EA’s Big Changes to Ultimate Team: A Popular Formation and Three Positions Binned
EA’s annual footballing extravaganza, Ultimate Team, is getting a major shake-up ahead of its September release. As part of the EA FC 25 revamp, one popular formation and three positions are being axed, leaving fans both excited and upset.
The 4-3-2-1 formation, which featured two centre forwards playing behind a central striker, is the biggest casualty. This formation has been a fan favourite, but it’s been deemed surplus to requirements in the new EA FC. According to FIFAUltimateTeam, fans were critical of the system in EA FC 24, as it provided an unfair advantage in competitive Champions mode.
But it’s not just the formation that’s being ditched. The left wing-back and right wing-back positions are also being removed, replaced by player roles. This change aims to streamline the gameplay experience and make it more intuitive. Wing-backs will now be assigned as player roles, allowing for greater flexibility on the pitch.
So, what does this mean for fans? Well, it’s likely to take some getting used to. The loss of the 4-3-2-1 formation will be particularly felt by fans who rely on it for success in Ultimate Team. However, the changes are intended to improve the overall experience and provide more opportunities for creative play.
One potential benefit of the changes is the introduction of new systems and strategies. The Rush game mode, which sees two 5v5 teams do battle, could provide a fresh challenge for fans. The updated formation charts and player roles will also offer new ways to express themselves on the pitch.
Ultimately, only time will tell how these changes will affect the Ultimate Team experience. One thing’s for sure, though – fans will need to adapt quickly to succeed in the new EA FC 25.
