Evolutions are a new system in EA FC 24 that allows users to upgrade a player’s base stats, PlayStyles, weak foot, and skill moves in Ultimate Team and transform them into better cards. Any player who fits the requirements for a specific evolution can be evolved, including promo cards and Team of the Week cards.

One of the most annoying parts of Evolutions is buying eligible cards. When the community catches wind of a powerful card that fits the requirements for an upgrade, there have been some instances where that player goes extinct on the market, making it nearly impossible to start the Evolution before it expires. Academy Evolutions solves that problem by giving players every eligible card from the start.

When you log in to Ultimate Team for the first time after the Future Stars promo started, you will see a free pack in your store labeled Future Star Attackers Pack. The pack contains nine cards that are all eligible for the free Future Stars Academy Attackers Evolution.

Players can use one of the Future Stars Academy cards in the Evolution and upgrade them from 82 overall to 90 overall with better pace, shooting, dribbling, passing, physical stats, and two PlayStyle Plus abilities.
