Video summary
The video introduces "Ultimate Rewind," a major promotional event replacing the traditional Footies mode, which aims to revitalize old cards from the beginning of FC26 with new endgame ratings and full customization capabilities. The host reveals that packs today will contain an unprecedented number of special cards, estimated at nearly 500 players, drastically reducing the likelihood of pulling common gold cards. This massive influx includes re-released versions of early-year specials like Bruno Fernandes, now boasting 99 overall ratings alongside other high-tier cards from promos such as Foot Birthday and Unbreakables. The core concept involves taking these legacy designs and applying them with significantly boosted stats, effectively allowing players to use their favorite early-game icons with endgame power levels throughout the final weeks of the game.
A significant portion of the update focuses on the new Play Styles Lab, which is expected to accommodate all 500+ cards in packs, a first for this feature. This development promises to eliminate the tedious process of manually adding fifth-place stop pluses by allowing players to instantly apply five play style pluses to their customized cards directly from the pack. The host speculates that this system will likely result in many of these re-released cards reaching 98 or 99 overall ratings with full customization, potentially rendering the market obsolete for these specific players as they become freely obtainable and highly powerful. Additionally, the event features several Special Team SBCs, including long-awaited entries for Zlatan Ibrahimović and Neymar, alongside a highly anticipated 99-rated Rafael Leão card, signaling a trend toward higher overall ratings in Evolutions to match the new customization standards.
Looking beyond the current promo, the video highlights the release of the full FC27 database and a community voting event that will shape the inaugural "Destined for Glory" squad for the next season. Players can vote on various roster members to upgrade their stats, with notable mentions of boosting Luis Diaz's pace or improving Cristiano Ronaldo's overall rating after recent deductions. The host also notes the return of retro FIFA designs from years 18 through 20 and expects a new live event to coincide with the promo, further enriching the endgame experience. With the market predicted to crash due to the sheer volume of special cards available, the update aims to provide a fresh and exciting conclusion to the current season while setting the stage for the upcoming FC27 cycle through community engagement and historical nostalgia.

Hey guys, it's Nate aka the foot
accountant. Welcome back to the channel.
Footies is over and replacing it is
Ultimate Rewind, which we have learned
is taking old cards from the beginning
of FC26 and giving them new endgame
ratings. But not only that, as it says
here, they might be fully customizable
in the play styles lab. Yes, quite
interesting. And I have some news
directly from this leaker himself when I
asked him what is happening today with
the new cards that are coming into
packs. Especially because considering
the amount of cards that we're going to
see today in packs. Allegedly almost 500
cards are going to be in packs today.
Packs are going to be the craziest they
have ever been. We have like 250 players
in packs right now. Double that. You're
not going to be packing very many gold
cards at all with the amount of special
cards that are going to be in packs. We
got a lot of content. That's expected
today, guys. 99 rated player SBCs are
finally going to happen more often. New
token rewards and new EVOs. Hey, could
we maybe create a 99 rated card through
EVOS today or at least very soon? EA,
that would be nice. We're going to cover
everything that we're expecting today on
a promo Friday. And of course, looking
ahead a little bit to FC27 news that
we're getting today as well as the full
FC27 database comes out and we get to
vote on the cards that we think should
be in the first promo of FC27. Let's
talk about it all. If you're excited for
it, drop a thumbs up for the video,
hyped video, and subscribe if you are
new. First thing I want to mention to
you guys today is we have a special
video going up on the channel today. I
was blessed to be able to play FIFA 15
yesterday through the Aurora Foot
servers. I tweeted about it if you want
to see my team from yesterday. But we're
going to have a video recap of that
going up if you want to trip down memory
lane or if you just want to see what
this game used to look like 11 years
ago. We were able to play Ultimate Team
yesterday and it was so much fun. So,
make sure you check that out. But, I
want to look over yesterday's content on
Thursday really, really quickly because
we have more SP. They didn't release a
whole lot of it, but the weekly and
daily objectives refreshed along with
our pro clubs, player, manager, career
stuff in objectives. If you're trying to
level up, there's a little bit of SP,
but not a whole lot. Uh now in
Evolutions yesterday we had a footies
finale evo here for a max 97 rated card
that can go up to 98 passing and 98
dribbling. It gives a shooting boost as
well, but not very much of one. And
actually in the description of this Evo
when it was first dropped, it said that
it gave a pace boost as well. And as you
can see now that wording has been
removed from the evolution there. But it
is 50,000 coins. It does not give you
the footies card type. Unfortunately, if
you want to put the footies card type on
somebody, well, I think that chance ran
out cuz the everything at once evo has
gone away and it's actually expired even
though it's showing there for me. But
maybe that won't even matter having to
have the footies card type to make cards
customizable because of what we're
learning about the play styles lab
today. Now, to round out yesterday's
content on Thursday, we had ourselves
one last footies player SBC, Maxwell
Cornet. We had the marquee matchups SBC
and most importantly we had the
repeatable footies provisions upgrade.
