EA Sports tempts with promising bonuses for pre-ordering EA FC 24. If you were planning to buy the Ultimate Edition pre-order anyway, you can secure a strong extra bonus today.
As with previous FIFA games, you also have the option to choose from different versions when pre-ordering in 2023. In addition to the Standard Edition, which has a few small additional bonuses, the Ultimate Edition is interesting for many FIFA fans.
The Ultimate Edition, as its name suggests, offers enticing bonuses for starting the new Ultimate Team season. Besides the included extra FC Points and early access, you can secure a very special bonus only today.
Strong pre-order bonus gives you a Hero card
What is a Hero card? Heroes are former football players who have had a special career like Icons. Although they are not as strong as the strongest Icons, there are some cards that will definitely elevate your team to another level.
Since FIFA 23, these cards receive special promo cards in nearly every new event. The first known promo in FC 24 that will produce special Hero versions is linked to the UEFA Champions League. And one of these Champions League Heroes could belong to you.
However, you must pre-order the Ultimate Edition today. As shown in the image above, you can easily do this by logging into FIFA 23.
Which Heroes can I pull? Here you can see which Heroes are available for you.
In general, you can have more or less luck with your pre-order Heroes. For example, if you get a Ramires, a Tevez, or even a Sneijder, you hit the jackpot. But the other Heroes are definitely more than playable and fit into any team.
A detailed list of all Champions League Heroes, ratings, and their corresponding leagues can be found here.
When will you receive your Hero? You will only receive your Hero in November. The Champions League event is also expected to start at this time. This means you will have to wait a bit for the launch of FC 24.
The Ultimate Edition, however, offers additional bonuses that you will receive immediately after the game’s release. These can help you upgrade your Ultimate Team quickly.
