Suggestion for Integrating an Exercise App with Pro Clubs in FC25

Dear EA Sports Development Team,

I would like to propose an exciting addition to the upcoming version of FC25 in the Pro Clubs mode. The idea is to integrate an exercise app that connects with popular platforms like Strava, Garmin, Apple Health, and similar ones. This integration would incentivize players to engage in physical activities in real life while simultaneously allowing them to level up their characters in the game.

Suggestion Details

1. Integration with Exercise Apps:

•Compatibility: The app should be compatible with Strava, Garmin, Apple Health, Samsung Health, and other popular fitness platforms.

•Connection: Players can connect their exercise accounts with their FC25 Pro Clubs profile.

2. Incentives and Daily Goals:

•Activity Goals: Set daily, weekly, and monthly physical activity goals such as walking 10,000 steps, running 5 km, or completing a 30-minute workout session.

•Rewards: By completing these goals, players would earn experience points (XP) and skill improvements for their Pro Clubs characters. For instance, running a certain distance could improve the character’s stamina or speed.

3. Community Challenges:

•Group Challenges: Introduce community challenges where clubs can compete against each other in physical activity goals, such as accumulating kilometers run in a week.

•Leaderboards: Maintain a leaderboard to track which clubs are the most physically active and reward them with trophies, badges, or special in-game bonuses.

4. Additional Benefits:

•Health and Wellbeing: Promote healthy living habits among players, contributing to their physical and mental wellbeing.

•Player Engagement: Increase player engagement and retention by offering a richer and more multifaceted experience.

•Social Responsibility: Provide a community service by promoting health and exercise, enhancing EA Sports’ brand image.

Implementation

User Interface:

•Dashboard: A new dashboard within the Pro Clubs menu displaying the connection to exercise apps, daily goals, and available rewards.

•Notifications: In-game alerts and notifications to remind players of their activity goals and recent achievements.

Security and Privacy:

•Private Data: Ensure all personal and health data is handled securely and privately, complying with data privacy regulations.

I am convinced that this feature will not only add an exciting new dimension to the game but also encourage a healthy and active lifestyle among the player community. Thank you for considering my suggestion, and I hope to see this innovative integration in FC25.

Best regards,
