In EA Sports FC 25, there are a few new features that add to the overall gaming experience. One such feature is the Tactical Foul which helps you most when an opponent rushes toward to goal. This guide will explain how to carry out tactical fouls, when to commit them, and what are their effects.
What Is A Tactical Foul
Tactical Foul is an intentional foul that stops the opposite team from pressing home an advantage and probably scoring a goal. Like in real-life football, in EA FC 25 you can get your players to commit a tactical foul, and if you time just at the right moment – like for example if you are leading and the opposite team gets the ball dangerously close to scoring a goal right in the end minutes of the game, it can make the difference between winning or losing. But as it’s easy to imagine, you will have to risk your player getting a yellow or a red card.
How To Do A Tactical Foul
When you want to do a tactical foul make sure that you are near the opponent in possession of the ball, approach from behind, and commit the foul. This increases the chances of successfully pulling off the foul without a missed attempt.
You execute the Tactical Foul in EA FC 25 with the following key combos:
- On PlayStation, R1 + X at the same time.
- On Xbox, RB, + A at the same time.
- On Nintendo R + B at the same time.

When To Use Tactical Foul In EA FC 25
A Tactical Foul is like the last resort when everything else has failed and you see a chance of the opposite team running away with the match.
