Update to the beta but I haven't found any new starheads added as of yet :/ 

If EA have the same UEFA licenses as FIFA 23, then there will be 12 clubs who qualify for Europe in career mode that don’t end up in the group stages. 

However in EA25, the UCL, UEL and UECL will all be expanding to 36 teams. There will need to be an additional 12 clubs in the group stages. 

There will be an additional 4 teams as France have been given an extra UCL spot, along with the new 2 best coefficient nations from the year before. Also because Russia have now dropped out of the nations given 2 spots, we then get one extra as well. That does mean that only 4 clubs who qualify for Europe in career mode in EA 25 would not end up in a group stage if current licenses stay as they are.

Therefore, EA really need to get a dozen or so new clubs. The top non-Russian clubs over the last 10 years are:

1. Olympiacos - 10 group stage qualifications 

2. Qarabag - 10 group stage qualifications

3. Ludogorets - 9 group stage qualifications 

4. Crvena Zvezda - 7 group stage qualifications

5. Partizan Belgrade - 6 group stage qualifications

6. Maccabi Tel Aviv - 6 group stage qualifications

7. Astana - 6 group stage qualifications

8. Slovan Bratislava - 5 group stage qualifications

9. Zorya Luhansk - 5 group stage qualifications

10. Dnipro - 4 group stage qualifications

11. Sheriff Tiraspol - 4 group stage qualifications

12. BATE Borisov - 4 group stage qualifications

13. Apollon Limassol - 4 group stage qualifications 

14. Hapoel Be’er Sheeva - 4 group stage qualifications

15. Maccabi Haifa - 3 group stage qualifications

I know not all of these will happen, but surely at least 5 or 6 of these need to be added to remove the likes of 4th placed Polish, Romanian and Irish clubs making it to group stages. 

We might be lucky and get them all over about 10 updates but I won't hold my breath. EA are shameless.

Have EA given up on trying to build hype for the game these days? This place is dead and the lack of content from EA is telling

Pretty much. There is no hype. The hype was post beta. Once the beta dropped everyone's hope and hype dropped with it. A partial La Liga scan and a couple of customs it's disgraceful from EA. Unless tons of scans are added post launch then I can see it being the worst game since the covid Fifa with just a partial Premiership scan. If this is as good as it's gonna get then the game is finished before it's even released.

@jtswfc93exactly. Whatever hype there was is now nonexistent. They couldn’t even show if Lille was scanned so any optimism for Udinese, St Pauli scans has gone out the window and the stadiums are virtually pointless without scans.

The thought of waiting for a title update in 2024 for Bundesliga players scanned in 2021 is mind numbing.

Who exactly did EA scan in the 22-23 season aside from La Liga and some Serie A teams (that won’t be coming until FC 25)? At present they couldn’t even scan Chelsea who was a virtual guarantee based on the last few FIFA’s.

For La liga the lack of updates to existing scans is also shocking. Griezmann, Martinez, Zubeldia, Valverde, Gimenez and on and on… 

No additional Lyon faces so Gusto and Lukeba are just randomly added 🤷‍♂️

Overall has to be the most half assed attempt ever.
