Battle on the virtual field: EAFC vs FC Mobile

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The start of the new A1 Adria League season is just days away and we couldn’t be more excited! Once again we will host many games one of which will be EAFC. In A1AL we have tournaments in EAFC24 which can be played on console and PC, and EAFC Mobile which, as you know, is played on your smartphones. If you’re a new player or someone just deciding to enter the esports world through one of these games, but you don’t know how to choose, you’ve come to the right place. Keep reading to find out what makes these two games special and what they have to offer to Balkan players.

Why choose EAFC 24/25?

As for EAFC for consoles/PC, this is what the current maximum of technical possibilities can offer us. Next-gen consoles and PC always accompany the latest mechanics and the best appearance. Unlike EAFC Mobile, a certain amount of money must be allocated for EAFC to enjoy it. However, considering the amount of content that EAFC brings every year, players can reach the ingame team which can satisfy the competition’s needs. 

I spoke with our EAFC administrator KoRaa about this game and how is A1 Adria League helping new players get some experience while competing with the best that our region has to offer.

The best thing of all, A1 Adria League is a platform that for years has been offering a chance to the best players and those who are just starting to compete at an enviable level with a top organization. An interesting fact is that in the 14th season, after the qualifying tournament, we switch to a new version of EAFC 25. This will require players to quickly adapt, assemble a team and master new mechanics in order to gain an advantage in the group stage of the competition. Considering that, players with Ultimate Edition EAFC will have the advantage of five days of early access with which a significant lead can be achieved, both on the field and when assembling the team. And for the one who is the fastest, the competition could certainly pay off.

We already talked about the new EAFC25 game and how the graphics, visuals and the whole interface is astonishing. Besides that, EAFC will have some changes and the players should be careful in the new A1 Adria League season, which is why I asked KoRaa for some advice.

My advice for the players is that they must register for the new season, and practice EAFC25 immediately after securing a place in the TOP 16 at EAFC24.

As you know the first qualifier is scheduled for September 14h, so make sure to sign up! This year the competition is bringing the prize pool of 3,500 euros.

FC Mobile’s rise

EAFC24 Mobile has recently joined our league and hasn’t been around in A1AL as long as its predecessor. However, this game experienced a sudden hype in the last year with the upcoming spectator mode. This allowed FC Mobile to join the competitive side of EA sports. The biggest advantage of this mobile game is that it can be played at any time and any place. You can even compete in tournaments while outside as long as you have a stable internet connection.

I spoke with our EAFC24 Mobile administrator ProSoldier who told me more about the game and its strong Balkan community.

The graphics are at a very enviable level for a mobile game and every week we have new updates regarding events. The Balkan community is perhaps the most active community in the world as far as tournaments are concerned. We were the first in every segment, and always the first to introduce innovations. And we were the first to enter the esports world out of all FC Mobile communities that exist.

A lot of people don’t realize how big the EAFC24 Mobile community in the Balkan is. But our players and content creators are known worldwide. The most famous are StefanTV, Bera FC MOBILE, and Nikolas7, who works closely with EA admins and game developers from EA to improve the game.

Last, but not least, here is some advice for EAFC24 Mobile players from ProSoldier.

Follow the BFL organization as one of the biggest in the region, especially the round reviews on YouTube and practice as much as possible in order to get into a situation to fight for valuable cash prizes and make new friends along the way in different communities, as well as BFL and A1AL.

The first A1AL qualifier is scheduled for September 14th and will be played on the same day as EAFC24 so don’t wait any longer and sign up now! Also don’t forget to follow A1AL social media and our streams!

Taking a first look at EAFC25 with KoRaa!

We are all excited about the new EAFC game. Even though the game is set to be released worldwide in September of this year, you can preorder it and try it out early on. If you want to know about the biggest changes and what EAFC25 will look like, read on to learn what our A1AL admin Maid “KoRaa” Korić says about it.

“I have already played FC25, Copy-paste of the last game?”

I sat down with KoRaa recently to discuss the new EAFC game and he had a lot of interesting thoughts. We discussed the gameplay, graphics, and changes that EA is bringing with this game as well as the things that stayed the same. For better or for worse.

“Because of the NDA, I am limited in what I can discuss, but I am free to discuss anything they have formally disclosed as well as my thoughts on it. I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to test out a new version of the game even before the “beta phase.” Having not been quite satisfied with the previous four installations, I didn’t have high expectations for this one,” stated our EAFC admin.

Of course, my first question was about the graphics in EAFC25 since with every new release the game and the players look better and better. KoRaa agreed with me.

“As always, EA’s graphics and interface impressed me once again. They are mostly same as the last year’s, but no issues there, astonishing visuals, smoother menu, and easy to navigate, not a subject to change in my opinion.”

Gameplay is the most important aspect of the game and I loved to hear such a detailed description of what the new EA game is bringing to the table. KoRaa spared me no detail as he was explaining this to me.

“I had a chance to play around 15-20 matches. That was enough for me to get a first impression about how it’s gonna play out most likely. Everything appears to be the same at first glance—no differences from FC24; identical graphics and game speed.
However, after a few games, I realized how significant the alterations might actually be. FC IQ may appear to be an update to an outdated tactics system. Moreover, it goes much beyond that. Although team formations may appear straightforward in the menus, you can make each configuration flexible and distinct by adding player roles and additional instructions. This will force you to adapt and estimate your opponent’s strategies throughout every match. It is hoped that there won’t be “one” flawed strategy that is adopted by everybody. I am quite concerned that FC IQ might make defending even more assisted. But that’s yet to be discovered since I played only against AI.”

Our admin is also warning the players that they shouldn’t rely too much on the game when it comes to the accuracy of the passes. What other changes will there be I asked?

“I have to note a change to the passing system, which requires more logical passes, and making sure you can’t pass blindly with the game helping you to find your teammate.

Another notable change is that there are no more “contracts” which is a well-welcomed change that should have been made ages ago. Also, there is a new 5V5 game mode in Ultimate Team called “Rush” which I have not had a chance to try out. But I am very excited to see what it can bring to the table.”

He ended this lovely conversation by adding that we shouldn’t expect any remarkable breakthroughs or miracles that will amaze us in EAFC25. And on a more positive note, he does not doubt that local gamers will entertain us once more and boost our improvement with their hints and techniques.