One of the key SBC's in our unlimited
pack grind refresh the exact same pack
the exact same requirements and it is
out until the end of the game. So that
was very nice. Now, let's just get
straight into the conversation of what
is happening today with Ultimate Rewind
because we thought, of course, like in
the past few years, that after footies,
we would go straight into the preseason
promo, which bridges the gap between
FC26 and FC27. I mean, that's what our
season right now is named, the
preseason, season 10. But instead,
confirming what we talked about
yesterday, we have the ultimate rewind
promo that is dropping today. But we
have more news about it and some very
interesting aspects to this promo, guys.
This is taking the Endgame EVOs to a
whole new level. First of all, we're
going to have almost 500 players in
packs today. Now, what cards are going
to be in packs? Well, from what it
sounds like, we are getting, and the
whole premise of this promo is this, old
re-released promo cards. So like this
cornerstones Bruno Fernandez as an 88
rated card from the beginning of the
year is going to get 99 rated stats and
be in packs today. ASY foot trader kind
of confirmed that this Nepentha's
question says this isn't new cards. Old
cards with the ability to be an Evolab.
He says new cards in old designs. Bruno
is 99 rated. That's crazy. I mean think
about 450 total cards in packs. First of
all, that is going to make packs be all
special cards all the time. How many
gold cards are even going to be in
packs? It's going to be difficult to see
gold cards when you open these. Like
getting an all gold 85 by10 like I just
did is probably going to be virtually
impossible today with how many cards are
going to be in packs. So I kind of like
the concept. That's kind of cool because
if you think back to the beginning of
the year and you're like I used this
Elise, I used that Alvarez. I used that
Hunman Sun. Now I get to use that same
card in this endgame period with crazy
stats. And I would imagine that most of
these cards are going to be 97 98 99.
But still with a huge list of players,
this many 450 or 500, surely there's
still some like older specials like
we've had currently that are just
re-released, right? Like team of the
seasons, you know, uh team of the years,
some of the icon cards, because not all
of those are getting re-released in this
promo. From what we've seen, the cards
that are getting re-released are like
for real from the beginning of the year.
Foot Birthday, that's the latest promo
in this list. Unbreakables, Joab Bonito,
Knockout, Royalty, Ultimate Screamo,
Winter Wild Cards. Those are all like
pre team of the year promos again except
for Foot Birthday. Those are all the
cards that seem to be getting released
today. Like Bruno, like some of these
ratings reload with boosted endgame
stats. But that is just the first part
of the equation, right? Tons of cards
and packs. That's going to be fun.
Allegedly, all of these players fit into
the play styles lab. And we get to
customize them, too. I actually DM'd ASY
for Trader. I like never DM' the leakers
because I don't know, they tweet
everything and we hear about it. But I
DM'd him because I was confused based
off these tweets. I was like, "Wait a
second. Do all the players that are
coming in packs today fit into the EVO
lab?" And he said from what he has heard
that is the case. All the players that
are getting refreshed overalls will fit
into the play styles lab. It's going to
be really easy to figure out if that's
the truth because right now all the
cards that fit into the play styles lab
are still like the national pride, all
the World Cup cards, festival of
football items. You have foot birthday
and footies that fit in here as well.
They're going to have to add a whole
bunch of cards to this rarity type or
they're just going to say all specials
fit into the play styles lab. And that's
something that we have never seen
before. Or maybe they say all ratings
rewind or you know ultimate rewind cards
are going to fit into this play styles
lab. That's a level of endgame that we
haven't really comprehended yet because
this new play styles lab hasn't had an
endgame period. We don't know what the
endgame look for a play styles lab is.
