EA FC 24 Evolutions explained: Available upgrades, requirements and challenges

Evolutions is a highly-anticipated new addition to EA FC 24 Ultimate Team, allowing fans greater control over their favourite players.

Previous editions of the franchise, formerly known as FIFA, have been dictated by targeted promos or real-life performances.

That means that gamers would need to rely on their idols being chosen by EA for an upgrade if they wanted to continue using them during the game cycle as the power curve changed.

In the past that has left fans who don’t support one of Europe’s elite clubs shortchanged when it comes to building their teams.

But now Evolutions allow players to level up specific stars from their squad by completing in-game challenges.

Unfortunately, not all cards are eligible for these dynamic upgrades -here, talkSPORT.com breaks down how it all works…

EA FC 24 Evolutions: How do they work?

Evolutions offer gamers the ability to upgrade their squad players’ base stats – any card that fits the requirements can be evolved.

This includes including all promo cards and Team of the Week cards that will be released during the FC 24 game cycle.

Individual attributes, such as shooting, are upgraded by completing objectives themed around that area – e.g. score x amount of goals in x amount of games with that player.

Evolved players can acquire new PlayStyles, including PlayStyles+, while they can also learn new positions and be transformed.

There is no limit on how many Evolution players are allowed in a squad but users can only activate one to upgrade at a time.

There will be a paid version of Evolutions, which costs 50,000 coins or 1,000 FC Points, for increased upgrades.

EA FC 24 Evolutions: Can Evolution players be sold?

No, there will be no shortcut to getting your favourite players upgraded as Evolved players can’t be bought or sold on the market.

Additionally, Evolution items are not eligible to be used for Squad Building Challenges for users hoping to grind their own fodder.
