Most of the leaked Icon & player ratings for FC 25 icons have matched the official ones this year . If you haven’t checked these ratings, visit the FC 25 website or FUTBIN to see the ratings and cards. The past week has been slow for FC 25 news except for the icon reveals. However, we expect more information soon. Based on EA’s patterns from previous years, we expect a database revealing all the FC 25 cards to release on a Monday. EA typically avoids releasing this type of information over the weekend and sticks to weekday releases.
We anticipate this database will confirm the previously leaked ratings. The focus will be on playstyle pluses, skill move upgrades, and the new FCI IQ system, with role pluses and role plus-pluses listed. These additions are crucial for how the cards will perform in the game.
Database Release Process
The full database won’t be released all at once. Historically, EA gradually releases a few cards each day, typically starting with the top 100 cards and continuing throughout the week. By the end of the week, the full database with thousands of cards should be available for viewing.
Web App and Team of the Week
The web app and Team of the Week 1 are expected to launch on Wednesday, September 18th. This date isn’t officially confirmed, but past patterns suggest that this is when players can start managing their Ultimate Teams. The web app allows players to open packs, manage clubs, and start early market activities.
Team of the Week 1 usually coincides with the web app launch, offering something for players to chase in packs. It’s important to note that pre-order bonuses, including FC points, won’t be available during the web app period but will arrive with the game’s full release. For players transitioning between platforms (e.g., console to PC), web app access might not carry over. It’s recommended to play a few games on the previous version to ensure access for the new FC 25 web app.
As for the FC 24 web app, it’s expected to go offline soon to prepare for FC 25 updates. EA typically shuts down the current web app a few days before the launch of the new one.
Ultimate Edition Release
The Ultimate Edition of FC 25 releases on Friday, September 20th. Players who pre-ordered the game will get access at midnight in their respective time zones. Xbox players can set their console location to New Zealand to access the game earlier.
Pre-order Rewards and Promo Content
EA will likely release pre-order rewards, such as the 4600 FC points, on September 20th. The details of the Early Access promo remain unclear, but players well-received last year’s Nike promo for its card designs and objectives. EA has not officially announced what this year’s promo will include.
Summary of Key Dates
The essential dates to mark on the calendar are:
- September 18th: Web App and Team of the Week 1
- September 20th: Ultimate Edition release
- September 27th: Full game release
This week will bring more news, including pitch notes, web app updates, and player rating confirmations. The excitement for FC 25 is building, and these early dates will be crucial for getting a head start.
