For years, Switch owners were subjected to barely updated roster ports. However, following the groundwork laid by FC 24, EA Sports FC 25 on Switch is no longer a laughable port. It is a competent, feature-rich hybrid football game, but it still lags behind the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC versions in significant technical ways.
| Pros | Cons | | :--- | :--- | | Best handheld football available: Much better than previous FIFA/FC entries on Switch. | 30 FPS Cap: Not suitable for high-level competitive play compared to other consoles. | | Cross-Play Support: You are not isolated in a small player pool. | Visual Downgrades: Textures and crowds look blurry on large TVs. | | Full Feature Set: Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and Clubs are all present. | Legacy Stigma: While improved, it is still technically a "scaled-down" port of the main game. | | Portability: The ability to play a full-fat football sim on the go is the selling point. | New Rush Mode: Can feel chaotic at 30fps on the Switch hardware. | EA Sports FC 25 marks the second installment
