EA Sports doesn\u2019t have the official license for the FIFA World Cup itself (EA Sports\u2019 FIFA series switched to EA Sports FC for the 2023 entry), but the new update features 53 fully licensed and playable national teams, 41 of which are competing in the actual World Cup.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Fully licensed and playable national teams include Brazil, England, France, Cabo Verde, and Uzbekistan. New stadiums include Gillette Stadium and BMO Field, alongside Central Maw, \u201ca new stadium built to capture the atmosphere of top-tier international football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The slideshow below includes two exclusive images, revealing the Mexico and Morocco national teams as they appear in The World\u2019s Game update.

From there, knockout rounds begin with the round of 32 before culminating in the tournament final.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Meanwhile, Ultimate Team gets a dedicated Event Hub, Festival of Football themed campaigns, and more. If you log in and play FC 26 between June 5 and July 24, you get a 93 OVR Festival of Football ICON Pel\u00e9 and three \u2018Choose Your Journey\u2019 Evolutions.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Throughout Festival of Football, EA Sports will add over 100 new international players to the FUT pool of items, as well as two brand new ICONS: Rivellino and Mario Kempes. They\u2019ll debut with special Greats of the Game Versions on June 19, before their Base versions are available in the FUT pool of items for Packs from June 26.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We also have additional FV 26 The World&#8217;s Game updates, including information on Evo, Tokens, Playstyles, and Clubs, courtesy of the Pitch Notes for the update.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">EA Sports FC 26 The World&#8217;s Game Update Pitch Notes:<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Evo Undo, Festival of Football PlayStyles Lab &amp; Evo Repeats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As part of a server release following the World\u2019s Game Update on June 4, you\u2019ll be able to roll back and fully reset Evolutions in your Club, EA sports said. If you reset an originally Tradable Player, they\u2019ll return to their Tradable status.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;We want your Evo choices to be meaningful to you. Previous Evo updates reduced the pressure of choosing the right player for each Evo, and we believe the Evo Undo change reduces the need to select the right evo for each of your players.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;We\u2019ve heard your feedback that choosing your own PlayStyles matters. As we reflect on FUT Birthday Bakery Evolutions, this was a missing ingredient to allow you to experiment with new players and then sell them on the Transfer Market if you didn\u2019t see them staying in your Club long term.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Festival of Football introduces a new PlayStyles Lab, allowing you to choose your preferred PlayStyles and PlayStyles+ for the following:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Festival of Football: Star Performer<\/li>\n<li>Festival of Football: National Pride<\/li>\n<li>Festival of Football: National Pride Champions<\/li>\n<li>Glory Hunters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">FUT Birthday items will also be eligible for the PlayStyles Lab, replacing the Birthday Bakery Evolutions. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In addition we\u2019ll be introducing a new item type &#8211; Evo Repeatables, which will allow you to earn additional evolutions entries. You\u2019ll see these rewards in upcoming Festival of Football content.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Tokens<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Tokens are a brand new reward type that have been designed to give you greater choice over how you play and what you earn in FUT. Starting on June 4 you\u2019ll be able to earn Festival of Football tokens across a range of game modes including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Rivals <\/li>\n<li>Squad Battles <\/li>\n<li>Rush <\/li>\n<li>Live Events <\/li>\n<li>Select Objectives <\/li>\n<li>Select SBCs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019re excited about the impact Tokens will have on FUT and your rewards. Starting in Festival of Football, Tokens will become the primary way to earn rewards in FUT each week.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">No matter how or where you play FUT, from Season 8 onwards the aim is that you will feel better rewarded for the time you spend playing in game. By unifying mode rewards into Tokens you\u2019ll be able to progress towards the same rewards no matter your mode, giving you greater choice where you play.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Like you see currently in FUT, higher rank finishes will reward you with both Tokens and Additional Rewards for competing at the highest level. As we balance FUT for the entire community, we\u2019re introducing a cap on how many Tokens you can earn each week, placing greater emphasis on the rewards you choose to pursue. Throughout Festival of Football, you\u2019ll be able to earn up to 1,000 Tokens each week (5,000 Tokens in total). Tokens offer a more flexible and reliable way to earn rewards across modes.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We expect that skilled players may be able to earn 1,000 Tokens through playing Squad Battles, Rivals or Live Events and completing special Objectives and SBCs each week. We\u2019ll review this and listen to feedback to understand if this is an area we want to make changes to in the future. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Festival of Football Tokens are earned only through playing FUT and will not be made available inside Store Pack offers.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>FUT Champions Tokens<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In Season 8, we\u2019ll also be introducing FUT Champions Tokens and a FUT Champions Store featuring a range of rewards, including a rotating selection of special Red FUT Champions Player Items each week. Champions Tokens give you greater choice over your Champions rewards no matter your skill level.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For those who pick up a handful of wins each weekend, you can get weekly rewards or save Tokens over multiple weekends in a Season for bigger rewards.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For those who pick up multiple wins each weekend, we think this change will give you greater choice over the rewards you get. Higher win finishes will still provide additional Coins on top of Champions Tokens, to reward you for pushing for your best finish each weekend. