Evolutions No Longer Feel as Exciting as FC26

I’ve noticed that Evolutions don’t feel nearly as engaging in FC27 as they did in FC26.

In FC26, Evolutions were one of the main reasons I wanted to log into the game every day. They gave Ultimate Team a different feeling and created excitement around developing players. Every player could have their own unique Evolution journey, and I genuinely enjoyed searching for players and planning which Evolutions to use on them.

However, in FC27, Evolutions feel much more limited. We are restricted by too many requirements, and there are far fewer opportunities to create players that actually fit our squads and playstyles.

It has now been a month since the game launched, and I haven’t evolved a single player because I simply haven’t found Evolutions that make me want to invest my time into them.

I understand that Evolutions need to be balanced with SBCs, rewards, and the Transfer Market. However, I think the current system has gone too far in the other direction.

I would really like EA to reconsider this and give players more freedom and more reasons to engage with Evolutions again. They were one of the features that made FC26 feel different, and I believe they could bring that same excitement back to FC27.

What do you think? Do Evolutions feel less exciting to you this year compared to FC26?

  • I agree that some of the restrictions are too much and the power curve on the upgrades has gone too much in the other direction. 

    I understand the need to not allow OP players be Evo'd to become more OP, but it can be difficult to even get lower players to an even playing field as others, as is the purpose of Evos. If a player is quick as a base card, that instantly disqualifies them for 95% of Evos (for example, I like to Evo Irish players, but haven't been able to use Ogbene due to his base 89 pace).

    I think another over-restrictive measure is the exclusion of positions in Evo eligibility. I've yet to be able to Evo Troy Parrott as, despite being a ST, he also has a CAM secondary position that disqualifies him from most ST Evos. I posted about my wish for a way to remove these secondary positions for the sake of Evo eligibility last night:
