In EA SPORTS FC™ 24, we’ll be updating rewards in a number of modes including, Squad Battles, Rivals & Champions. 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.
Seasons will play a central role in Ultimate Team 24. As part of that shift, you’ll 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.
As announced back in the Ultimate Team Deep Dive Pitch Notes, we’re reducing Squad Battles halves to 4 minutes from 6 minutes. In addition we’re reducing the total number of matches that count towards your weekly rank from 40 to 32.
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 & online.
