EA SPORTS FC 25 | Training Camp Evolutions
Today in Football Ultimate Team we’ll be introducing Training Camp Evolutions, a passive way to upgrade your Football Ultimate Team Player Items through the Web and Mobile Companions. Training Camp Evolutions will appear alongside other Evolutions, but they function a little differently and do not count towards the active Evolutions limit. When you submit an eligible Player Item for a Training Camp Evolution, that Player Item will be unavailable to use in gameplay for a set period of time until it’s upgraded, but it can still be viewed in your Club. When that set amount of time passes, your Evolution will have the corresponding upgrades applied once you claim it, and it can be used in gameplay once again. Some Training Camp Evolutions may even let you do further upgrades over time, enabling you to claim multiple levels of upgrades for the submitted Player Item. You’ll also be able to cancel an active Training Camp Evolution if you change your mind about it, but note that this will result in your Player Item not getting any unearned upgrades, and the Evolution you had previously put a Player Item into will no longer be available. Once a Training Camp Evolution is active and until it is complete, it can only be cancelled and there is no way to temporarily pause it. Training Camp Evolutions are intended to be a bite-sized FC experience you can interact with when you’re not actively playing FC 25 and are only available to get on Web and Mobile Companions. However, you are able to view your active Training Camp Evolution details and claim completed levels in-game on console/PC as well. You will also be able to view available Training Camp Evolutions in-game on console/PC prior to submitting an item on the Companion App. Collecting your upgraded Player Item can be done both in-game and through the Companions, but note that claiming a completed level for your Player Item will automatically start the next level of the Evolution, if it is available. Training Camp Evolutions will be introduced during Fantasy FC, with smaller upgrades intended to help familiarise yourself with this new system. Frequently Asked Questions How can I activate a Training Camp Evolution? Training Camp Evolutions can only be activated on the Web and Mobile Companions within the Evolutions section. Please note you are required to log out of your Football Ultimate Team on Console/PC before you are able to view your Football Ultimate Team on the Mobile or Web Companion App. Do Training Camp Evolutions count towards my active Evo limit? No, Training Camp Evolutions do not count towards your active Evo limit. For example, you are able to have two active in-progress Evolutions at the same time as a Training Camp Evolution. Training Camp Evolutions have their own separate limit which is currently set at one. How long do Training Camp Evolutions take to complete? Training Camp Evolutions can be as short as a few hours to longer than 30 days. The level of rewards received will generally align with the amount of time required to complete the Training Camp Evolution, so longer Evos may require more substantial time to earn. Can I use my Training Camp Evolution in-game while it is in progress? No. You will be unable to use an item that is in an active Training Camp Evolution in-game until the time specified on the Evolution has passed. If you try to enter a match with a Player Item that is currently in an active Training Camp Evolution, you will receive a message prompting you to remove the Item from your Squad before you begin matchmaking. You are able to cancel the Training Camp Evolution to return your Player Item’s in-game eligibility, however, you will not be able to receive any unearned upgrades and will not be able to restart the same Training Camp Evolution slot with another Player Item. Are Training Camp Evolutions free? Similar to standard Evolutions, Training Camp Evolutions may be offered with or without in-game currency requirements. Cancelled Training Camp Evolutions will not give players the rewards from the remaining levels, and players will not receive any FC Points or Coins used on the Evolution. Can I start a Training Camp Evolution with an in-progress, standard Evolution? No, you will not be able to use in-progress Evolutions to start a Training Camp Evolution. However, you can put Items created through a standard Evolution into a Training Camp Evolution if it meets all requirements. Thanks for checking out our Training Camp Evolutions Pitch Notes! We look forward to hearing your feedback on them. – The EA SPORTS FC TeamFootball Ultimate Team™ 25 - FANTASY FC
