NEW FEATURES

 

FOOTBALL CENTRE

Our Anniversary Update introduces the Football Centre, which allows you to engage with real-world football more deeply through features like Team of the Week (TOTW), Player of the Month (POTM), and Moments Players. It also includes the opportunity to participate in featured matches that mirror current real-world football events.

 

PRE-RANKED PLAYER ITEMS

Pre-Ranked Players are back! This means that you can earn Player Items with Ranks and Levels already equipped, meaning you don’t need to use as many Training Levels or Rank-Ups on them. You can expect to see Pre-Ranked Player Items in Exchanges, Packs, and Milestone Rewards within Events.

 

CHANGE USERNAME

You’ve asked, and we’ve listened! With our Anniversary Update, we're excited to introduce the much-requested User Renaming feature. You’ll be able to change your username one time after the Anniversary Update goes live. Make sure to choose carefully, as for any additional name changes, it will only be available monthly within an offer in the Store.

  • Improved Usability in Player Inventory: The interface will now remain on the recently selected player in Player Inventory instead of defaulting back to the first player, enhancing navigation and efficiency.
  • Filtering Capability Added: We’ve added more filter conditions in the TRAINING, EXCHANGE, and TRANSFER MARKET to help you easily spot which players are tradable and which aren’t.. Now, managing your lineup and making smart moves is faster than ever!

BUG FIXES

  • Player Inventory Navigation: The interface will now remain on the recently selected player in Player Inventory instead of defaulting back to the first player, enhancing navigation and efficiency.
  • ​​Campaign Chapter Navigation: We fixed an issue where you would be brought to the first chapter of an event when moving between event chapters. Now you can move between campaign chapters without being redirected to the first chapter, for smoother progression.
  • Enhanced Stability: We’ve tackled some pesky bugs that were interrupting your gameplay on Android and Apple devices. Thanks to your reports, we've improved stability to ensure your experience is better than ever.

    EA SPORTS FC MOBILE - FOOTBALL CENTRE

    Welcome to the EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile Football Centre! A new Season-long Program that will be your new hub for fresh and exciting content that ties in with real-world football matches! From Key Matches, Showdown Exchanges, Team of the Week, Player of the Month and more, there is plenty to explore.

    Let’s dive right in.

    WHAT'S NEW

    The What’s New Chapter is the spotlight for special moments in world football. Standout moments in football will be highlighted and celebrated with claimable Player Items for special occasions. Think Moments Players, End-of-an-Era Players, and more.

    This will also be your hub that showcases new Showdown Exchanges, Key Matches and TOTW Players. Don’t miss out on any new content and be sure to check out What’s New frequently!

    KEY MATCHES

    Rivalries, derbies, and epic showdowns. From playing Key Matches to completing Showdown Exchanges, experience the thrill of real-world football in Key Matches. 

     

    Key Matches

    Play real-world football matchups with Key Matches, mimicking epic derbies and rivalries where you play as the real-world teams. Complete Key Matches to earn Football Centre Points, which are used in the TOTW Chapter to claim TOTW Player Items.

     

    Showdown Exchanges

    Choose your side for upcoming matches and see your choices receive OVR upgrades. Complete the Exchange to claim Player Items that receive OVR upgrades depending on the results of real-world football matches. 

    See below how the OVR Upgrades are determined:

    • Players from the winning team will receive a +2 OVR upgrade.
    • Players from both teams will receive a +1 OVR upgrade in a draw.
    • Players from the losing team will not receive an OVR upgrade.

    TOTW

    Team of the Week

    Standout performers from the week past take centre stage in Team of the Week! Challenge the current TOTW squad using your main lineup to earn Football Centre Points! Get their Player Items in the TOTW Gallery using your Football Centre Points that are earned by completing Key Matches and TOTW Challenges.

    Each TOTW Player Item could receive OVR Upgrades. For example, if a Player gets selected in the first week and again in the 5th week then he may receive an OVR Upgrade, a new Action shot, and updated artwork.

    Every Player will only receive one TOTW Item throughout the Season. That means that if you have already claimed a Player, you cannot claim him again from the Gallery and his claim node will be replaced with a generic, non-TOTW Player, Reward.

     

    POTM

    Player of the Month returns to FC Mobile! Celebrate Players from top-tier Leagues that stood out throughout the month. Complete POTM Exchanges to get a POTM Player!

    POTM Players are chosen from the following Leagues:

    • Premier League
    • LALIGA EA SPORTS
    • Bundesliga
    • Serie A Enilive
    • Ligue 1 McDonald’s

    That concludes the Football Centre Deep Dive. We hope that you’ll fully enjoy this new feature in EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile. Follow our social media channels for the latest news & updates!
