Another idea to make this World Cup Live promo even better:
EA could release three World Cup Live cards for each qualified national team:
- one defender
- one midfielder
- one attacker
This would make the promo more balanced and more interesting for squad building, because every country would have players from different parts of the pitch, not only attackers.
Another option could be to choose the captain or the biggest star of each national team, but I think the defender/midfielder/attacker version would give Ultimate Team players more choice.
Each card could upgrade based on the progress of its national team during the World Cup, similar to live European competition cards.
The upgrades could also depend on the player position:
- attackers could receive shooting, pace, skill move or weak foot upgrades
- midfielders could receive passing, dribbling, role or PlayStyle upgrades
- defenders could receive defending, physical or defensive PlayStyle upgrades
- goalkeepers could receive reactions, diving or handling upgrades
This would make every card feel different and more connected to the player’s role on the pitch.
It would also make every World Cup match more exciting for Ultimate Team players, because people would follow national teams not only as football fans, but also because their live cards could upgrade during the tournament.
