All major EA FC 26 Ultimate Team features
Most of the new additions inEA FC 26Ultimate Team are in the form of fresh game modes. However, existing modes like Champions and Division Rivals will also change. Let’s start with the new modes: Live Events (Tournaments, Gauntlets, and Linked Events).
Tournaments
Tournaments are back and better than before, where you get the thrill of knockout tournaments.
Gauntlet
Unlike tournaments, Gauntlets emphasize using different squads and cards. Losses don’t matter all that much since you’ll keep playing until you finish all the rounds.
The more wins you get, the better your rewards. One thing’s for sure, using different squads will really test club depth and skills.
Linked Events
Linked Events are special locked events that will be unlocked via objectives. This mode will help you qualify for unique events meant for ultimate competition. Some of the end-of-season events will be focused on community interaction.
Let’s look at all the changes being made to existing modes, including Rivals Bounties, Win Streak Bonuses, and Limited Checkpoints.
Rivals Bounties
Rivals’ matches will have an additional system called Bounties. It will allow you to take something back, even from a brutal loss, which will directly convert into weekly rewards. This will enable you to secure the required points faster.
Winstreak Bonuses
Rivals’ games will have the usual win streaks again, allowing you to climb two stages. However, you’ll also win double reward points when you secure a victory on a win streak. Your opponent will also know if you’re on an active streak.
Limited Checkpoints
Remember what frustration feels like when we lose a Rivals game right when we shouldn’t? Things will be slightly more relaxed inEA FC 26when you’re on Limited Checkpoints. You’ll be able to lose a few games without sliding down on the ladder.
EA FC 26 Ultimate Team Champions changes
The Champions mode is the pinnacle of competitive Ultimate Team, and things won’t be much different inEA FC 26. However, there are some key changes.
There are a few more important changes being made to Ultimate Team that I love.
