Differences between EA FC 25 Ultimate Edition and Standard Edition

Since the launch of EA FC 25 in September 2024, the game has provided two versions: FC25 Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition. The main differences between the two versions are the price, rewards and game experience.

Price Comparison

FC25 Standard Edition and Ultimate Edition, the price difference between the two is quite large. According to the official pricing at the time of release, the price difference between the two versions is $30. The retail price of FC25 Standard Edition on PlayStation, XBOX and PC is $69.99, and the Ultimate Edition is priced as high as $99.99 on the same platform.

Tips: The above is the price at the time of the game's release. The actual price may vary depending on the region and platform promotions. For example, the Nintendo Switch version dropped to $29.99.

Reward Comparison

FC25 standard version and ultimate version have different rewards. The ultimate version rewards are mainly:

1. 4600 FC Points (3850 FC Points for Switch version)

2. Career mode rewards

3. Club mode rewards

4. Untradeable Ultimate Team hero player items (pre-order only)

5. Additional Ultimate Team season rewards (pre-order only)

Among the above ultimate version rewards, the core selling point of the official promotion is the reward of additional FC Points, which seems to be the most cost-effective reward.

Community Feedback

Many players in major forums have questioned the value of the ultimate version. Some rewards of the ultimate version are only available during the pre-order period, and players who purchase later will no longer enjoy them. In addition, the demand for FC Points is not large in the later stages of the game, so the current rewards of the ultimate version are no longer so eye-catching.

Is the Ultimate Version Worth Buying?

Suitable for players who buy the Ultimate Edition:

If you plan to play FC 25 for a long time, are very keen on the UT mode and want to quickly upgrade your lineup, the Ultimate Edition is still worth considering, especially if you plan to buy FC Points. The Ultimate Edition includes 4600 FC Points, which can save some expenses.

Suitable for players who buy the Standard Edition or wait for FC 26:

If you are not interested in the UT mode and FC Points, just buy the Standard Edition. In addition, considering that EA FC 26 is expected to be released in half a year, if you are looking forward to the new game, it may be more cost-effective to wait for the new version.
