Fans of EA Sports’ latest football game, FC25, have recently noticed an interesting detail about Jadon Sancho’s in-game character. Following the game’s release via early access, keen-eyed players have pointed out a significant change in Sancho’s appearance, specifically regarding his tattoos.
The full version of EA FC 25, the much-anticipated continuation of the beloved EA SPORTS FC series, is set to be released on September 27. However, fans who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition have already had access since the 20th, while certain streamers controversially gained access even earlier. The game brings several new features, such as a five-a-side mode that can be played in various game modes, including Kick Off, Pro Clubs, Career Mode, and Ultimate Team. Additionally, the game introduces new face scans for many football stars, like Kobbie Mainoo, whose likeness is included for the first time.
While fans have appreciated the attention to detail in these new face scans, Jadon Sancho’s character model has drawn attention for a different reason. The winger, now on loan at Chelsea, appears in FC25 with the same character design he has had in recent years. However, what fans only recently noticed is a crucial change related to Sancho’s distinctive tattoos.
In real life, Sancho’s tattoos include a sleeve that features well-known pop culture icons such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Spiderman, and characters from The Simpsons. Due to copyright restrictions, EA Sports was unable to replicate these tattoos in the game. Instead, Sancho’s in-game character is portrayed with blacked-out outlines of these iconic designs. This change has not gone unnoticed by players who are used to the level of detail the game delivers.
Jadon Sancho’s Tattoos Altered in EA FC 25 Due to Copyright Issues, Fans React
Beyond his visual appearance, Sancho’s performance rating in FC25 has remained at 82, a significant drop from his earlier rating of 87 when he first returned to English football. This lower rating reflects his struggles over the past few seasons, where he has had inconsistent performances and failed to meet the expectations that followed his return from Borussia Dortmund. Despite his improved form during a loan spell last season, the game does not offer Sancho a rating upgrade, leaving the 24-year-old winger with something to prove.
Given these details, it seems that while EA FC25 brings many fresh elements to the table, not every player will see their virtual counterpart perfectly reflect their real-world persona, especially when copyright issues are involved.
Fans of EA Sports’ latest football title, EA FC 25, have recently spotted an intriguing detail about Jadon Sancho’s in-game character. Since the game’s early access release, many eagle-eyed players have pointed out a noticeable change to his appearance that wasn’t initially obvious but has now become a talking point across the gaming community.
The full release of EA FC 25, part of the highly popular EA SPORTS FC series, is just days away, with a planned launch on September 27. However, those who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition were given the privilege of accessing the game as early as September 20. This early access stirred some controversy, especially with select streamers receiving the full game even earlier, adding to the buzz and anticipation.

Among these is a brand new five-a-side mode that can be enjoyed in various sections of the game, including Kick Off, Pro Clubs, Career Mode, and the ever-popular Ultimate Team.
