How EA FC 26 Power curve change fix Ultimate Team’s biggest gripes?

The old formula in the game was to flood the market with mega-upgrades early. This made casual players fall behind, who don’t spend too much money on packs, while the whales can easily dominate the game.

EA Sports is now “pacing out upgrades more gradually.” This will ensure the base rares, Icons, and Heroes stay meta-relevant way longer and it will help a lot for casual players.

Weekly promotions will prioritize lateral enhancements (increasing playstyles over raw numbers), whereas early SBCs such as the August POTM will be removed.

To prevent snowballing, the OVR cap is set to +1. Even Chemistry Styles are receiving a refresh: A 3/6/9 boost model with trade-offs for speed demons, emphasizing undervalued stats like Composure, Reactions, and Stamina for greater meta diversity.