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We believe Tokens will give you greater control over the weekends you choose to play in. As mentioned, this is the first time we\u2019ll be introducing Tokens, and we\u2019ll be taking your feedback on board. As with all of our newest features we are excited to see how this one evolves in the future. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>PlayStyles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As we continue to monitor and respond to community feedback, we\u2019re making the following PlayStyles changes to improve gameplay balance.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Bruiser<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Following feedback surrounding shoulder challenge outcomes feeling too impactful, especially when using the Bruiser PlayStyle, we have updated both Bruiser and Bruiser+ to better balance between PlayStyles and Attributes.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">See the changes below:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Attributes and Playstyles Balance<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Slightly reduced the boost to shoulder challenges from Bruiser and Bruiser+<\/li>\n<li>Added a slight boost to the receiver of the shoulder challenge if they have Enforcer or Enforcer+\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>This boost matches the one made to Bruiser\/Bruiser+ <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Improved Shoulder Challenge Outcomes<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Improved shoulder challenge outcomes so stumble direction and force now better reflect the difference in Strength and PlayStyles between players.\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Note that players with a clear Strength and PlayStyle advantage while defending are able to push the dribbler off the ball like before<\/li>\n<li>If the advantage lies more with the dribbler they are not pushed away as easily and have a chance to recover the ball<\/li>\n<li>This effect scales with the difference in Strength and PS boost between the players resulting in more authentic outcomes overall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Improved Detection of Challenges from Behind<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Added logic to predict when a shoulder challenge may hit the back of the opponent, and cancel the challenge if so<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Other Changes<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Addressed a visual bug where the Bruiser+ icon displays when the PlayStyle wasn\u2019t in effect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Intercept<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019ve also made the following change to the Intercept PlayStyle to make Attributes more impactful while preserving the PlayStyle benefit:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li> Added the ability for players without the Intercept PlayStyle but with a 90+ Interceptions attribute rating to have access to the same animations as those with the PlayStyle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Penalty Shootouts Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">To mark the beginning of knockout football, we\u2019re

EA Sports doesn\u2019t have the official license for the FIFA World Cup itself (EA Sports\u2019 FIFA series switched to EA Sports FC for the 2023 entry), but the new update features 53 fully licensed and playable national teams, 41 of which are competing in the actual World Cup.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Fully licensed and playable national teams include Brazil, England, France, Cabo Verde, and Uzbekistan. New stadiums include Gillette Stadium and BMO Field, alongside Central Maw, \u201ca new stadium built to capture the atmosphere of top-tier international football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The slideshow below includes two exclusive images, revealing the Mexico and Morocco national teams as they appear in The World\u2019s Game update.

From there, knockout rounds begin with the round of 32 before culminating in the tournament final.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Meanwhile, Ultimate Team gets a dedicated Event Hub, Festival of Football themed campaigns, and more. If you log in and play FC 26 between June 5 and July 24, you get a 93 OVR Festival of Football ICON Pel\u00e9 and three \u2018Choose Your Journey\u2019 Evolutions.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Throughout Festival of Football, EA Sports will add over 100 new international players to the FUT pool of items, as well as two brand new ICONS: Rivellino and Mario Kempes. They\u2019ll debut with special Greats of the Game Versions on June 19, before their Base versions are available in the FUT pool of items for Packs from June 26.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We also have additional FV 26 The World&#8217;s Game updates, including information on Evo, Tokens, Playstyles, and Clubs, courtesy of the Pitch Notes for the update.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">EA Sports FC 26 The World&#8217;s Game Update Pitch Notes:<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Evo Undo, Festival of Football PlayStyles Lab &amp; Evo Repeats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As part of a server release following the World\u2019s Game Update on June 4, you\u2019ll be able to roll back and fully reset Evolutions in your Club, EA sports said. If you reset an originally Tradable Player, they\u2019ll return to their Tradable status.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;We want your Evo choices to be meaningful to you. Previous Evo updates reduced the pressure of choosing the right player for each Evo, and we believe the Evo Undo change reduces the need to select the right evo for each of your players.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;We\u2019ve heard your feedback that choosing your own PlayStyles matters. As we reflect on FUT Birthday Bakery Evolutions, this was a missing ingredient to allow you to experiment with new players and then sell them on the Transfer Market if you didn\u2019t see them staying in your Club long term.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Festival of Football introduces a new PlayStyles Lab, allowing you to choose your preferred PlayStyles and PlayStyles+ for the following:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Festival of Football: Star Performer<\/li>\n<li>Festival of Football: National Pride<\/li>\n<li>Festival of Football: National Pride Champions<\/li>\n<li>Glory Hunters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">FUT Birthday items will also be eligible for the PlayStyles Lab, replacing the Birthday Bakery Evolutions. