Four Bristol Rovers players went down to Smyths Toys at Cribbs Causeway on Friday as part of the launch of EA Sports FC 25.
Bryant Bilongo, Kamil Conteh, Kofi Shaw and Micah Anthony attended the launch event to play the new football game, sign autographs and take photos with fans.
FC 25 has many new features, including the 5v5 Rush experience that gives players a new way to play and win together. There has also been an overhaul of tactical foundations across the game and Live Start Points in Manager and Player Career modes to live out the biggest storylines. FC 25 is also the first-ever football game to have the option of playing as a manager in any of the top five leagues in women's football.
FC 25 has unrivalled authenticity and has 19,000+ players across more than 700 teams in over 120 stadiums.
“I enjoyed seeing all the kids come out and play a game I enjoyed as a kid,” said Bilongo. “Seeing myself on the game put a smile on my face as it is a dream to be on FC 25.”
Anthony added: “I found it fun, some of the kids were very competitive. I wasn’t expecting that. Some of them came in ready to go and to beat us, but we couldn’t have any mercy,” he laughed.