Sure. First of all, we love this going
to five place stop pluses so we don't
have to use our rewards tab here and all
these kind of annoying fifth place stop
plus footies evos when you go through
all these different EVOs that we have to
try and put a fifth place stop plus on
your footies card. You're just going to
be able to put put five play style
pluses on them right away. But if you're
able from this promo team that is coming
out today to put a fifth place stop plus
on like all the cards that you pack,
that's crazy as well. like, is there
really going to need to be too much of a
pack grind? After you pack the player
that you want to get, you put five play
stop pluses on them, they're probably a
98 or a 99 and then you're good to go
and you're set for the rest of the game.
So, that is really something that I'm
trying to wrap my mind around. What are
these leakers saying when they say all
players can get five play style pluses?
When they re-release this Bruno today
and make him 99 rated, is he only going
to have one play style plus still and
then we customize the rest or how's that
going to work? Like surely that's the
way it's going to work because if these
are earlier on in the year cards with
one or zero maximum two play style
pluses then there wouldn't be a point to
customize them if they were going to be
released with increased stats and added
play styles and play style pluses. So
that's kind of what it seems to be like
today and that is going to be wild. So
that's the biggest thing. Almost 500
players in packs re-release special
cards with big time stats and probably a
good chunk of them being 99 rated too.
Now, speaking of 99 rated, SBC's today
when we have 500 special cards and
packs, where are we putting all that
extra fodder? We've got a Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and a Neymar SBC that are
incoming. Guys, finally, they're giving
Zlatan and SBC. I know what you're
thinking because I'm thinking the same
thing. My Zlatan Evo is better because
if you did a Zlatan Evo, it's probably
better than this 98 rated card
statistically, right? 92 passing, 94
pace. Little low compared to what you
could do through Evos. But this is still
crazy to me. And I tweeted this
yesterday that for a new icon and one of
the biggest icon names that EA have
added to this game in the last couple of
years, he didn't get an SBC or any sort
of card that was obtainable to everybody
like SBC Objective, anything like that
until the last month, the last three
weeks of this game. I think EA missed
the boat this year on his Zlatan. Even
if it was like a little bro SBC like a
90 rated Zlatan a couple of months ago
or like even like during foot birthday
or something like that. I think they
missed a boat there because so many
people would have gone and done that.
But um you know that's what they've
chosen to do for Zlatan. So Zlatan must
have said don't give me an SBC or
something and they had to listen to him.
Zlatan gets an SBC when he wants. I
don't know. But Neymar's also getting an
SBC as well for his glory hunters card
which would be of course fully
customizable there. But I think the
biggest SBC still is the 99 rated Rafael
Liao, which we are expecting to be
today. And it just sounds like there's a
whole lot more 99 rated that is
incoming. And I also think that has to
be the trend with evolutions because we
don't have any evos that have given us a
99 rated card at the end of it. Unless I
forget forgotten one. We've gotten 98s
as the highest rated cards with stat
upgrades through evolutions. That's the
only way EA could do a paid EVO anymore
because fifth play style pluses are
becoming free through the play style
plus lab and stuff like that. And what's
next? 99 rated. Really, I think that's
what they have to do today. So hopefully
we do get a 99 rated evolution. I don't
know if it's going to be multiple 99
overall stats like individually stats on
the card like 99 passing and dribble or
pace and shooting or something like
that. It will depend on the position I'm
sure. But I hope that is a part of
content today as well. Of course, it's a
Friday, so that means we're going to get
multiple evolutions. We'll get multiple
SBC's. And we'll get token store rewards
that are refreshing as well. The token
store actually in terms of our weekly
limit, I didn't notice this yesterday
because I was assuming that it was going
to be today because footies tokens, the
weekly limit refreshes or refreshed on
Fridays, but pre-season tokens refreshed
yesterday at Division Rivals rewards. So
EA went back to the same time frame as
they did in Festival of Football, but we
will be getting new cards. As you can
see, the countdown timer in here in the
token store is counting down towards
content today. And some of these players
who have been leaked, again, not the
right card designs, but some of the
players here have been leaked to be in
SBC/Objective/the
token store upcoming today as well.
