The first game in the series was released all the way in December 1993. and FC 25 Coins has never looked back since. With gameplay innovations that have transformed the title in ways one couldn't have imagined, the series has discarded some classic tropes along the way. Here are some of the most notable aspects in this regard that are notably absent from the modern series.

There was a time when FIFA games used to be hotly contested on the basis of player skill, and nothing else. The quality of the teams picked also mattered, but it was the individual skill of a player that ultimately governed their chances of winning. However, in modern times, FIFA games tend to focus more on RNG as opposed to a player's inputs. FC 25 Ultimate Team has made this dynamic even more commonplace — now, players with deeper pockets can make up for this gap in skill instead of actually getting better at the game.

The Be a Pro mode was a great addition to FIFA. Creating a custom-made player and controlling them in various scenarios was genuinely entertaining. The fact that players could play as a goalkeeper as well in this mode made it even better. Considering fans enjoyed this element, it was rather puzzling as to why EA removed this beloved Be a Pro mode from modern FIFA titles. This was just one of the many omissions from the FIFA series that have left many fans disappointed, and one aspect that makes modern games in the series play differently than older titles.

The announcement of The Journey felt like a fresh change of pace from the somewhat repetitive career mode that fans were stuck with for the longest time. Now, players could step into the shoes of a brand new character in the form of Alex Hunter, and guide him through his journey to become a professional footballer. After three years, cheap FIFA 25 Coins brought the story of Alex Hunter to a close. Most players wondered why EA didn't just choose to continue adding the Journey for FC 25 Ultimate Teamure games with a different protagonist, as fans had enjoyed this story mode.
