EA FC 24 has been out for almost two months, and the first eSports-related promo, FC Pro Live, is now available.
Unlike most promos in FC 24 Ultimate Team, which are carryovers from previous FIFA editions, FC Pro Live is a new concept. It ingeniously integrates the Ultimate Team mode with the dynamic world of FC 24 eSports. Each player card in this promo uniquely represents a professional eSports player participating in the FC Pro Open event, offering fans a more immersive and engaging experience.
FC Pro Live
The FC Pro Live promo in FC 24 offers a unique and interactive experience for Ultimate Team players. In this innovative event, player cards are linked to real-world professional players participating in the Pro Open tournament. The exciting part? The performance of these pro players directly influences the game: as they win matches and advance through the tournament, the overall ratings of their corresponding Ultimate Team cards get a boost.
This feature not only adds a dynamic aspect to gameplay but also holds the potential to draw more attention to the EA FC 24 eSports scene. Despite its ambitious launch, the FC Pro program hasn’t quite hit the mark of success EA hoped for. This promo could be a game-changer and invigorate the eSports community within the game.
Here is how the upgrades will work:
- Three Points will give the player item an IF Upgrade
- Six Points will give the player item a PlayStyle
- Ten Points will give the player item another IF Upgrade
- Qualify, and the player item gets another IF Upgrade and a PlayStyle+
- Win, and the player item gets a final IF Upgrade
