EA Sports FC 25: EA removing contracts in Ultimate Team

Football fans around the globe are gearing up for the next installment in the EA Sports FC franchise which is only two months away. EA Sports FC normally releases at the tail end of September and the franchise seems to be continuing on that trend. EA Sports FC 25 will launch of September 27, but those who pre-order the game will have the chance to play it a full week early on September 20.

For those wondering what kind of changes we will be seeing in EA Sports FC 25, there are quite a few. However, one of the biggest changes in the franchise will be happening inside of the franchise's most popular game modes, Ultimate Team.

EA announced that contracts will no longer be a part of EA Sports FC Ultimate Team for the upcoming video game. Contracts are items that you must add onto players in order to play games with them. If you have a player with an expired contract, you must renew the contract or swap them out before you can continue on playing a game with them.

The player base saw contracts as more of a hassle than anything and thus EA has decided to remove this feature going forward in new installments.

The NHL franchise used to use the contract system in Hockey Ultimate Team before EA decided to pull the plug on those as well. It made the game mode more sluggish, and it really limited how quickly you can play games.

Contracts in EA Sports FC are not hard to acquire, but it is more tedious than anything. Fans will be excited to hear the announcement about contracts being removed in EA Sports FC 25.

There is no word on how EA will go about replacing these contracts, but I can guess that the removal of contracts will only bring more jersey and Ultimate Team customization items into the game.

The removal of contracts is only one of many changes coming to EA Sports 25 Ultimate Team this year. Duplicate storage and increase in Evolutions frequency will also headline some of the major changes seen in the game this year.
