Another year, another season of FC Ultimate Team and Career Mode to pick up and play. This guide is intended as a compilation of the best tips and tricks for both new and returning players of EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Team and Career Mode.
Club Selection
When embarking on a player career, the right club choice will determine whether you can even play for a significant amount of time in matches or not. The general rule of thumb is to remain as close as possible to your own OVR when making a selection.
Activities
Do not ignore the Activities section. The personal improvements afforded from items and actions here will add up towards player development in the long run, whether it is social posting, buying a mattress, or starting an eSports team.
Juggling Skills
Often misjudged for only being of cosmetic and comedic value, Juggling Skills are actually useful especially in competition with other players, making it difficult for them to predict your next maneuver. There are 8 moves to perfect, however all are exclusively available to players with a 5 star skill rating.
PvP Best Time Slots
If competitive matches against other players is your thing, be advised that the weekends are your best bet for enjoyable games. This is because the largest pool of available players will be active online starting Friday night through Sunday. Even on those days, you should only begin playing by late Saturday evening, to avoid the most eager of hardcore players who will successfully rush through their grind earlier in the weekend.
Weekend League Times
The FC 24 Weekend League begins at 7 AM UTC on Friday, and ends at 7 AM UTC on Monday. These 72 hours are the only window of opportunity for players to participate in this limited event each week. Here too, timing matters, with the hardest opponents being online early in the weekend, and the weaker players still grinding away on Sunday night and Monday morning, in the hope of completing the required quota of matches played. This time slot is the most likely to have opposing players that throw games by quitting early.
Those are some tips and tricks for Ultimate Team and Career Mode in EA Sports FC 25.
