EA Outlines FC 27 Ultimate Team Tuning: More Rewarding Evolutions and Wider Access to Campaign Players

EA's Ultimate Team developers have shared their November plans for EA SPORTS FC 27, outlining how they intend to make the mode's squad-building paths more rewarding in the weeks ahead.

Evolutions

Evolutions are a central focus. The team says it wants every route to building a squad — the Transfer Market, SBCs and Evolutions — to feel like a compelling way to develop a starting eleven. After finding Evolutions in FC 26 became a hugely popular way to build personalised players, FC 27 aimed for a better balance between those paths. Now, looking at player data and community feedback, the team sees room to fine-tune Evolutions so they feel more rewarding, with new Evolutions arriving through the season and adjustments tested along the way.

Campaign Player Items

Access to sought-after Campaign Player Items is also being widened. Starting with UEFA Road to the Knockouts and continuing through upcoming Campaigns, EA is adjusting how select items are made available so more players can pursue them, while keeping Campaign content feeling special. The team says meaningful upgrades should still feel like a milestone, but that some items can be more accessible at release.

Streamlined SBCs

The notes also address Streamlined SBCs, the simplified format introduced in FC 27 with fewer individual Challenges and faster player submission. Players have asked about the removal of individual Challenge reward packs, which are no longer part of the Streamlined format. EA says their value is factored in when setting SBC Item Score requirements, alongside the estimated Transfer Market value of the reward, whether content is tradeable, and the cost of the items needed. The team says it has no current plans to bring the individual Challenge rewards back, but will keep listening to feedback on SBC pricing.

Duplicate Items and Champions Rewards

The team is also looking at packs and Player Picks that hand out both the Holographic and standard versions of the same Player Item, and is exploring changes to give itself more flexibility over when the two versions can appear together.

On Champions, EA says the extra FUT Coins earned per match in FC 27 help rewards build up across a weekend run, though it recognises that may not feel as immediately noticeable as the end-of-competition rewards. It is also studying how players use the new Champions Token system and which Token Store rewards they choose.

The FUT development team will host a live Discord Q&A on November 13 at 9:00 AM PT, where players can submit questions in the dedicated FUT Q&A channel.
