EA SPORTS FC Mobile’s new season update marking its third year has been released. The FC Mobile Anniversary Event, which will run for one month, offers special rewards and squad-building opportunities across ten different sections, featuring TOTY upgrades, TOTS combinations, and the return of Bernabéu Stadium.
- Gauntlet Mode: A PvE match series requiring rotation due to player usage limits, testing squad depth and strategic setup.
- Game Plans: Combines Ultra Defensive, Defensive, Balanced, Attacking, and Ultra Attacking mentalities with formations, allowing players to prepare four combinations and switch between them during matches.
- Incisive Through Pass: Increases the accuracy of ground through passes.
- Dead Ball: Improves curl and accuracy on free kicks.
The HUD screen, loading pages, player indicators, and in-match presentation elements have also been revamped.
Why it matters
The changes made in EA SPORTS FC Mobile make switching between pre-prepared Game Plans during matches and squad rotation due to player usage limits more important. This could widen the difference in approach between players who rely on a single strong squad and those who assess different players and change their formations according to the flow of the match. The new PlayStyles, meanwhile, expand control options by focusing on mechanics that affect the outcome at specific moments, such as through passes and free kicks. The anniversary event offers a limited period to try out these systems alongside opportunities to earn rewards and improve the squad. However, the inconsistency between the FC 27 reference in the headline and the FC Mobile season update in the content leaves it unclear whether this is a new game or an update to the existing game.
