Two of the most exciting promos in FC 25 Ultimate Team are set to launch this Friday, and they could be arriving together. According to new leaks, EA Sports is preparing both FUTTIES and Greats of the Game to run simultaneously, offering a double drop of high-rated Icons, Heroes and fan-favorite players with top-tier upgrades.
This is the first time in recent years that FUTTIES could share the stage with another full promo, and based on early information, the content is expected to hit all areas of the game: packs, SBCs, objectives and the season pass.
What is FUTTIES in FC 25?
FUTTIES is EA’s long-running end-of-cycle promo designed to celebrate the best cards and players of the season. Each year, FUTTIES includes community-favorite items with boosted stats and flashy new designs, typically capped at 98 or 99 overall. The promo is also known for featuring:
- Repeatable upgrade SBCs
- Best-of cards returning to packs
- High-tier PlayStyle+ Evolutions
- Community-voted player picks
- Daily login rewards and SBC grinds
In FC 25, FUTTIES will also include a brand new set of FUTTIES Icons and possibly FUTTIES Heroes, bringing legendary players into the mix with pink and orange themed cards and maxed out stats. These are expected to feature five PlayStyle+ boosts, making them some of the most powerful players in the game.
The FUTTIES promo is rumored to run for four to five weeks and the first official content is expected to land on Friday, July 11.
Greats of the Game is a second promo featuring Icons and Heroes
Running alongside FUTTIES is a second, brand new promo called Greats of the Game. According to leaks from @ASYFutTrader, this side campaign will include Icons and Heroes only which means players who haven’t received any special items in FC 25 so far.
The rumored list of players expected in Greats of the Game includes:
- Rudi Völler
- Ji-Sung Park
- Tomas Brolin
- Fernando Morientes
- Tomáš Rosický
- Jean-Pierre Papin
These players were popular in previous titles but have been overlooked this cycle. The Greats of the Game promo is designed to give them upgraded items for the first time this year. It’s worth mentioning that these are only rumors and speculations so far.
While the final implementation hasn’t been confirmed, EA could release these cards through:
- Special SBCs
- Objective rewards
- The Season 7 Pass
- Packs alongside FUTTIES content
The Greats of the Game card design has also been revealed. It features a pink and orange theme similar to FUTTIES with white or blue elements to distinguish between Icons and Heroes.
Whether these will be live cards like in FC 24 is unknown. The current belief is that they will be static but very high rated, most likely 96 to 98 overall.
Will Icons and Heroes be split between FUTTIES and Greats of the Game?
That’s the big question. Based on the current information, it appears EA is dividing their icon and hero content between the two promos:
- FUTTIES Icons and possibly FUTTIES Heroes will be based on returning favorites with updated playstyles
- Greats of the Game will focus on Icons and Heroes who haven’t received any prior upgrade
There’s also speculation that FUTTIES Icons will be more pack-based or featured in elite level SBCs, while Greats of the Game could be part of seasonal objectives and player SBCs.
In terms of design, both cards share similar visuals, leading to early confusion in the community. But the separation in theme, FUTTIES focusing on best-of content and Greats of the Game focusing on missed legends, sets them apart in purpose.
Why this matters for FUT players
The double promo launch is huge for endgame content. FC 25 has lacked consistent upgrade paths for many Icon and Hero players and this event could fix that in a single weekend.
For players grinding menus, it means:
- More SBC options
- A broader selection of top-tier icons
- Better chance to hit rare cards in packs
- Opportunity to complete season pass rewards tied to historic names
The community is now watching closely to see which cards land in each promo and whether EA will expand FUTTIES beyond what we’ve seen in previous years.
Stay tuned for leaks and confirmations throughout the week. The first FUTTIES loading screen could drop as early as Wednesday and full promo content is expected on Friday at 6pm UK time.
