In the Division Rivals of the popular Ultimate Team mode in EA Sports FC 25, relegations will return. Additionally, the system for earning weekly and monthly rewards has been modified.
To better ensure you are facing opponents of similar skill and not getting stuck in a Division that isnโt suited to your current level, weโre reducing the overall number of checkpoints. Weโre also bringing back relegation when competing in the highest divisions.
Division Rivals Rewards: Qualifying for rewards in Rivals will now be done by earning points rather than wins. Points will be earned for both wins and draws, 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw, meaning hard earned draws will now help you progress towards your weekly rewards in FC 25.
Rivals legacy division placement: Donโt think your progress in FC 24 has gone unnoticed. In FC 25, your starting Division in Rivals will take into account your highest Division achieved from FC 24. This adjustment will help you get to a well-suited Division faster, earn higher tier rewards quicker and help ensure our new players arenโt playing against our highly skilled veterans at the start of the game.
Live Football Ultimate Team Friendlies: Weโre aiming for Friendlies to be a space where you can build new squads, evolve your players, complete objectives and have a more casual matchmaking experience.ย
Thatโs why weโve changed matchmaking in Friendlies to be based on your win form. You will now be matched against opponents who have won or lost as many games as you have in Friendlies, creating a more level playing field where you can experiment with new players, Evo your favorites, explore new tactics, or just enjoy a one-off match.
SBC Storage: In FC 25, weโre introducing a storage system for Untradable Duplicate Players. You can send and keep up to 100 items in your SBC storage, and easily recall these players from a new tab in every SBC.
Evolution Requirements: Weโve heard your feedback and are looking to make Evolution requirements less restrictive in FC 25, enabling you to use a bigger variety of Player Items in Evolutions more often. Weโll also be adding more Evolutions so there are more opportunities to upgrade your Player Items.