Also, we'll have foot champs rewards
that'll refresh inside of the token
store, too. So, if you're playing champs
for the player picks, for the packs, for
the players themselves, that should be
refreshing today as well. Now, also as a
part of this, it sounds like we are
getting some retro FIFA designs that are
coming back. I just saw some pack code
where the FIFA 18, 19, and 20 foot
birthday card designs were added to the
code. I don't know if there's going to
be any more that'll be incoming, but
that's kind of something to watch out
for. And I think we should get a new
live event today as well as a part of
this promo. The daily knockout
tournament is going to expire and
there's no live event that is out at the
moment. So there's no live event tab,
but I would 100% expect there to be some
sort of live event today. So today's
promo is all about these old cards
getting refreshed with new stats. An
absolutely insane
number of cards in packs. And probably
EA is going to find some way to try to
sell some money with this. Try to make
some money. Try to sell some packs. I'm
sure they're going to drop some pretty
crazy packs in the store and stuff like
that. But hey, if it's going to give us
all chances for 99. Wait, okay, that
made me think I had a 99 Sophia Wilson
right there for a second. But that is
Fifer. We still are on two 999s and I'm
very lucky to have two of them. I will
say that. But that kind of threw me off
there for a second. Anyways, um yeah,
that's kind of the promo and the way
that it looks today. I find it
interesting. I find it intriguing, but
I'm super curious to see how it looks.
It just sounds like it might be a fun
time with all those cards and packs and
if we're able to evo all of them as
well. We'll find out today. So, drop by
the stream at content. Now, also today
as a part of content, we are looking
ahead to FC27 a little bit because
you've seen probably all of these tweets
about the different ratings for the
clubs and for the players. Well, that's
because the full database comes out
today for FC27, right? We've got the
biggest upgrades in FC27. Diamande a
plus 18. Pstra with a plus 17 from his
bronze card up to a low rated gold. But
all of it is going to be um eligible for
us to search in and out of. The database
is live today. We get to see and search
through all the stats for every player
added to FC27 in terms of the ratings
that drops today. But again, one of the
biggest parts of what's dropping today
is the voting. Right. Today we get the
ratings database and we can select the
vote button beside a player of your
choosing for a player that we think
should be in the destined for glory
promo which is the first promo of FC27.
It is a live promo guys. These cards
will be upgrading and you can vote more
than once. It says yes your vote help
shapes the squad. Um every player in the
ratings database is eligible to receive
votes. There is no limit for votes. Vote
for as many players as you believe will
define the season. So, voting opens up
today and it ends on September 10th. It
says community votes will help shape the
final squad alongside EA's selection
process. So, I don't know if there's
anybody I I think the community should
come together and like go crazy and vote
on a certain card. And if I had to
nominate one card for that, like this is
kind of like your who got a very
underrated card that needs an upgrade or
whose stats got butchered that actually
uh should not have been taken down that
much. I think Luis Diaz is that guy with
that pace deduction from 88 pace to 82.
I feel like he should be voted on in
this promo. I'll be voting for him for
sure. I wonder if the community wants to
come together as Cristiano Ronaldo is so
rated and or so low rated and maybe try
to get him an upgrade for this first
promo of SC27 because the bro got minus
9 pace and he's now 84 rated. Still has
88 shooting, but like maybe maybe that's
going to be a card a lot of people vote
on today. That's going to be the fun
part of it. And of course, we'll have to
see if we do let's say the community
comes together and votes on like one
card like crazy. then, you know, would
that card actually get into the promo?
We'd actually have to go and see if that
were to happen. But that's a cool hidden
aspect of this new promo. Last thing I
want to mention, guys, market. The
market's going to get absolutely cooked
today because of what is coming out, at
least it sounds like. R9 is still 9
million coins, but if we're going to
have 500 special cards in packs, the
ability to customize them in terms of
their play styles, you're not going to
need to buy anybody right now on this
game. And a lot of these cards like the
foot birthday icons are not going to
even be customizable um because they're
not in the first place, right? Regular
footies are. So I think that market is
going to drop a good bit and I'm really
curious to see if like any of the 99
rated from the World Cup winner Spain
team get re-released as a part of the
best of that come packs as well. But
these cards have been dropping in price.
That's to be expected is the endgame.
It's the last couple of weeks of the
year and we will be streaming it live
today on Friday. So make sure you come
by. I'm gonna try to build up as many 85
by10s as I can because I've got a bunch
of exchanges I need to rinse, repeat,
and build up a huge set of 85 by10 so
that I'm ready to go today to try to get
some more 99s in the club. Interesting
twist on the endgame promo today, guys.
Let me know what you think down below in
the comments and I will see you in the
stream today. Let's have a good Friday.
Oh, we're also doing sub giveaways in
the Twitch chat today. It will be sub
only giveaways. We've done a bunch of
other giveaways. We've given out like I
don't even know. I had the web page or
the document pulled up with how many

given away. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. We're
going to do a few more today for subs in
the Twitch chat um and the YouTube chat
