Let’s dive into the details. The Standard Edition of EAFC 25 is priced at $69.99. With it, you get the full game and a variety of bonuses to enhance your experience:

  • Football Ultimate Team™ Player Loan Item: Try out a top player in your Ultimate Team for a limited number of matches.
  • Ambassador Loan Item: Access to star players like Mbappé or Bellingham for 10 games.
  • Clubs PlayStyles Slot: Customize your play style in Clubs mode.
  • 250,000 Clubs Coins: Give your club a financial boost.
  • Player Career Personality Points: Develop your player’s personality traits in Career Mode.
  • Three ICONs in Player Career: Add legends like Beckham or Ronaldo to your career journey.
  • Five-Star Coach in Manager Career: Start with a top-tier coach in Manager Mode.
  • Five-Star Youth Scout in Manager Career: Recruit the best young talent right from the start.

Perks of Ultimate Edition

On the other hand, the Ultimate Edition comes in at $99.99 and includes everything from the Standard Edition, plus some enticing extras:

  • Seven Days Early Access: This perk, however, no longer exists, as the game is already out.
  • Untradeable Ultimate Team Hero Player Item: Secure a high-impact player for your Ultimate Team.
  • Untradeable Ultimate Team Player Item for EAFC 24: Get a bonus player if you’re transitioning from the previous game.
  • 4,600 FC Points: Use these points to open packs, enter drafts, or purchase items in the store.
  • Player Evolution Slot in Ultimate Team: Upgrade and evolve your players over time.

So, is the Ultimate Edition worth the extra $30? If you are likely to play Ultimate Team mode regularly, then the answer is most likely yes. 4600 FC Points is quite generous, especially since one is able to get better players or items without any further costs. The untradeable Hero Player Item elevates your squad from the onset by introducing a great player.

However, if you’re more of a casual player or someone who enjoys Career Mode or playing with friends, the Standard Edition offers plenty. You still get the full game and a host of bonuses that enhance various modes without the higher price tag.

Ultimately, it all boils down to the way you wish to engage with the game. If you want to have all the benefits of Ultimate Team and are very excited to start playing the game, then the Ultimate Edition is worth every penny spent. In contrast, the Standard Edition is more economical but does not compromise on the enjoyment and purposeful time spent on the game.
