It's about legality to be specific. EA after FIFA 23, they gave up on the FIFA branding, and as a result they went with EA FC instead. The licensing of the name FIFA was getting more expensive for EA to run for with. They been using the name FIFA since mid-late 90s/early 2000s when FIFA first came out. Not to mention, FIFA itself (not EA's licensed games, but the actual association itself) has run into some issues with the football players in real life and FIFA has been self-destroying itself for quite a couple years now.
Mistreatment of players, willy-nilly rules that sometimes make sense while other times it doesn't. For the rules part, let's say you shot the ball towards the net, but hit the top bar, and the ball is on the line, but halfway through getting the score, and it should count as score, but it doesn't, whilst the enemy team happens to do the same thing, but THEY get the score instead of your team. FIFA tends to lean towards one team or another to favour.
This behaviour from FIFA would then reflect on EA's reputation as well because EA has the license to the name FIFA (or had in this case), and the worse FIFA's rep is, the more money they would of extorted out of EA. Hence why you now see EA FC 24/25 instead of the usual FIFA name.
