The release of EA Sports FC 24 is just around the corner. Now we have insights into some new features and information about the launch of the Ultimate Team mode.
What’s happening with EA Sports FC 24: It won’t be long now until EA Sports FC 24 is released. By the end of this week, players can start in Early Access.
After a lot of ratings for EA Sports FC 24 were published, some details about the start of the game have now been revealed. For example, it was announced when the web app will be available.
In addition, a lot of other information was presented, mainly focusing on Ultimate Team. We summarize here six of the most interesting new features.
EA Sports FC 24 introduces new features for FUT
In the new pitch notes for Ultimate Team, there is a wealth of information about the mode, which also returns in EA FC 24. We summarize some of the most exciting points here; you can find the complete list in the pitch notes (via ea.com).
Evolutions: This is a new type of card that you can upgrade repeatedly. EA has now announced that every week in the first season of FUT – named Welcome to the Club
– new evolutions will be available. A total of 12 will be introduced during this season.
You will be able to upgrade these cards in three categories: gameplay, utility, and cosmetic. This will include better stats, new positions, visual upgrades, and more for your cards.
Additionally, the evolutions system is expected to be combined with promo events, such as Centurions.
Team of the Week: There has often been criticism that the TOTW is currently too weak. EA FC 24 will address this by making the following changes:
- All TOTW players will have at least an 80+ rating.
- TOTW players can receive larger upgrades in specific attributes to make them more competitive.
- There will again be featured TOTW cards, which can also receive upgrades in weak foot and skills. PlayStyles will also play a role here.
Additionally, cards from the top 5 women’s leagues will also appear in the TOTW.
Women’s Cards in Ultimate Team: For the first time, female players will also be playable in Ultimate Team, and it will also be possible to create mixed teams.
In the pitch notes, EA provided further details about special cards:
- 5 icons and 3 hero cards for women will be available in FUT, which can also receive moments cards.
- In events, women will also receive special cards, just like men. They will be available in packs, in objectives, and in SBCs.
FUT Champions: FUT Champions is the mode with the best rewards in Ultimate Team. Here you will play not only the qualification but also the FUT Champions Finals, i.e., the Weekend League.
An important change is that the well-known FUT Champions players, i.e., the red player choice cards, will no longer be included in the typical Weekend League rewards but will be replaced by a reward of comparable value. However, what exactly that will be is still unclear.
However, EA states that they will not completely disappear but will reappear throughout the year – just when and how is also unclear.
Additionally, the rewards will be updated from rank 2. Also in the Rivals mode, divisions 2 and above will receive better rewards.
Squad Battles: The halftime length in the mode against AI will be reduced to 4 minutes. This should please fans of the mode, as more matches can be completed in less time. Furthermore, only 32 matches per week will count towards the rating, instead of 40.
Seasons: The seasons in Ultimate Team are intended to play a more important role and better connect with the promos in FUT. Additionally, these will be more connected with the swap system, where you earn tokens and exchange them for rewards.
Moreover, you will now receive weekly EP rewards in Squad Battles, Rivals, and Champions to help you climb higher in the seasonal ranking.
Just before the first season, the first event will also take place: Ultimate Team starts with the Mad-Ready promo, which is primarily intended to distribute cosmetic upgrades for players. The stats will remain the same. However, the promo will start with the Early Access in EA Sports FC 24.
It can be assumed that more information about EA Sports FC 24 will be revealed in the coming days. We will keep you updated here at MeinMMO.
