FC Pro Live
Introduced in FC 24, the FC Pro Live promo bridged the gap between Ultimate Team and the esports arena. Each special card in this event was linked to a professional FC player participating in the FC Pro Open tournament. The performance of these esports athletes directly influenced the in-game attributes of the associated cards, leading to dynamic upgrades based on real-world results. This integration provided players with a unique experience, connecting their virtual squads to live esports events.
Thunderstruck
Debuting during the Black Friday period in FC 24, the Thunderstruck promo introduced dynamic cards that received upgrades based on their respective teams’ performances in upcoming domestic league matches. Both current players and ICONs were featured, with potential boosts contingent on real-world outcomes. For instance, securing a win in one of the next four matches could earn a card a +1 In-Form upgrade, while three wins might grant an additional PlayStyle. This promotion added an element of anticipation, as players monitored real-life fixtures to see how their in-game cards would evolve.
Winter Wildcard
The Winter Wildcard event in FC 24 celebrated the festive season by introducing special player items with unique boosts and attributes. These cards often featured unexpected position changes and significant stat enhancements, providing fresh options for squad building. The promotion also included themed objectives and squad-building challenges (SBCs), allowing players to earn exclusive rewards and engage with seasonal content.
Team of the Year (TOTY) Voting
A staple in the FC series, the TOTY Voting event in FC 24 allowed the community to participate in selecting the best performers from the past year. Players cast their votes for nominees across various positions, culminating in the release of highly coveted TOTY cards with substantial stat boosts. These items are among the most sought-after in the game, often featuring in special packs and limited-time SBCs.
While the absence of the FUTmas event marks a departure from tradition, the lineup of upcoming promotions promises to deliver engaging and dynamic content for FC 25 players. As always, staying tuned to official channels and community updates will be key to maximizing the benefits of these events.
