The FC Pro promo in FC 25 Ultimate Team has introduced a unique way to upgrade cards, tying their progress to the performance of professional esports players in the FC Pro tournament. This innovative system blends traditional FIFA gameplay with the competitive esports scene, creating an engaging experience for fans. Here’s a breakdown of how these upgrades work and what you can expect from this exciting promo.
What is the FC Pro promo?
The FC Pro promo is unlike traditional upgrade promos in Ultimate Team. Instead of upgrades based on a player’s real-life performance or team success, FC Pro cards upgrade based on the performance of an FC Pro esports player representing the card in tournaments.
Each FC Pro card is associated with a specific esports player competing in the FC Pro Live tournament. As the esports player progresses through the competition, the corresponding FC Pro card receives upgrades. This new system connects Ultimate Team fans with the esports community, giving players a reason to follow the tournament closely.
How do FC Pro cards upgrade?
The upgrade path for FC Pro cards depends entirely on the esports player’s performance in the FC Pro tournament. Here’s a detailed look at the upgrade structure:
- 3 Points in the Group Stage: +1 overall rating upgrade.
- 6 Points in the Group Stage: Additional skill move or weak foot upgrade.
- 10 Points in the Group Stage: +1 overall rating upgrade, alternate position unlocked.
- 16 Points in the Group Stage: +1 overall rating upgrade (total +2 overall from the group stage).
- Knockout Qualification: +1 overall rating upgrade.
- Tournament Victory: +1 overall rating upgrade, skill move/weak foot upgrade, and a playstyle boost.
For example, Nathan Aké’s FC Pro card starts at an 88 overall. If “Tekkz,” representing Manchester City Esports, wins the tournament, Aké’s card could reach a 92 overall with additional boosts.
