Each mode change is looking to solve a unique challenge but we wanted to tackle the changes together to ensure that playing in all three modes felt rewarding and balanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seasonal XP in Mode Rewards<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned above, Seasons will play a central role in Ultimate Team 24. As part of that shift, you\u2019ll notice that Squad Battles, Rivals, and Champions modes now feature weekly Seasonal XP rewards. This will help you make more progress on the Seasonal Ladder by playing in your mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Champions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Champions we\u2019ll update rewards throughout the year to make sure that they feel meaningful, whether you are playing in October, February, or June. The most notable change you\u2019ll see right away at launch is that Ultimate Team Champions Player Items (sometimes referred to as Red Picks) will be replaced by rewards of equivalent value in-game. Before jumping into more details about why we\u2019re making these changes, this doesn\u2019t mean that Ultimate Team Champions Players will be gone forever. Instead, we\u2019ll be focusing on how and when they show up in Ultimate Team throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By making these changes to Ultimate Team Champions rewards, we want to make rewards more relevant to your Ultimate Team journey throughout the year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original aim of Champions Players was to allow players to showcase their on-pitch ability, through special versions of Players in their squad. As we look at in-game usage, it\u2019s clear that Ultimate Team Champions Players&#8217; match usage drops the deeper into the Live Service we go, with Champions Players being used more and more in Squad Building Challenges (SBCs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, as the vast majority of leagues paused in November, we updated our Champions rewards in Season 2 which allowed players:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Greater ability to receive Campaign content as part of their Champions rewards&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An OVR minimum guarantee for player rewards that enabled greater options when completing SBCs&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By removing Champions Players from the default rewards lineup, we\u2019ll be able to focus on delivering more frequent changes to Champions rewards throughout the year, helping to keep them as a key avenue of growing your squad all season long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, we\u2019ll be updating Champions rewards for Rank 2 and above. A focus for us heading into EA SPORTS FC 24 is to ensure we better balance difficulty and rewards for elite play, and these changes look to reward the best of the best each and every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rivals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our focus on rewarding elite play is driving rewards changes in Rivals too, where we\u2019ll be updating rewards across the mode with extra attention on making Division 2 and above more rewarding. With this change we want to make sure that there\u2019s a better incentive to play in a higher division each week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similar to Champions, the Champions Players that could be earned in the Elite Division will be swapped for rewards of equivalent value at launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Squad Battles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As announced back in the Ultimate Team Deep Dive Pitch Notes, we\u2019re reducing Squad Battles halves to 4 minutes from 6 minutes. In addition we\u2019re reducing the total number of matches that count towards your weekly rank from 40 to 32.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our aim with these changes is to increase the amount of time you actively spend playing the game versus playing out the clock in some matches, as well as improving the rewards balance between playing offline &amp; online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ultimate Team Seasons&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another big change you\u2019ll see when you first login to EA SPORTS FC\u2122 24 is that Seasons play a central role within Ultimate Team and how you unlock rewards to customise your squad. Our new Seasons timeline will introduce more Seasons across the year that differ in length, to better connect Season Progress with Ultimate Team Campaigns, starting with \u201cWelcome to the Club\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we entered Ultimate Team 23, we felt like Seasons had much more potential. Throughout the year we made updates to better understand what you, the players, and this led to 3 focus areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rewards that felt relevant to what was happening within Ultimate Team at the time, with key choices that impact the way you build your squad.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A range of ways to unlock progress for playing Ultimate Team your way, in your mode.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear understanding of what you can do each week and also what&#8217;s to come in Ultimate Team, for new &amp; existing players.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past our Campaign Swaps and ICON Swaps have been incredibly popular within Ultimate Team, ticking a number of these motivations. However for some newer players, understanding how to earn and redeem tokens was complex, and it could even cause challenges for established players if you forgot to redeem your rewards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We believe combining Swaps rewards into Season Progress allows players to better understand and see their progress each season as you work towards building your dream team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>EA SPORTS FC 24<\/strong> is available on <strong>PlayStation 5<\/strong>,<strong> Xbox Series X<\/strong>, <strong>PlayStation 4<\/strong>, <strong>Xbox One<\/strong>, <strong>PC<\/strong>, <strong>Nintendo Switch<\/strong> <strong>and Steam<\/strong>.
