Understanding FC 25 Beta Codes
Code Restrictions

- Exclusive Access: Codes allow you to download the Closed Beta App, which is not publicly visible in stores. The app verifies your account to grant access to the selected game mode.
- Avoid Purchasing Codes: Do not buy codes from third parties, as they will not work.
Confidentiality Agreement
- NDA: Participants must agree to EA’s confidentiality terms, prohibiting any sharing of beta content (e.g., screenshots, reviews, clips).
- Watermark: A permanent watermark displaying your gamertag/account will be present during gameplay.
- Consequences: Violating the NDA can result in a permanent ban from all EA games.
Game Modes and Feedback
- The Games Modes: Each player will have access to one of the next FC 25 game modes: Ultimate Team, Clubs or Career Mode.
- Random Assignment: Game modes assigned are random and not based on your play history.
- Final Unlock: In previous years, all modes were unlocked a few days before the beta ended, pending EA’s announcement.

Important Reminders
- Non-final Ratings: Player ratings in the beta are not final.
- Old Build: The beta version may differ from the final game.
- No Progress Transfer: Beta progress (coins, players, etc.) will not carry over to the final game.
- Potential Server Issues: Expect possible server issues due to high traffic.
