A big new feature in the FIFA successor EA Sports FC 24 will be the new “Evolutions” system, which allows players to improve their own cards. We show you how it works and answer the open questions.
What is “Evolutions”? With “Evolutions”, EA has introduced a new feature for Ultimate Team in FC 24 that allows you to strengthen selected cards by completing tasks. Not only can the rating improve, but there are also improvements for the following attributes:
- Skill Moves
- Weak Foot
- Work Rates
- PlayStyles
- Positions
A player can be improved multiple times and can even change the design of the card through “Evolutions”.
How “Evolutions” works in EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team
This is how the “Evolutions” system works: Basically, “Evolutions” works by having you choose a player from your own club that fits the offered “Evolution”. For an “Evolutions”, only silver cards or left-backs with 3-star weak foot may be used.
Once you have a suitable player ready, you can place the card in the “Evolutions” system. There are different levels to improve your card. Each level requires you to complete various tasks.
These can be simple like: “Score 5 goals with the card” or more difficult like: “Win 5 weekend league matches with this card.” Once you have completed all the tasks of a level, the card receives the previously set upgrade.
In this example, EA shows how a Level 2 upgrade for Moukoko works:
Which players can be improved? According to EA, not every player can be placed in the “Evolutions” system. The above-mentioned requirements must be checked beforehand. However, new “Evolutions” are expected to be released throughout the year with different requirements.
Are the “Evolutions” free? According to EA, a selection of “Evolutions” is always offered free of charge per season. However, there will be “Evolutions” that can only be unlocked with coins or points (real currency).
In addition, the Pitch Notes reveal the following points about the “Evolutions” system:
- Once a player is added to the “Evolutions” system, they become untradeable and can no longer be offered on the transfer market.
- One can only complete tasks for one “Evolutions” player at a time.
- If you use a card for an “Evolutions”, that is final and the card cannot be changed.
- Completed “Evolutions” players can also be used in SBCs (Squad Building Challenges).
- The same player can be improved multiple times through “Evolutions”.
- There are time limits for the “Evolutions”. If you do not complete all levels, you will receive upgrades up to the completed level.
Will “Evolutions” bring mega cards for everyone? That remains to be seen! Because the new system seems to come with some hurdles. It will be important for the offered “Evolutions” to keep pace with the current power curve and the meta, and for the upgrades to be strong enough.
Additionally, it would be important for strong evolution opportunities to also be unlocked without coins or points. We remain curious.
