Get the Best Rewards in EA FC 25 Division Rivals with These Tips
EA FC 25 introduces a revamped Division Rivals mode, offering competitive players new ways to earn rewards in Ultimate Team. The game now uses a points-based system, ensuring that wins and draws contribute to your weekly progression. This update marks a shift from the previous win-only system, providing players with more flexibility to achieve their goals.
How the Points System Works
The core of Division Rivals in EA FC 25 revolves around earning points through match results. Players receive:
- 3 points for a win
- 1 point for a draw
- No points for a loss
Unlike past editions, where the total number of wins determined weekly rewards, this system rewards both consistency and competitive performance. Players who can manage to draw in difficult matches can still progress and unlock valuable rewards by accumulating enough points over time.
Division Structure and Checkpoints
There are 10 divisions in total, with the Elite Division reserved for the top-tier competitors. Within each division, players progress through ranks and stages, with certain checkpoints designed to prevent significant drops in ranking after a bad game.
However, FC 25 reduces the number of these checkpoints, especially in the higher divisions. This change encourages a more dynamic experience, where moving up and down the ladder happens more frequently. For Division 1 and 2 players, no checkpoints exist, making relegation a real risk if performance dips.
Weekly Rewards and How to Claim Them
Weekly rewards in Division Rivals are distributed every Thursday at 8 AM BST/GMT. To qualify for standard weekly rewards, players must win at least five matches within the week. For upgraded rewards, players need to achieve up to 15 wins.
These rewards vary based on your division and rank, with higher divisions offering significantly better prizes. In the Elite Division, top players can expect:
- 75,000 Ultimate Team Coins
- Tradeable 85+ Player Picks (Pick 1 of 4)
- Untradeable and Tradeable packs, including rare gold and Mega Packs
All rewards can be claimed directly from the Division Rivals tab within the game menu.
Progression and Win Streaks
One of the most exciting features of the new system is the Win Streak mechanic. If you manage to win two games consecutively, you'll activate a streak that allows you to skip stages. For each additional win during this streak, you move up two stages, accelerating your progression toward better rewards.
How to Maximize Your Performance in Division Rivals
Climbing the ranks in Division Rivals requires strategy and consistency. To maximize your rewards:
- Focus on maintaining a steady win rate rather than pushing for a perfect record. Draws can still boost your progress.
- Utilize Win Streaks to climb faster through the divisions by concentrating on back-to-back victories.
- Stay aware of checkpoints, especially in the lower divisions, to ensure you don't lose too much progress after a loss.
With the right approach, players can earn top-tier rewards and solidify their position in the competitive landscape of EA FC 25.
