Welcome to the EA SPORTS FC™ 25 Football Ultimate Team™ Pitch Notes, I’m Azlan Mustapha, Lead Producer, joined by Celina Chang, Producer on Football Ultimate Team™ Rush. We're excited to share details on the new features coming to EA SPORTS FC 25 Football Ultimate Team™.
Football Ultimate Team™ in EA SPORTS FC 25 will let you team up with friends in 5v5 Rush, unlock new levels of strategy in 11v11 with Player Roles and FC IQ, and introduces some long awaited community requested features.
We’ll see you on the pitch on September 27th for Worldwide Launch, but until then, let’s dive deep into what Football Ultimate Team is all about in EA SPORTS FC 25.
ULTIMATE TEAM RUSH
Bring your favourite player item from your Ultimate Team club, team up with friends, and hit the pitch in intense, locked-to-player 5v5 matches. Rewards earned in Ultimate Team Rush can be used to improve your own Ultimate Team roster in the 11v11 experience.
FC IQ IN ULTIMATE TEAM
FC IQ informs the Ultimate Team experience in a variety of key ways. Manager Items will feature the manager’s real-world tactical preferences, authentically influencing how your team plays on the pitch. Player Roles are also part of each player item and available from the very beginning of the Ultimate Team season.
NEW STADIUM & MATCH EXPERIENCE
The Ultimate Team match experience is fully refreshed thanks to newly designed stadiums and more engaging live broadcasting sequences. New presentation elements highlight lineup decisions and both teams’ unique players. Larger away sections allow you to bring more of the home stadium experience on the road.
COSMETIC EVOLUTIONS
The Player Item shell has always held the spotlight in Football Ultimate Team™, but now you can make it your own in unique ways. Upgrade Player Item shells with all-new cosmetic Evolutions: add more breakouts and modify embellishment components such as backgrounds, borders, and SFX.
RUSH
We're excited to introduce Rush to Football Ultimate Team™, a new way to play and win with friends. Select your favourite player to control and build your dream 5-a-side squad with up to three friends, then compete for rewards in 5v5 matches.
A New 5v5 Experience
Rush is a 5v5 experience, including AI-controlled goalkeepers, allowing you to either team up with up to three other friends or drop in as a solo player and get matched up with other players. Bring your favourite player to control and your teams’ choices will contribute towards earning Rush Points.
Events
When playing Rush, you’ll need to first select an event. Rush events in Football Ultimate Team™ are designed to offer players another layer of challenge in squad building by limiting the Player Items you can bring into the event. Each event can come with specific entry requirements and these requirements may restrict the eligible pool of players based on Rarity, Attributes, or countries/regions, leagues, and clubs. Different Rush events may provide faster progression towards completing your weekly Rush Objectives, but all events will contribute to the same set of weekly Rush Objectives.
Squad Building
Rush introduces a collaborative squad building experience in Football Ultimate Team™. You will need to work together with your team to pick players that perform on the pitch, and also complete block requirements to maximise Rush Points earned.
After finding teammates, you will enter the squad building phase. Players from your Club will be pre-filtered based on the event entry requirements for you to quickly choose from. If you’re not satisfied with the recommendations, you can still search for specific players from your Club during this phase.
You and your teammates will have 90 seconds to select the players you want to use in the match - remember, each of you will only be able to control the player you select. Duplicate players are not allowed on the same team, including other versions of players as well. Once each player has locked in their selection, or the timer expires, your team will begin matchmaking with opponents.
Earning Rush Points
Rush Points are the primary way you will complete Weekly Objectives and earn rewards in Rush. They can be earned both on the pitch, and in squad building by completing block requirements with your team.
The fastest way to earn Rush Points is to win matches with friends in your group - but there are many ways to earn Rush Points:
- Winning a match
- Playing a match
- Playing with friends
- Completing blocks
- Winning multiple Rush matches in a row
Blocks are optional challenges that your team can solve collectively, and within each Rush squad building phase your team can have up to 5 blocks to complete. Blocks offer ways to earn more Rush Points, and they may change from event to event.
Block requirements can target player Attributes, team composition, and more.
By successfully completing these blocks, your entire team will be rewarded with bonus Rush Points. Some blocks will provide flat points, multipliers, or conditional bonuses. As mentioned before, our goal here is for players to collaborate closely with their team, strategizing on team composition to meet these requirements.
