Football is the most popular sport in the majority of countries in the world. Not so long ago there were two major competing football games - EAs FC 25 Coins and Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer. Konami lost that battle.
EAs FC is today's number one football simulation game. It all started in 1994 with the first game called FC International Soccer, facing competition from other football games such as Sensible Soccer, Kick-Off, and Match Day. The FC series is now one of the most successful franchises in gaming history, so to highlight the series' success, we've listed the FC sales figures over the best-selling entries.
Updated on November 7. 2021. by Jack Pursey: When it comes to franchises with yearly releases, it can be hard to differentiate the games when looking back on them. Even diehard fans who have bought every FC entry since its FC 94inception would likely struggle to pinpoint key features and changes of past games.
The latest entry, FC 25. has recently hit stores. The game suffers from many of the common modern FC issues, such as the prioritizing of the microtransaction-heavy Ultimate Team mode, though the game has been praised for offering some of the best gameplay in the series, which may help it land on this list one day.
So, to help those who are wanting to reminisce, or are perhaps curious as to why the games listed below sold as well as they did, we've updated this list to include their release date to show the FC sales by year, each entry's available platforms, and why each entry sold so well.
Cheap EAFC 25 Coins was the game that started the franchise in a new decade. It's pretty similar to its predecessor in terms of graphics and gameplay. The new addition available in the game is a feature called "Total Football Experience" in which football news, like player transfers, fixtures, and results, from around the globe are visible. Additionally, features regarding the transfer system and the assistant manager were also improved.
