In EA FC 24 has premiered its new Thunderstruck event. In the course of this, many new, upgradeable special cards were introduced, including dynamic icons. We will clarify the details of the event and show you all the released players as well as other leaks.
What can you expect from the Thunderstruck event? If the translation into German is to be believed, we will be “hit or touched by lightning” from this event. Metaphorically, Thunderstruck describes an overwhelming experience. And yes, something big is really coming our way.
Events with dynamic cards have always been very popular with the FIFA community. You can expect such upgradeable players in abundance in the new promotion. A major highlight are especially the dynamic icons, as they have never existed in the history of FIFA.
How do the upgrades work? The improvements depend on the performance of the clubs where the players are currently under contract; in the case of the icons, these are the clubs where they spent the most successful time of their careers.
With the release of the Thunderstruck promotion, teams have four matches in their domestic league to give the special cards one or more updates. The improvements for Thunderstruck icons differ from the upgrades of the normal Thunderstruck players, as you can see in the following image.
While normal Thunderstruck players can collect up to 2 Inform upgrades and two additional playstyles, the already strong Thunderstruck icons can, at best, get an additional playstyle and an Inform upgrade.
If you don’t want to miss any progress on the upgrades, we recommend our Thunderstruck tracker.
