To enhance matching, EA FC 25 will include relegation in Division Rivals.

In EA FC 25, the Division Rivals will undergo a significant transformation, and relegation will be implemented.

EA Sports has revealed that EA FC 25 will see a number of significant improvements across all game modes in an official community update. One of Ultimate Team's most competitive modes will always be Division Rivals. You will, however, advance differently, particularly in the upper classes.

The Division Rivals for EA FC 25 will vary from those for EA FC 24

.

Division Rivals in EA FC 24 include distinct checkpoints, and achieving a certain amount of consecutive victories (which varies throughout divisions) might lead to promotion. Up to the season reset, there is no relegation. Relegation will occur in EA FC 25, and fewer checkpoints will be present.

EA Sports claims that this will assist players in breaking free from a level where they are unable to win games. It is anticipated that the relegation mechanism would assist players in staying at a level appropriate to their ability levels. You can enter the Elite Division and keep your spot if you're skilled enough. If not, dropping to a lesser category could enable you to accomplish more goals and win more games.

#FC25 Deep Dives are coming soon.

Speaking of victories, you won't need to meet a weekly requirement any more (such as the seven wins needed in EA FC 24). Instead, when you reach a certain weekly point total—which is also influenced by your draws—you'll get a gift.Furthermore, Division Rivals' matching mechanism will no longer be employed during friendlies. Rather, it will use the same W-L formula as in Champions Finals mode in EA FC 25. Players will also be able to develop their cards in the Friendly modes of EA Sports.Even while I think these improvements are good on paper, it's better to wait until September 27 when the game launches to see how the new system performs in practice. The community's first reactions seem to be good, particularly considering that a player's divisions in the new game will be determined by their current levels in EA FC 24.

The majority of Reddit users have left good comments on this topic, however user u/rtgh brought out the fact that the new method will guarantee a more equitable and time-efficient experience for the participants. "It's a waste of time to start in Division 10 and work your way up to the higher divisions, as it presents unduly difficult matches for players who are just starting out in the game."Prominent FC trader TheFUTAccountant also demonstrated how Ultimate Team would operate under the new system.FUTBIN, a well-known community-based FC portal, expressed gratitude for the adjustment via their X account.

It's best to wait and observe for now as EA Sports prepares deeper digs for the community.
