New ways to progress and compete, more customization on and off the pitch,
and the return of football's most memorable players.
Welcome to Inside FIFA Ultimate Team™.
I'm Aaron McHardy, Executive Producer on FIFA.
And I'm Azlan Mustapha, Producer on FUT.
And Azlan and I are here to tell you a little bit about
the new season of FUT in FIFA 22.
So, this year we re-worked Division Rivals and FUT Champions,
and we wanted to give you more flexibility,
so that you can compete when you choose.
We've got more ways for you to enjoy
showing off your unique style on and off the pitch,
and we welcomed back some of football's most beloved players
with the all-new FUT Heroes.
Building your squad and competing on the pitch are at the heart of FIFA Ultimate Team™.
And in FIFA 22, we've completely changed the competitive landscape.
Division Rivals has an all-new seasonal progression system,
with win streaks, ranks, and a new Elite Division
for the best players in the world.
How you climb the ladder has completely changed.
Divisions are now made up of stages and ranks.
A win will advance you one stage,
and if you're on a win streak you'll progress even faster.
Losses will move you back a stage, unless you're on a checkpoint,
which safeguards your progress and keeps you at the right level of competition
for your skill level.
And seasons are a new addition as well.
Divisions are reset at the end of each season,
and where you finish will determine where you start in the next season.
Rewards are a massive part of Division Rivals,
and the opportunity to earn rewards every week.
In addition, you'll also earn rewards at the end of the season as well.
Winning matches each week will increase your rank within a division,
and qualify you to earn better weekly rewards.
Every match you play will count towards your seasonal milestones.
You'll get end-of-season rewards based on the number of matches you played,
regardless of whether you win or lose.
The Elite Division goes beyond Division 1
and gives the game's more skilled players
a unique space to compete in.
And in the Elite Division the one who ranks in the stage is leader.
You'll play purely for skill rating and a position on the global leaderboard.
And you'll earn rewards by competing at the top level,
ultimately with the potential to qualify to the FIFA Global Series as well.
FUT Champions is now a two-tier competition
that works around your schedule.
Start off with the FUT Champions Play-offs during the week
with a chance to qualify for the FUT Champions finals.
When you're ready,
take part in finals during the weekend.
It's a points-based system with some of the best rewards on offer in FUT.
As we know, FIFA Ultimate Team™ isn't just about the game's current superstars.
...and towards Tim Cahill!
Brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant!
Heroes give you new squad building opportunities
with League-specific chemistry
that ties their real world club at the time of their heroic display,
and recreates those nostalgic moments
that earn FUT heroes a place in football folklore.
FUT Heroes chemistry is unique.
Providing a club link to any players in the same league,
along with a normal league link.
FUT Heroes will link with each other based
on the fact that they are in the same FUT Heroes club.
And FUT Heroes will also get the same nationality bonus other players get.
Last year, we introduced the FUT Stadium.
A home ground to let you show off your unique style for your club.
This season, we're taking it a step further,
giving you a chance to add even more of your personality
to a one-of-a-kind FUT stadium.
You'll be able to show off your unique style from the pitch-side
all the way and even to the new VIP area,
enhance crowd elements like flags, cards, and banners.
A new shared season of VOLTA Football and FUT
will keep giving you even more ways to makeover your club,
with fresh new themed-content like kits and tifos,
available to unlock throughout the year.
Plus, find your perfect combination more easily,
with the improvements we've made to item management and search functionality,
which make it easier to get the look you want in FUT 22.
Co-Op Public Matchmaking is a new way to experience FUT Co-Op.
You can play with other members of the FUT Community
and try out new players and squads spots specifically for the mode.
FUT 22 brings back all the features that make FUT our most popular game mode.
Your Ultimate Team will look, play, and feel
even more unique to your style of playing in FIFA 22.
