“This is a revolutionary season for EA SPORTS FIFA,” said David
Rutter, Electronic Arts GM and Executive Producer. “In June we revealed
a new game engine, a deep set of gameplay features and mechanics, and
the introduction of an immersive, narrative-driven mode in FIFA 17
The Journey.
The response from fans was amazing, and now to announce
what will be the biggest season yet in FIFA Ultimate Team and
introduce innovation in the most popular modes across the game – we
can’t wait for people to play.”

Part of the biggest season yet in Ultimate Team™, FIFA 17
introduces two new ways to play within the franchise’s most popular mode
with Squad Building Challenges and FUT Champions. Squad Building
Challenges gives fans the opportunity to test their management skills on
console or in the FUT 17 companion app, and earn in-game rewards
by fulfilling squad requirements with players from their Club. Once the
requirements are met, fans can exchange squads in each challenge to
redeem rewards. FUT Champions* is a new way for all fans to
compete in daily knockout tournaments for in-game rewards and the chance
to play in the Weekend League. Once fans make the Weekend League, they
will compete to win matches and rank up for rewards. Each Weekend League
performance counts, as combined wins help fans rank up the Monthly
Leaderboard for the chance to earn the biggest in-game rewards in FUT.
Reaching the top spots on the Leaderboard could result in an opportunity
to compete in the EA SPORTS FIFA 17 Ultimate Team Championship Series**
– part of a new competitive gaming platform in FIFA 17 which
gives eligible fans a chance to compete*** at the highest level and
their share of a $1.3 million USD prize pool.

“The popularity of Ultimate Team, combined with the global nature
of the most popular sports franchise on the planet, makes FIFA 17
a very exciting title for a season of competitive gaming like the one we
are announcing today,” said Peter Moore, Chief Competition Officer,
Electronic Arts. “From qualifying via FUT Champions to competing
in the Ultimate Team Championship Series and FIFA Interactive
World Cup
, we want all players to experience the thrill of
competition, and we have a great season ahead for all our fans.”

FIFA Ultimate Team Dynamic Live Service means fans can
expect compelling content throughout the season, like fresh new kits and
items, chances for big in-game rewards, and more reasons to play than
ever before. That starts just after launch with Ones to Watch – a new
event in FUT 17 featuring some of this summer’s most notable
transfers as season-long, dynamic items. Attributes of Ones to Watch
player items increase if the real-world player is named to the Team of
the Week, so FUT fans will want to find players who they expect to make
an impact at their new club. More on FIFA Ultimate Team: here.

“We know fans of Ultimate Team want more ways to play, more
items, more content, and exciting events that deliver big in-game
rewards,” said Nick Wlodyka, Electronic Arts’ Senior Producer of FIFA
Ultimate Team. “We are excited to show fans some of the new
content, kits, and events in plan that will make this season the biggest
yet.”

Career Mode* ups its authenticity by innovating on the Financial
System to reflect the structure of teams around the world by including
your Club Worth, and a detailed breakdown of income and expenses. The
stakes are higher in FIFA 17 Career Mode because fans are
now expected to meet objectives of their board in Total Club Management,
a system based on the team’s personality which sets expectations in five
categories: Domestic Success, Continental Success, Brand Exposure,
Financial, Youth Development. More on Career Mode: here.

Pro Clubs* introduces a new Player Growth System which delivers a
comprehensive new way to develop your player by rewarding teamwork and
co-operation based on your match rating. The mode also brings a new
level of customization to fans’ Clubs with 24 kit and crest templates
that fans can design into their own identity. More on Pro Clubs: here.
