RUSH is a brand new 5v5 social gaming experience that will debut in EA FC 25, so here’s all you need to know to understand this feature and how it will be applied across EA’s game.
EA Sports has created a new feature called RUSH that will pit a squad of 4 players against another team in online matches.
It is going to be integrated into existing modes in EA FC 25 as a way to refresh the game while taking advantage of the progression system players know and love. But what exactly is RUSH? Here’s all we know.
What is RUSH in EA FC 25?
RUSH is an online feature that was tailor-made for friends, and according to FC’s Senior Producer, Sam Rivera, it’s “the most exciting and engaging social experience they’ve ever created.”
It is built on the mechanics, depth, and balance of the usual 11v11 gameplay, but with some tweaks that allow players more time with the ball. This makes communication and each one of their moves and decisions crucial to the outcome of the match.

RUSH special features
There are two main features developed exclusively for RUSH: a new stadium and a new commentator.
The stadium was developed along with Nike, and its shape resembles the brand’s mercurial cleats and the very recognizable Swoosh. The arena has a 23.7-degree angle, the same as the Nike Swoosh, and plenty of environmental additions all around.
As for the commentator, the iconic Fernando Palomo from El Salvador will be included in RUSH matches to accompany players with his intense and exciting narration style.
