Diogo Jota Removed from FC 25: Career Mode and Kick Off Update

In a heartfelt move, EA Sports has officially removed Portuguese forward Diogo Jota from EA FC 25. Jota, who tragically passed away recently, was not only a footballer but also a passionate gamer, highly respected in both communities. The decision to remove his presence from the game was made in the wake of overwhelming fan mourning and to honor his legacy.

There is also one aspect of FC 25's Jota tribute, which is generating a lot of noise and will surely resonate with both Liverpool and EA FC fans.

The news is officially out, and @cmtrackernet also posted a tweet about the update, sharing a picture that shows the number of players removed from FC 25. Now you can't even sign Jota in Career Mode either. Before removing Jota from the kick-off and career mode, EA FC 25 had already removed Him from the Ultimate Team mode and all the FUT packs he was included in.

Jota was not only one of the finest players on the pitch, but was also known for his gaming routine. This was recently reflected in top-flight football as players paid tributes to the Liverpool forward after scoring. Players replicated Jota's joypad celebration, which highlighted the Portuguese's love for the gaming culture.

Now FC 25 is also paying tribute to Jota by releasing his Tifos, which will be sent to every player who is playing FC 25. There will be three different Tifos, each featuring his jersey from Porto, Liverpool, and Wolverhampton. You can use any of them. Some fans also got angry about the fact that FC 25 gave the Tifos as a tribute to only Diogo Jota, but not his brother Andre Silva, who also played for Porto during his initial years.

Contrary to EA FC's decision, several EA FC fans on Instagram, Reddit, and X have been mourning Jota's loss, but they still want to use Jota's EA FC card to keep him in their memory.
