College Football 25 Ultimate Team Update: Bug fixes and major additions in latest release ft. Travis Hunter
Even before an update, EA Sports' mammoth blockbuster College Football 25 has remained popular. But months after release, EA is still tweaking the game and they proved it with a major update release that appeared Thursday.
The update covered a variety of areas of the game, but perhaps the most significantly impacted mode was the Ultimate Team area.
College Football 25 Ultimate Team update
What is Ultimate Team mode?
Ultimate Team is one of the new additions to College Football 25 from prior EA games. In Ultimate Team, players work across rosters and eras to assemble their dream teams. Players complete challenges and objectives to gain coins, with which they can purchase new players.
Players plug those acquired players into their teams and can wheel and deal for the best squad. Players in Ultimate Team can play opponents or against the computer in entire seasons. Plugging in players who will fit in the player's particular scheme is a key component of the game, essentially mirroring the real-life implications of football.
What was included in the EA Update for Ultimate Team mode?
A multitude of new fixes arrived from EA for Ultimate Team mode. Among the many highlights of the new update were these changes (via EA.com):
- Included Play A Friend as a playable mode.
- Increased AP limit to 12 for Season 3
- Increased the AP cost of ‘Aftershock’ from 2 AP to 5 AP. Having 4 Defensive Linemen with Aftershock is no more.
