EA FC 25 Vs. EA FC 24: Stunning Facial Render Comparisons Of Top Stars
As EA FC 25 rolls out on September 27, with early access for those who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition on September 20, fans are curious about the visual advancements from its predecessor, EA FC 24. While the differences may be subtle, the question of how much better EA FC 25 is than EA FC 24 lingers in the air.
Throughout my exploration, I have observed minor differences in art style between the two games. Which game showcases better renders might just boil down to personal preference. Here’s a side-by-side comparison of facial renders for some of the sport’s biggest stars, beginning with Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe.
The image lighting varies significantly, giving EA FC 24 a glossier look compared to EA FC 25. Despite likely using the same head renders with different shaders and lighting, the end results are distinct.
Both versions demonstrate exceptional detail, especially in hair rendering. No sports video game matches EA FC’s mastery in capturing diverse hair textures and movements. Mbappe’s waves look impeccable. Let’s delve into the comparisons of nine other top stars.
Cover Athlete
The cover athlete from EA FC 24 appears slightly different in EA FC 25. Notable changes include a longer face and a squarer jawline. Although some differences may result from lighting, others appear to stem from the new rendering techniques.
Robert Lewandowski
Both Lewandowski renders are impressive, but the EA FC 24 version has a slight edge, appearing less like a traditional video game image.
Vinicius Jr.
There seems to be something off about Vini Jr’s render in EA FC 25, particularly the head shape. Comparing with a real-life image of the Real Madrid star, these discrepancies become more apparent.
Lionel Messi
The legendary Messi looks remarkable in both games. However, the lighting in EA FC 25 highlights his distinct features more effectively.
Bukayo Saka
Arsenal’s young star appears even younger in EA FC 25, possibly due to thinner neck models giving a more youthful appearance.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo’s renders seem identical across both games, with primary differences attributed to head angle and lighting.
Erling Haaland
Haaland’s renders show an unusual trend where the EA FC 25 version looks more realistic compared to others, though both versions exhibit striking details.
Kevin De Bruyne
De Bruyne’s render in EA FC 25 introduces one of the most noticeable changes, including an updated hairstyle reflecting a September 18 UEFA Champions League match. However, there’s room for debate about the skin tone accuracy.
Mohamed Salah
EA has consistently excelled with Salah’s render, showing little difference between EA FC 24 and EA FC 25. The beauty of the game shines through regardless of these minor changes.
In conclusion, while some may favor certain aspects of each version’s depictions, it’s clear that EA maintains a high standard in rendering the soccer world’s biggest stars. Each iteration brings its own stylistic improvements and nuances, continuing to captivate fans of the beautiful game.
