FC 25 EVOLUTIONS
FC 25 Evolutions is a feature that enables you to enhance the base versions of your players by completing a set of objectives.
A new Feature
Evolutions allow you to select a player, complete in-game objectives, and gain permanent upgrades. This feature enables you to build your squad around your favorite players. Choose players that meet the Evolutions criteria and complete a series of objectives to enhance their individual skills, PlayStyles, and overall ratings, ensuring they remain competitive throughout the year.
Additionally, you can upgrade their Player Items’ appearance with fresh designs and animated backgrounds, showcasing your homegrown Evolutions players and the milestones they’ve achieved for your Club to your opponents.
As you level up your players, you’ll also earn visual upgrades, reflecting all the effort you’ve invested. Once you evolve a player, that’s just the beginning. You can run the same player through multiple Evolutions throughout the year, so by the end, you’ll have unique versions of players that no one else has.
How Does It Work?
You can upgrade and evolve your players by assigning them to an Evolution slot and completing in-game challenges with them. Once these challenges are accomplished, the player receives permanent upgrades.
Keep in mind, not all players qualify for every Evolution; you need to review the requirements to determine eligible players. For instance, you might see objectives like “Evolve any Bronze Player” or “Evolve a striker with 2* weak foot.”
Some Evolutions will be available each season at no cost, while others will require coins or a combination of coins and points. Similar to balancing upgrades from SBCs, Objectives, and the Transfer Market, the goal is to ensure that the evolution paths in Ultimate Team remain fair and well-rounded.
Additional avenues will be introduced for players to enhance their squads over the course of the season. Certain Evolutions may have limited availability, requiring completion within specified timeframes or enrollment by particular deadlines.

Each Evolution comprises a set number of predetermined levels. To progress through each level, you must fulfill a specific set of in-game objectives. Upon completion, your player card will be upgraded. As the levels increase, the objectives become more challenging

After you’ve completed all the levels and your card has reached its maximum evolution, there will be no further objectives for you to complete.
