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.
