 Showcase supports cross-play just like the full version, which allows players on different platforms to compete against each other, and it also allows friends on different systems to team up and play the game together.
Progression Carryover
Even more exciting is the news of progression carryover. If you decide to get the full version after experiencing EA Sports FC 25 Showcase, all the progress you made in the free version will carry over to the full game. This includes your club players, as well as all FC 25 Coins and achievements you earned in the free version.
How To Download It?
In fact, the way to download it is very simple. You just need to visit any platform store, such as PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam. In the platform store, you need to search for EA FC 25 Showcase in the search bar, then select the free version, and finally click Download. The most important point is to have an Internet connection turned on.
Play With Friends
I guess the most concerned point for everyone is whether you can play this game with friends. Fortunately, the answer to this question is yes. Of course, it is allowed whether your friend downloads the full version or Showcase version.
However, there is a problem here. Because Showcase is a trial version, it is subject to certain restrictions, so only the content available in that version can be accessed.
So, you will not be restricted from playing with friends who have the full version of the game. But when you play with players who also use the free version of the game, you will not be able to experience the content not included in Showcase.
If you want to play this game with friends, you need to add them to your friends list on the platform of your choice mentioned above. And you need to find the friends menu after entering the game, select the friends you want to play with, and then send them an invitation to invite them to join your lobby.
Or, you can choose other methods. You can invite friends from the selected game mode, or by connecting other controllers to your console, or play with friends locally on PC.
Now, are you eager to try it? Download and try to play this game. I hope you have fun at the game.
