FC 25 overhauls Division Rivals with a win-based points system, tougher relegation rules, and a new Legacy Division placement tied to FC 24 results.
- EA SPORTS FC 25 makes Division Rivals harder and more rewarding, requiring more wins for weekly rewards.
- A new win-based points system replaces the old points system, with wins worth 3 points and draws worth 1.
- Legacy Division placement sets each player's FC 25 starting division based on their highest division in FC 24.
EA SPORTS FC 25 has made Division Rivals, one of the series' most competitive game modes, more challenging and more rewarding. It's aimed at players who want to push the skill limits of Rush and Live Seasons. In this article, we'll cover FC 25 Division Rivals rewards and format.
FC 25 Division Rivals
EA is especially focused on the Champions Finals and Rivals modes to ramp up competition even further. Advancing through qualifiers in Champions Finals has been made harder than ever. This competitive spirit has also carried over to Division Rivals. EA has made several changes to this mode aimed at raising the overall skill level of players.
Division Rivals is built around a system that lets players increase their weekly win count and climb the rankings, which in turn earns them more valuable rewards. This system is a major source of motivation, especially for competitive players. So, what rewards and challenges await players in Division Rivals in FC 25?
FC 25 Division Rivals: Rewards, Ranks, Format
FC 25 has overhauled the Rivals reward system from top to bottom. Players now need more wins to earn weekly rewards. The number of wins needed for weekly rewards has been raised from three to five, and the number needed for upgraded weekly rewards has gone from seven to 15 wins. This requires players to play more matches and put in more effort. Also, in this new version of the game, a win-based system has replaced the points system. This means that even draws now contribute to your progress each week.
- Every win is worth three points,
- Draws are worth one point,
- Losses earn no points.
This new structure requires players to actively compete every week. Weekly rewards vary depending on the division a player is in and the rank they reach. The higher the rank you reach, the more valuable the rewards become.
Elite Division Rewards
EA SPORTS FC 25 has so far only revealed the rewards for the Elite Division. Elite Division is where the highest level of competition takes place, and players in this division earn quite valuable rewards. The rewards available in the Elite Division are as follows:
- 75,000 Ultimate Team Coins
- Two Untradeable 85+ Player Picks (1 of 4 choice)
- Untradeable 75 Gold Rare Player Pack
- Tradeable 50 Gold Rare Player Pack
- Tradeable Mega Pack
- Two Untradeable 83+ TOTW Player Packs
Legacy Division Placement
One of the changes FC 25 has brought to Division Rivals is the Legacy Division placement system. This system uses the highest division a player reached in FC 24 to determine their starting division in FC 25. This way, lower-skilled players don't have to face tough opponents right from the start, while higher-skilled players can earn rewards more quickly.
Below is a chart showing the starting placement in FC 25 based on the highest division reached in FC 24:
| EA FC 24 Highest Division | EA FC 25 Placement |
|---|---|
| 10 | 10 |
| 9 | 9 |
| 8 | 9 |
| 7 | 9 |
| 6 | 9 |
| 5 | 8 |
| 4 | 8 |
| 3 | 8 |
| 2 | 7 |
| 1 | 7 |
| Elite | 7 |
Checkpoints and Relegation
In FC 25, competition has been made even tougher. That's because there are fewer checkpoints in the game, and players can drop to a lower division after a poor run of form. This forces players to keep performing at a high level consistently.
- There are no checkpoints in top divisions like Division 1 and Division 2, meaning every match matters greatly for staying in the division.
- Losing a match at the start of a division can send players back down to the end of the previous division, keeping players competing under constant pressure.
However, players who reach the Elite Division are guaranteed to stay in that division until the end of the season. Once you reach the Elite Division, there's no risk of relegation, showing that competition at the top level has a privileged structure.
