FC 25 Beta Ultimate Team
“Ultimate Team” is a popular mode within the EA Sports FIFA series, which is now known as EA Sports FC.
The mode allows players to build their dream teams using player cards, compete in matches, and participate in various challenges.
Players who were in the Elite division in FC 24 will start in Division 7 in FC 25, providing a more rewarding experience for returning players. The FC 25 beta introduces several exciting new features to this mode:
5V5 Rush
5v5 Rush enhances social play by allowing players to team up with friends and compete against others.
Players can create teams of five, including an AI goalkeeper, by choosing players from their club based on the Rush event they choose.
Moreover, there will be Weekly Rush objectives where players can earn rewards by collecting Rush points in every game.
Additionally, players can build their ultimate 5-a-side teams, allowing for more compact and intense matches.
The 5-a-side matches will be more engaging to play with friends and simultaneously compete in an arena that is a bit more personal.
With the new format of the game, players will be in a position to take more charge of their tactics than in the previous games.
This allows a player to ultimately appoint roles to players in their teams for a more personalized strategy.
However, contracts for players and managers have been removed, simplifying gameplay and eliminating the need for contract management.
Significantly, there’s a new storage system that allows players to hold up to 100 untradeable items.
This makes it easier to manage inventories and complete Squad Building Challenges (SBCs).
Player Roles And FC IQ
The Player Roles and FC IQ provide deeper strategic options for players where they can assign specific roles to their players.
Such as Playmaker, Box-to-Box, Half-Winger, Holding, and Deep-Lying Playmaker, each with its focus (Balanced, Attack, Defend).
The FC IQ feature enhances tactical control by providing insights into player positioning and decision-making.
Player familiarity with roles is also introduced, with Base, Role+, and Role++ levels, allowing for more customization and strategic depth.
Further, players can evolve their favorite items more flexibly, adding backgrounds, borders, and animations.
In contrast, the FC 25 beta showcases new stadiums and match environments, contributing to a more immersive Ultimate Team experience.
