As we dive deeper into the summer season of FC24, many players are engrossed in the intense grind of footies, with its unlimited 84×10 upgrades, 99-rated icons, and endless player picks. But while this content is undeniably exciting, it’s essential to start looking ahead to the next big event: the Preseason Promo, which not only rewards you in FC24 but also gives you a head start in FC25. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for this upcoming promo.
What is the Preseason Promo?
The Preseason Promo is a recurring event designed to bridge the gap between the current and upcoming game cycles. In this case, it allows players to earn rewards in FC24 that carry over into FC25. The promo typically includes various SBCs, objectives, and re-released cards, providing an excellent opportunity to stockpile rewards for the next game.
Highlights from Last Year’s Preseason
Last year’s Preseason Promo spanned three weeks and featured re-released cards, exciting SBCs, and objectives that rewarded players with packs and items redeemable in FC25. Some of the standout rewards included an 82×10 pack, 83×5 pack, and even rare gold players’ packs. These rewards, while seemingly modest, can significantly impact the early stages of FC25, especially if earned early in the game cycle.
What to Expect in This Year’s Preseason Promo
- Carryover Rewards: Just like in previous years, expect to see packs and player items that can be claimed in FC25. These will likely be less powerful than the current footies rewards but are crucial for building an early advantage in FC25.
- Re-released Cards: EA has a history of re-releasing some of the best cards from the past year during the Preseason Promo. This year, expect to see footies cards, icons, and heroes making a return in packs.
- Transfer SBCs: Last year saw the release of high-profile transfer SBCs, such as the 99-rated Jude Bellingham. This year, all eyes are on a potential 99-rated Mbappe, especially following his rumored move to Real Madrid. These SBCs usually drop in early September, so be on the lookout.
- End of an Era Content: Players who have retired or moved on from long-term clubs might receive special SBCs, adding more exciting cards to the game. This is less frequent but still a possibility, especially in the latter stages of FC24.
How to Prepare
- Maximize Your Grind: This week’s grind, with the unlimited 84×10 packs and repeatable icon picks, is one of the most efficient ways to bolster your squad. Make sure to take full advantage before the content resets.
- Stockpile Resources: As SBCs are a significant part of the Preseason Promo, ensure you have plenty of fodder, including Team of the Season cards, which are likely to rise in value.
- Monitor the Market: Keep an eye on the prices of valuable cards, particularly TOTS cards, as they might drop with the current grind and rise again with the Preseason Promo’s demand.
- Plan for FC25: Think strategically about which Preseason rewards will benefit you most in the early days of FC25. Focus on objectives and SBCs that offer packs and player items that can give you an edge in the new game.
- Stay Updated: As always, EA is expected to release more details about the promo and FC25. Stay tuned to official announcements to ensure you don’t miss out on any critical information or rewards.
The Preseason Promo is an exciting event that not only wraps up FC24 on a high note but also sets the stage for FC25. By preparing now, you can maximize your rewards and start the next game cycle with a significant advantage.
