With the launch of EA SPORTS FC 25, a new system is being introduced to determine your starting Division in Division Rivals, taking into account your highest Division achieved in EA SPORTS FC 24. This adjustment is designed to help players transition more smoothly, get into appropriately competitive divisions quicker, and ensure a more balanced matchmaking system for both returning players and newcomers.
The goal of this system is to allow returning players to pick up where they left off, minimizing the grind to get back to their rightful skill-based division. It also provides new players with a more balanced experience, avoiding immediate matches against highly skilled veterans.
When you first enter Division Rivals in FC 25, the game will assess your highest Division reached in FC 24 and place you in an appropriate starting Division in the new season. This starting point is designed to reflect your previous skill level and help you earn higher-tier rewards faster. Additionally, this adjustment ensures that new players aren’t overwhelmed by facing more experienced opponents right at the start of the game.
For example, players who finished in Division 10 in FC 24 will start in Division 10 in FC 25, while those who reached Elite in FC 24 will begin in Division 7 in FC 25. This tiered transition allows for smoother progression as players adjust to the new season.
The table below provides an example of how your highest Division in EA SPORTS FC 24 will translate to EA SPORTS FC 25 placement:
| EAS FC 24 Highest Division | EAS FC 25 Placement |
|---|---|
| Division 10 | Division 10 |
| Division 9 | Division 10 |
| Division 8 | Division 9 |
| Division 7 | Division 9 |
| Division 6 | Division 9 |
| Division 5 | Division 8 |
| Division 4 | Division 8 |
| Division 3 | Division 8 |
| Division 2 | Division 7 |
| Division 1 | Division 7 |
| Elite | Division 7 |
Please note that tuning is not final and is subject to change as the developers fine-tune the gameplay and balance for FC 25.
Same EA Account: If you’re transitioning to FC 25 from a different platform, make sure that you’re using the same EA Account to ensure your Division Rank from FC 24 carries over to FC 25. This is essential to retain your progress and be placed in the appropriate division.
Multiple Platforms: If you have progress across multiple platforms, your highest Division Rank from FC 24 will be carried over to FC 25. This means that even if you played on multiple consoles, your best performance will be taken into account.
The Legacy Division Placement system in FC 25 is a thoughtful addition to the game’s competitive landscape. By considering your previous performance in FC 24, the game ensures that returning players can resume their journey without being held back by lower divisions, while new players can enjoy more evenly matched competition from the start. As you prepare for EA SPORTS FC 25, be sure to maintain consistency in your account to make the most of this transition and get the best start possible in the new season.
Make sure to keep an eye out for any tuning adjustments that may happen before launch, as the placement system is subject to change. Best of luck in FC 25, and may your progress continue to rise!
