FC MOBILE RANKED DIVISION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT

Community Feedback & Competitive System Enhancement

To: EA SPORTS FC Mobile Development Team

Hello EA FC Mobile Team,

I would like to share a structured proposal to improve the Ranked Division system in FC Mobile. This suggestion is aimed at enhancing competitive integrity, increasing player motivation, and creating a more meaningful long-term progression system.

1. Division Reset System

Proposed Change:

  • Division resets occur every 2 months instead of monthly.

Reset Distribution:

  • Expert V – FC Champions Prime → Legendary V
  • FC Champions Centurion → Expert V

Reasoning:

  • A longer season cycle increases the value of progression.
  • Reduces burnout from frequent resets.
  • Encourages players to commit to long-term goals.

2. Star System Expansion

To make progression more engaging, the maximum number of stars per division is increased and added a new upper secondary division:

  • Amateur III – Semi Pro I: ★★★
  • Pro IV(-1 Subdivision) – Pro V : ★★★★
  • World Class IV(-1 Subdivision) - World Class I
  • Legendary V – Legendary I: ★★★★★
  • Expert V - Expert I(New Division): ★★★★★

Purpose:

  • Creates a more meaningful progression curve.
  • Rewards consistency rather than short win streaks.

3. FC Champions Division Rework (Points System)

Upon reaching FC Champions, the ranking system transitions from stars to a Points-Based System.

New FC Champions Structure:

  • FC Champions: 0–19 Points
  • FC Champions Elite: 20–49 Points
  • FC Champions Prime: 50–99 Points
  • FC Champions Centurion: 100+ Points

Design Goal:

  • Introduce a more skill-based progression system for high-level players.

4. Match Points System (FC Champions Only)

Points are awarded or deducted based on match results:

  • Win: +3 Points
    • Win by 3+ goals: additional +2 points
  • Draw: +1 Point
    • 0–0 draw: no points awarded
  • Loss: −1 Point
    • Loss by 3+ goals: additional −2 points

Purpose:

  • Encourage attacking gameplay.
  • Reward dominant performances.
  • Discourage overly defensive playstyles.

5. Playoff Promotion System

Promotion within FC Champions divisions requires completing a Playoff Phase.

Rules:

  • Players receive 5 matches.
  • Must win at least 3 matches to be promoted.
  • Failure results in remaining in the current division.

Penalty for Failure:

  • If a player fails the Playoff, they will lose 10 Points.

Additional Rule:

  • Protection Points do not apply during Playoffs.

Scope:

  • Playoff system applies only to FC Champions divisions.

Purpose:

  • Prevent rank inflation.
  • Ensure promotions reflect consistency and skill.
  • Increase the value and prestige of higher ranks.

6. Protection Points

  • Protection Points remain active across all divisions,
    except during the Playoff phase.

Reasoning:

  • Maintains fairness for mobile players affected by connection issues.
  • Prevents excessive frustration outside high-stakes matches.

Expected Benefits

  • Stronger competitive integrity at high ranks
  • More meaningful and rewarding progression system
  • Increased player engagement across seasons
  • Balanced experience between casual and competitive players
  • Higher prestige for top-tier ranks (FC Champions divisions)

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope this proposal can contribute positively to the future development of FC Mobile.

Sincerely,
FC Mobile player

    Thanks for posting this feedback/suggestion. I do need to ask that you do not post GPT/A.I. content here.

    Sorry about that, but this idea is completely in my mind. I use it to organize and explain it to make it neater and clearer
