The defenders seem to be more pro active in FC 25 but unfortunately the developers have gone a bit overboard with the issuing of yellow and red cards within the game. I am not too sure what they are trying to achieve here. I have played this game for years but it has been the first time that I had two players sent off in kick off mode and I never used the slide tackle button in this mentioned game. I received a yellow card on nearly every tackle I made.
