As anticipation builds for Euro 2024, EA Sports has some exciting news for fans of their popular game, EAFC24.
EA has already given us a sneak peek into what’s coming, starting with the “Path to Glory” countdown challenge this Friday. But there’s even more in store as the new season kicks off on June 6th. Let’s dive into the details.
Festival of Football Begins
EA’s official Twitter account announced the “Festival of Football,” which will commence alongside the UEFA Euro 2024 event. This promotion is set to begin on June 6th and features a variety of content, including new kits representing the participating nations. This adds a touch of authenticity and excitement, as players can see their favorite teams’ official kits in the game.
Season Transition and Maintenance
With the current season wrapping up, EA is preparing for a smooth transition by scheduling maintenance. This is typical before a new season launch, ensuring everything runs seamlessly. Fans can look forward to fresh content and challenges as soon as the maintenance concludes.
Euro 2024 Brings New Content and Upgrades
One of the most exciting aspects of this promotion is the introduction of live and upgrading cards, including Path to Glory items that will upgrade based on the performance of players and their nations in the Euros and Copa America. Icons and heroes are also part of this update, with the potential for multiple upgrades. The upgrade criteria are straightforward: a player’s nation needs to score two goals for the first upgrade and four goals for the second. These upgrades will add new dynamics to the game, making it more engaging.
Potential Four Play Style Plus Cards
In a groundbreaking move, EA might introduce cards with up to four Play Style Plus abilities, a first for EAFC24. This is a significant shift from the previously capped three Play Style Plus abilities. This potential upgrade path indicates that players can expect even more powerful and versatile cards as the season progresses.
Icon and Hero Leaks
Several icons and heroes are set to make their debut in this promotion. Leaked names include Brazilian legend Rivaldo, Italian hero Antonio Di Natale, and French icon Emmanuel Petit. These players will have special cards that can upgrade based on their national team’s performance in the tournaments.
Upcoming Promotions and Card Designs
The Euros-themed content will feature several promotional card designs, such as the Euro Path to Glory, Team of the Tournament, and Festival of Football Academy cards. These designs are tailored to celebrate the tournament and offer unique aesthetics and attributes.
Collectible Cards and Rewards
Similar to the World Cup promotion in FIFA 23, there might be collectible cards that players can gather throughout the Euro 2024 event. These cards could offer various rewards, including packs and coin boosts, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
Market Impact and SBCs
With the influx of new content, the market dynamics are expected to shift. Ultimate TOTS (Team of the Season) guaranteed SBCs (Squad Building Challenges) are anticipated to drop, which could affect player prices and market trends. Players are advised to stay vigilant and make strategic decisions regarding buying and selling cards.
Euro 2024 in EAFC24 promises to be an exhilarating event with a plethora of new content, upgrades, and challenges. As EA continues to reveal more details, fans can expect an immersive and dynamic gaming experience that aligns with the excitement of the actual tournament. Stay tuned for more updates, and prepare your squads for a festival of football like no other before the release of EAFC25.
