There are not many changes in EA FC 25 when it comes to controller settings. One significant change is the introduction of the Reaction Time Modifier. It reduces the chances of the wrong player switch when you press L1/LB, but the next player switch target has already changed. I prefer turning it off, as I have learned to adapt myself to the switching delay in multiplayer modes.
