FUT Gets Major Changes
The biggest part of the EA Sports FC 27 launch update focuses on Football Ultimate Team.
EA is increasing the number of tradeable rewards available from Objectives, game modes, and other FUT activities. This gives players more ways to sell unwanted rewards, buy players from the Transfer Market, spend Coins on Evolutions, or save their currency for future transfers.
Champions Tokens are also returning. Players will be able to exchange them in the Champions Token Store for rewards such as Champions Team of the Week players, Red Item designs, Evolutions, celebrations, and other cosmetic items.
Another new feature will allow the FC community to help select a player for each of the first 6 Team of the Week squads during Season 1. EA says voting will take place through its official system, with the selected players receiving a Community Player marker in-game.
