EA FC 25 Test of Time Evolution Is Actually Worth It

EA FC 25 Test of Time Evolution Is Actually Worth It, The new “Test of Time” Evolution in EA Sports FC 25 has arrived — and despite community skepticism, it might be one of the most underrated free Evolutions yet. Saturday’s 6 p.m. content drop brought a surprisingly quiet update from EA, leaving many players scratching their heads. No new live content, no new objectives, and no promo player SBC — but two Evolutions were quietly added: “Jack of All Trades” and the new “Test of Time”. Let’s dive into why the “Test of Time” Evolution may be a hidden gem for your Ultimate Team squad.

What is the “Test of Time” Evolution in FC 25?

“Test of Time” is a new Evolution path added on April 5th, allowing players to upgrade a right back into a much more well-rounded card with added attributes, key playstyles, and versatility. The main requirements for eligibility are:

• Overall max: 90
• Max pace: 93
• Playstyles: Max 9
• PlayStyle+ count: 2
• Must be a right back (but not a center-back)

The rewards for completing this Evolution include:

• +6 Pace, Dribbling, Defending
• +10 Passing
• +6 Physical
• +1 Skill Move, +1 Weak Foot
• New playstyles: Jockey, Intercept, Bruiser+, Wingback+, Fullback++

For just 10,000 coins, this Evolution gives your right back a serious facelift, especially in the defensive and physical departments. While some players might be disappointed by the limited attacking upgrades, “Test of Time” offers a true long-term utility boost — especially for meta defenders who lack elite stats.

Why FC 25 Players Are Split on This Evolution

Community reaction to “Test of Time” has been mixed. Many Ultimate Team fans were hoping for a more glamorous drop on a Saturday. Instead, EA delivered a quieter release with no new SBC players, cups, or milestone content— just this Evolution and “Jack of All Trades.” Content creator NepentheZ shared his thoughts on the update in his latest video, describing it as feeling like “something was supposed to come that didn’t.”

That said, the value proposition is clear: free upgrade, massive stat boosts, and important defensive PlayStyle+ additions. In a meta where midfield and wingback versatility is crucial, the opportunity to turn cards like Gwyn or Valverde into bruising right backs or hybrid center mids is enticing.

Especially with cards that already have strong foundations and two PlayStyle+ attributes — like Bajrami — “Test of Time” makes sense. Add to that the versatility of positioning (right back and center mid roles unlocked), and you’ve got one of the most flexible Evolutions we’ve seen recently.

Best Cards to Use in the Test of Time Evolution

Finding the right player is half the battle. Based on current stats and meta trends, these are some of the best players to plug into “Test of Time”:

• Federico Valverde: Already a midfield powerhouse, he becomes even more complete with added defending, physicality, and passing.
• Arda Güler: If he fits the positional requirements, his boost could make him a creative defensive asset.
• Bajrami: With solid stats and PlayStyle+ traits already, he gets a big defensive and physical upgrade — potentially unlocking elite hybrid potential.
• Gwyn: Receives key boosts across pace, defending, and passing, making her a reliable option down the flank.

While the Evolution may not dramatically change a top-tier card, it does breathe new life into solid gold or special cards that need that extra step to hit the meta.

What About “Jack of All Trades” and Pavol Nedvěd?

Alongside “Test of Time,” EA also dropped the “Jack of All Trades” free Evolution — which, while downvoted by the community, also gives a large stat upgrade with less focus on PlayStyle+. Ideal for players like 90-rated Bukayo Saka, this path adds 23 defending, 10 physical, and 3 pace without requiring a coin spend. However, the lack of impactful PlayStyle+ traits holds it back slightly in comparison.

EA also dropped a new Immortals Icon SBC for Pavel Nedvěd. The five-star skill and weak foot combo, alongside a wealth of PlayStyles like Power Shot+, Pinged Pass+, and Trivela+, makes him surprisingly well-rounded. But the community still met the SBC with a cold response — possibly due to player fatigue or a lack of incisive traits.

Is It Worth Doing?

Absolutely — especially if you’re low on coins or just looking to freshen up your defense without spending big. With “Test of Time,” you’re upgrading key defensive and transitional roles in your squad. It won’t revolutionize your game, but it will make a meaningful difference — particularly in tight Weekend League matches or high-level Division Rivals play.
