EA FC 24 will be released at the end of September, EA Sports has already introduced many new features for the FIFA 23 successor. One of them is "Evolutions". What exactly this means and how you can upgrade your players is explained in this article.

We all know it: You have fallen in love with a FIFA card, but before you know it, a new promo has been released and the card is outdated. This happens very quickly, especially with SBCs. You think to yourself: I should have saved my fodder... That could change now with Evolutions!

Evolutions In EA FC 24

The new Evolutions feature was introduced together with the first trailer of EA FC 24. Now we have more details about the upgrade system.

It was actually quite funny, because shortly before the trailer was released, we were talking in the office about how cool it would actually be if you could upgrade cards like in PES in the past.

And bang: EA Sports introduces Evolutions for EA FC 24. It's not the same system as in PES back then, of course, but it revitalises the FUT club.

How The Evolution Upgrades Work In EA FC 24

In the trailer, BVB youngster Moukoko was mentioned as an example who will start with a silver card in EA FC 24. By completing objectives, you can upgrade this card.

In the video, an 85 gold card of Moukoko was shown. We cannot yet say whether this is the last possible upgrade.

But we assume that you have to have played a certain number of games with the card. In addition, depending on the position, you will have to give assists or score goals to upgrade your player.

Besides the overall rating you can also upgrade the playstyles, which will play a really important role in EA FC 24.

EA FC 24: Evolutions Have Seasonal Upgrade Limitation

Now if you think you can upgrade a 47 bronze card to a 99 OVR in 17 days, you've got another thing coming and you've done the maths without EA Sports.

There will be a seasonal upgrade limit for your cards so your players don't get too good too fast.

You have to remember that Ultimate Team is EA Sports' main source of revenue. It would be pretty bad for the North Americans if you level up all the players and the promo cards become irrelevant. Then they wouldn't make no money anymore.

So you should assume that you can only upgrade your club legends by a few OVR points per season so that they don't become too op.

We have a fear that evolutions will always trail the power curve.... It will be a cool feature, but it won't turn the meta upside down.

One thing is certain: No Evolution player will make it into the Top 100.
