100k Pack Giveaway? EA FC 26 Ultimate Team’s Insane Launch Secret!

Look Sports Media – It’s almost time to dive back into Ultimate Team, and EA FC 26 is promising a massive shake-up. While the transfer of leftover EA FC points from FC 25 remains unconfirmed, despite leaks suggesting otherwise, a juicy secret has emerged from the closed beta that’ll have FUT players salivating. Leaked information points to a generous launch objective rewarding players with a Jumbo Rare Players Pack—worth a staggering 100,000 coins—for scoring a mere 250 goals.

This isn’t just pocket change; these packs, containing 24 rare gold players, offer a significant chance at landing some of the top 50 players leaked for EA FC 26. This early boost is a game-changer, especially considering the importance of Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and the new Gauntlet mode, which demands fresh squads for each match. While 250 goals sounds daunting, grinding against easier AI significantly speeds up the process.

The game officially launches September 19th (Ultimate Edition gets a week early access, with PC players getting a day ahead of console). But the action starts even sooner! The Web App drops on September 17th, allowing early pack openings and trading.

What else is new in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team? EA promises significant improvements. The biggest change? Two distinct gameplay styles: one for competitive online matches (faster-paced, skill-focused) and another for offline play. Live Events and Tournaments, including the new Gauntlet mode (five-match tournaments requiring new squads each game), will keep things fresh. Furthermore, EA has finally addressed persistent issues, punishing players who quit matches (even by turning off their consoles) and ensuring wins for players whose opponents quit during the second half, after a red card, or penalty. Finally, Divisions 10-6 players can now participate in FUT Champs Challengers, opening up qualification for FUT Champs to a wider range of players.

This year’s Ultimate Team is shaping up to be the most competitive and rewarding yet. Get ready to grind!
