EA FC 25: Road to the Knockouts Unveiled
Understanding Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) in EA FC 25
EA Sports has launched the Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) event in EA FC 25, an engaging promotion tied to UEFA’s club competitions, encompassing both the men’s and women’s tournaments. The core idea is simple: players receive upgrades based on their real-life performances in these prestigious competitions. This year’s promotion introduces several new elements, and here’s what you need to know.
Changes in the RTTK Format
The RTTK promotion in EA FC 25 has undergone significant changes, reflecting the revamped formats of the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League for the 2024/25 season. This adjustment means that the way players earn upgrades in the game differs from previous years, potentially resulting in fewer upgrades.
The upgrade path in the RTTK promo was unveiled through an in-game teaser featuring Jude Bellingham, the cover star of EA FC 25. Each player has the opportunity to receive four upgrades. The first two upgrades can be earned if a player’s team wins three league matches or if the team scores in four different matches. This approach, which considers the entire team’s performance, is especially beneficial for defensive players who may not score as frequently.
For the Women’s Champions League, upgrades can be achieved by winning two matches or scoring in four different matches. The league’s format, with six matches, accounts for this difference. The final upgrade is reserved for players whose teams finish in the top two positions in their league, a challenging feat given that each tournament features 36 teams.
Tracking RTTK Upgrades in EA FC 25
The RTTK promotion runs for a limited time, but the cards themselves can receive upgrades until February, when the group stages of UEFA’s competitions conclude. Monitoring which cards have received upgrades can be daunting due to the sheer number of promo cards. However, we’ve simplified the process with a comprehensive tracker that indicates which cards are on track for upgrades and which have lagged behind.
Upgrades are applied to cards every Friday following the conclusion of a match round where an objective has been completed. However, upgrades for a top-two league finish will only be awarded after the group stage concludes in February.
