EA FC 25 is now available worldwide on Early Access, and gamers are eager to take to the virtual pitch and test the new gameplay mechanics. With Ultimate Team Squad Battles and Manager Career Mode being two of the most popular modes, fans are wondering how to defeat the Legendary difficulty AI to make the most out of their time in-game.
In Ultimate Team, the weekly number of games for Squad Battles has been reduced from 32 to 14, making it even more lucrative for players to participate in this mode in the early stages of the game cycle. Similarly, with so many changes being made to Career Mode, veterans of the series will prefer to play on the highest difficulty setting to give themselves a challenge.

These are the best tips to beat Legendary AI in EA FC 25
While the in-game tactics and your approach to the game are certainly significant, having the right players for the job is just as important to beat Legendary AI in EA FC 25. Building a squad with the best players is easier in Ultimate Team for Squad Battles, but gamers can similarly tweak their Career Mode squads by training their players or signing new talent for their roster.
On the other hand, these are the best gameplay tips once you have the best squad you can feasibly build:
1) Get accustomed to the new FC IQ system
Tactics and team management have completely changed in EA FC 25. Player instructions are now a thing of the past and have been replaced by Player Roles. Gamers can set up multiple custom tactics with varying formations and settings, catering to the strengths of the best players in their squads.
For example, if you have a player with a specific Player Role+ or Player Role++, the best idea would be to employ a formation where they can be used in that particular role. This will affect their off-the-ball movement and performance on the virtual pitch, making it easier to win against Legendary AI in EA FC 25. You should also have multiple tactical set-ups ready depending on the situation you are in.
2) Keep possession
Holding possession of the ball has been extremely important against Legendary AI in every installment so far, and EA FC 25 is no different. By denying the opponents possession, not only do you negate their chances of scoring, but you can be patient and build better opportunities to score yourself. Build the play using short and safe passes, switch the ball to the other flank under pressure, and do everything possible to keep hold of possession.
3) Practice timed finishing
Timed Finishing was first introduced in FIFA 19, and it has the potential to be more significant and useful than ever in EA FC 25. By pressing the shoot button again as soon as your player is about to strike the ball, you can unleash a green-timed shot which is much faster and more accurate, making it easier to score.
With how overpowered Legendary AI defenses are, you'll need this mechanic to make the most of your chances.
