Rush Rules and Regulations.
Firstly, the pitch is much smaller in the Rush game mode, roughly 41.5% of a standard 11v11 pitch according to EA SPORTS. However, the penalty area and halfway circle are proportionately larger than those on a standard pitch, while goal post dimensions remain the same.
Matches will be 7-minutes long and this will be a continuous countdown with no half-times. The offside rule has also been changed, with players only being offside while in the attacking third, and no offsides in the defensive or middle third of the pitch.
Blue cards are also a brand new addition to Rush, with players who commit a serious foul being sidelined for one minute of the game. However, if you concede a goal, this timer will reduce by 15-seconds, allowing you to get back to full strength quicker.
Quick chat will also be coming to EA FC 25 with the Rush game mode, allowing players to send messages such as “Nice”, “Thanks”, and “Unlucky” to their opposing player.
