What are Player Evolutions?
Player Evolutions is a brand new way to upgrade your players in EA Sports FC Ultimate Team
With Player Evolutions you can choose a player that fits the Evolution Criteria and then upgrade them via in-game objectives to keep them competitive all throughout the year.
What type of upgrades will Player Evolutions give our cards?
With Evolutions we should be able to upgrade many aspects of a player in Ultimate Team such as:
- Boost in Overall Ratings
- Boost Face stats (Pace, Shooting, etc.)
- Boost Specific in-game stats (Sprint Speed, Reactions, etc.)
- Boost Skill Moves
- Boost Weak Foot
- Change Work Rates
- Add new PlayStyles
- Upgrade existing PlayStyles to PlayStyles+
- Add Alternate Positions
- Change Card Design
- Add Player Milestones on Card
The flexibility these many upgrades offer will allow us to truly make our own unique Ultimate Team this year.
Will Player Evolution cards have a different card design?
Not only will Player Evolution cards have a different and unique card design, for the first time ever we will be able to add customization to these cards.
With Player Evolution cards we can level up how the player item looks with new designs and animated backgrounds so you can flex on your opponents with your homegrown Evolutions players and the milestones they’ve achieved for your club
First confirmed Evolution designs
How many cards will I be able to use in Evolutions?
You will be able to evolve multiple cards across the year by using Evolution Slots.
Each season will have new Evolution Slots, with the first season, "Welcome to the Club" having 12 total slots.
You can use any cards that fit the "Evolution Criteria" in an Evolution slot and then upgrade them.
No Evolution Criteria have been released so far. Everything you see is a concept.
Example of Evolution Slots and Challenges
Will you need to spend coins on Player Evolutions?
Each season there will be Evolution cards that will be free to enter. These will only be restricted by their Evolution Criteria.
Throughout the year, there will be some Evolution Slots that can be accessed via Coins of FC Points. There is no confirmation as to what the cost will be or how they will differ from the "free" Evolutions.
Regardless of the cost(or lack of) Evolutions are designed keeping the live power curve in mind, so expect the final Evolution players to be in line with the best cards in the game, not better than them.
Can we use Promo Cards in Evolutions?
Yes, EA have confirmed that you will be able to use Promo cards in Evolution slots as long as they meet the evolution criteria.
There will be certain Evolution Slots that are Campaign Specific, for example we could see an Evolution Criteria that needs a Team of the Week player.
Centurions will be one of the early Promo Campaigns launched in EA Sports FC 24 which will involve Evolutions, as confirmed by EA.
Official Centurions Evolutions Design
Expect to see other Promo Cards being available for upgrade via Evolutions in the game cycle.
Where can you complete Evolutions Objectives?
Evolutions Objectives should be available for completion in the major game modes, Squad Battles, Division Rivals and Champs.
There will be some objectives that you may only be able to complete in specific game modes, so keep an eye on the objective screens.
Can you upgrade multiple Evolution players at the same time?
You can only upgrade ONE Evolutions card at a time in EA Sports FC 24.
You can lock in multiple cards in different Evolution Slots at a time but you can only complete the objectives for one card at a time.
For example, if you are upgrading a Silver card in Evolutions, you don't want to play Champs with them. In that case you can swap them out for another card in your main team and upgrade them.
Your progress for Evolutions is saved every time you switch your players up.
How to check which players fit the Evolution Criteria?
Evolution Criteria will be changing for each and every slot throughout the year, so how can we keep up with that?
Simple! Put the criteria into our expansive database of EA Sports FC 24 players and let it sort through the players that fit the criteria.
For example, take this sample Evolution Criteria:
- Weak Foot: Max 4-Star
- Pace: Max 81
- Shooting: Max 78
- Overall: Max 78
To check which players meet this criteria, we just go to the players page and enter the limits there:
You can now see all the players that meet this criteria:
With FUT.GG's Evolution tab you can check the potential Evolution paths a card can take.
One of my favourites from this set is Joe Willock. With the right upgrades he would be a BEAST.
You can check out his Evolutions page here.
There are similar Evolutions pages for EVERY player in the database, so go and check out your favourite players now 👀
Will we be able to use meta cards in Evolutions?
The criteria for Evolution cards will be changing throughout the year, and there will come a time where the meta cards will make the cut.
For example, if the criteria is:
- Weak Foot: Max 3-Star
- Pace: Max 84
- Shooting: Max 81
A player that fits this is an Ultimate Team legend, Christopher Nkunku.
Another player that I personally hope to see in my Evolutions Slot is Cristiano Ronaldo.
Playing in the Saudi Pro League and being 38 years old means he's finally been downgraded to an almost disrespectful extent, but there's still hope.
With his custom animations, 5-Star Skill Moves and the Powershot PlayStyles+, this card will be cracked with an upgrade or two.
Check out how he will look after his Evolutions here.
All in all, the potential for Evolutions in EA Sports FC 24 is MASSIVE and it could be the next biggest thing since SBCs in FIFA 17. If you have any questions. drop a comment below or tag us on our socials here and here.