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In addition we\u2019ll be introducing a new item type &#8211; Evo Repeatables, which will allow you to earn additional evolutions entries. You\u2019ll see these rewards in upcoming Festival of Football content.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Tokens<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Tokens are a brand new reward type that have been designed to give you greater choice over how you play and what you earn in FUT. Starting on June 4 you\u2019ll be able to earn Festival of Football tokens across a range of game modes including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Rivals <\/li>\n<li>Squad Battles <\/li>\n<li>Rush <\/li>\n<li>Live Events <\/li>\n<li>Select Objectives <\/li>\n<li>Select SBCs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019re excited about the impact Tokens will have on FUT and your rewards. Starting in Festival of Football, Tokens will become the primary way to earn rewards in FUT each week.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">No matter how or where you play FUT, from Season 8 onwards the aim is that you will feel better rewarded for the time you spend playing in game. By unifying mode rewards into Tokens you\u2019ll be able to progress towards the same rewards no matter your mode, giving you greater choice where you play.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Like you see currently in FUT, higher rank finishes will reward you with both Tokens and Additional Rewards for competing at the highest level. As we balance FUT for the entire community, we\u2019re introducing a cap on how many Tokens you can earn each week, placing greater emphasis on the rewards you choose to pursue. Throughout Festival of Football, you\u2019ll be able to earn up to 1,000 Tokens each week (5,000 Tokens in total). Tokens offer a more flexible and reliable way to earn rewards across modes.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We expect that skilled players may be able to earn 1,000 Tokens through playing Squad Battles, Rivals or Live Events and completing special Objectives and SBCs each week. We\u2019ll review this and listen to feedback to understand if this is an area we want to make changes to in the future. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Festival of Football Tokens are earned only through playing FUT and will not be made available inside Store Pack offers.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>FUT Champions Tokens<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In Season 8, we\u2019ll also be introducing FUT Champions Tokens and a FUT Champions Store featuring a range of rewards, including a rotating selection of special Red FUT Champions Player Items each week. Champions Tokens give you greater choice over your Champions rewards no matter your skill level.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For those who pick up a handful of wins each weekend, you can get weekly rewards or save Tokens over multiple weekends in a Season for bigger rewards.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For those who pick up multiple wins each weekend, we think this change will give you greater choice over the rewards you get. Higher win finishes will still provide additional Coins on top of Champions Tokens, to reward you for pushing for your best finish each weekend. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We believe Tokens will give you greater control over the weekends you choose to play in. As mentioned, this is the first time we\u2019ll be introducing Tokens, and we\u2019ll be taking your feedback on board. As with all of our newest features we are excited to see how this one evolves in the future. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>PlayStyles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As we continue to monitor and respond to community feedback, we\u2019re making the following PlayStyles changes to improve gameplay balance.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Bruiser<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Following feedback surrounding shoulder challenge outcomes feeling too impactful, especially when using the Bruiser PlayStyle, we have updated both Bruiser and Bruiser+ to better balance between PlayStyles and Attributes.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">See the changes below:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Attributes and Playstyles Balance<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Slightly reduced the boost to shoulder challenges from Bruiser and Bruiser+<\/li>\n<li>Added a slight boost to the receiver of the shoulder challenge if they have Enforcer or Enforcer+\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>This boost matches the one made to Bruiser\/Bruiser+ <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Improved Shoulder Challenge Outcomes<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Improved shoulder challenge outcomes so stumble direction and force now better reflect the difference in Strength and PlayStyles between players.\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Note that players with a clear Strength and PlayStyle advantage while defending are able to push the dribbler off the ball like before<\/li>\n<li>If the advantage lies more with the dribbler they are not pushed away as easily and have a chance to recover the ball<\/li>\n<li>This effect scales with the difference in Strength and PS boost between the players resulting in more authentic outcomes overall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Improved Detection of Challenges from Behind<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Added logic to predict when a shoulder challenge may hit the back of the opponent, and cancel the challenge if so<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Other Changes<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>Addressed a visual bug where the Bruiser+ icon displays when the PlayStyle wasn\u2019t in effect<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Intercept<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019ve also made the following change to the Intercept PlayStyle to make Attributes more impactful while preserving the PlayStyle benefit:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li> Added the ability for players without the Intercept PlayStyle but with a 90+ Interceptions attribute rating to have access to the same animations as those with the PlayStyle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Penalty Shootouts Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">To mark the beginning of knockout football, we\u2019re
