Player positioning is an essential aspect of EA FC, regardless of your favorite game mode, as it helps create a realistic and immersive football experience. In EA FC 25, the developers aim to further improve positioning, player roles, and team tactics by introducing FC IQ.

In previous iterations, EA relied heavily on real-world football data and in-game statistics to fine-tune player positioning and behaviour. While this technology has come a long way over the franchise’s history, FC IQ aims to create more lifelike and tactically aware players.
FC IQ allows players to have specific roles in EA FC 25 that correspond to their positions on the pitch. This new system allows you to set a formation and then define individual roles for players.
For example, Cristiano Ronaldo can be an Advance Forward, and you can assign him different roles in FC IQ. You can push him out of his comfort zone or find a way to use him that no one has thought of before. While you can always use a player in a role that he’s not used to, you can reduce his overall efficiency, and EA FC 25 will let you know when this happens.
