A NEW Promo For The End Game?

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video introduces a significant shift in the endgame content for FC26, replacing the traditional post-Footies promo with a new event called "Ultimate Rewind." This initiative aims to refresh popular players from earlier in the season by granting them super high-rated cards, similar to how Ultimate Team handled special events in College Football 26. The host discusses recent Wednesday content, including a free evolution for center backs that offers five play style pluses but may not be optimal for all builds, and a return of a FIFA Legend dynamic featuring Enkuku. Additionally, the video covers the performance of high-value packs in the store, noting that despite being 98-plus guaranteed, they yielded very few 99-rated cards, which subsequently caused a noticeable drop in market prices for various tradable items like Nico Williams and World Cup winners. A major focus of the discussion is the upcoming "Ultimate Rewind" promo, which is expected to feature leaked names such as Usman Dembele and potentially re-release iconic players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at 99 overall ratings. The host analyzes whether this will be a simple re-release of existing card designs with updated stats or if EA will introduce new artwork, expressing hope for unique content that captures the nostalgia of the game's early weeks. There is also speculation about specific SBCs, including one for Laya and another involving new transfers, while addressing community questions regarding the inclusion of icons and players from specific clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich in the upcoming event. Finally, the host outlines the daily activities for Thursday, emphasizing that it will be a slower day for Special Points (SP) compared to Friday, which is when the full ratings database and new preseason completionist objectives will refresh. While there are no major pack rewards today, viewers are encouraged to engage in career modes and complete weekly objectives to progress toward FC27 rewards. The video concludes with an exciting plan to play FIFA 15 on stream as a nostalgic throwback and a reminder about the expiring Footies Exchange packs, urging players to utilize them before they potentially disappear if EA does not refresh the repeatable provision.

Hey guys, it's Nate aka the foot accountant. Welcome back to the channel. EA is actually switching things up for the very end of FC26 as the promo that we normally get after footies isn't next. Instead, it is something new. And that new promo is called Ultimate Rewind. But what does that even mean? We've got some of the answers to discuss today and even some of the names that are coming in this promo and confirmation of 99 rated SBC's finally coming back. We're going to talk about all that today, but plus it is a Thursday of content, which means we're going to be getting some muchneeded SP to progress in the season pass towards level 30, which of course gives us FC27 rewards. Let's talk about it all. Guys, if you're excited for this one, drop a thumbs up with the video. Hype the video and subscribe if you are new. Now, let's look over yesterday's content on Wednesday really quick. It won't take us long cuz there wasn't much. First of all, we have a free evolution that is not as good as the goalkeeper evo that we had two days ago. But this one boosts up center back stats, including pace, defense, physical, and it does give us five play style pluses. But if you already have quickstep, it'll give you rapid, which is what you don't want on a center back. Now, maybe for some EVO chains, this does end up working out pretty good for you, but for at least the first couple cards it looked at here, it doesn't look that great. It does give a nice quick step plus boost first for the fifth play style plus, which is nice. So, like for Dan Burn here, it gives him a defensive and physical boost and a pace boost there. Not amazing, but it's a free EVO and it goes does give you five play style pluses. Now, yesterday's SBC's brought back kind of a FIFA legend. Like EA missed an opportunity here to bring back one of our favorite dynamics of all time, the Enkunkuh blowing the balloon dynamic that he had on his foot birthday card. He had a bunch of cards. What was that like FIFA 22 or FIFA 23 where he had so many specials? He absolutely cooked that year at Leipzig. He got so many cards. But this one here is not quite as cooking as those cards were. 97 rated a cuckoo, five star, fivestar. He's got the positions. He's got decent stats. He is evolvable some in some ways because he is 97 rated. Needs a little bit of a stat boost for pace, shooting, passing probably at this stage of the game, but he is cheap and easy to complete. Now, also yesterday, we had the footies team four one of three player pick, which we can do three times repeatable every couple of days. Now, I got this one done. I didn't get anybody higher than an a 97, I believe, inside of it, but it is worth trying cuz it's one squad. It's very simple and easy to do. That is going to refresh in a couple days. But arguably the biggest part of content yesterday was in the store. And guys, we never love talking about the store that much, especially when it's the first chance that we have of a 98 plus guaranteed pack. But that is what EA did yesterday trying to make that endgame dough with a 575,000 coin pack. Now I opened it twice. Uh I tweeted about this as well, but we opened a whole bunch. Check the Tik Tok, checked the Instagram. We posted some clips of us opening these yesterday. They weren't that good. Like it's a 98 plus pack. You would think that the 99s would pop out of this every so often. We probably opened darn near like 20 of these on the live stream yesterday via SharePlays. And I think we saw in total $3.99. Like it it was not a great drop rate for the 99 rated cards. Now, of course, if you have some coins in this endgame period and you want to send it, that is a chance to do so. But I would not think that that is a good place to put coins right now because I wouldn't expect to get anything big, but it's the endgame. So, if you want to have fun, go have some fun. That did drop the market though. I know market talk in late August, but these cards from team four of footies did drop and so did a lot of other prices like the 99 rated World Cup winner Spanish cards. That oars ball I sold for 920,000 coins two days ago. This Nico Williams is 830K. I sold him for 1.17 literally yesterday and he's down a whole bunch. But with what is upcoming, I wouldn't really be holding on to any cards tradable. And if you're looking to buy somebody, I'm going to tell you to buy it and use it. But if you're a little careful in the market still and don't want to lose coins, well, I think this next promo might shake things up a bit. And let's talk about that because we had a glimpse into maybe what this next promo is going to be because a couple days ago they updated our next gauntlet in game and they called it the ultimate rewind gauntlet. But that was confirmed yesterday after the leaks came out about two players and a couple more in the comments of these tweets that are coming to this brand new Ultimate Rewind promo. And first, I just want to talk about what in the world is this? Because we're in the middle of the pre-season, 10th season of this game that'll take us to the very end. Usually, we have footies and then preseason comes next and it kind of leads us right into FC 27, the next FC. Well, that's the season, but that is not going to be the name of the promo that we get this Friday. Now, this promo called Ultimate Rewind. I did some searching. Some of you guys in the chat yesterday mentioned this is not a new promo for EA because it was a promo that featured in College Football 26. And if you read the description here, I think it gives us some insight into what this promo is going to look like. Run it back with all new 99 overall player items with some of the season's best and most popular players in Ultimate Team. So basically what they did in college football was they took players that were really popular at the beginning of the year in that cycle and they gave them super high rated cards for the endgame cycle basically refreshed earlier promo cards. Now as we looked at this Dembele is the first card that has been leaked and there's a whole bunch of other cards that we're going to talk about and some names that are going to be in this promo. But right away I started thinking who is an early game card that would be pretty good for this. Nico Williams. I know he already has a 99 rated card, but this card was like the dude at the beginning of the game. Look at his price. He was like 700 to a million coins up until Black Friday. He was 1 million coins and then dropped off an absolute cliff. You had some other cards like this Lionel Messi. Maybe this is the way EA is going to get a Lionel Messi 99 and a Chris Shannon Ronaldo 99 rated card in the endgame. We've had 99 rated footies or at least some sort of 99 card for Messi or Ronaldo, specifically Messi, for a number of years in a row and right now we're not on track to have that because all we have is a 98 Messi from the World Cup. So maybe that's the way that EA is going to try to get some of these cards in here. But the bottom line is that SBC's are going to look great for this promo too. And we have one leaked already. But let me get into more of the names. Usman Dembele is of course leaked. That is one of the first names that is coming out here. Somebody asked about ple foot police says I don't have icons in this promo, but we may get a fire icon rewind SBC. Um, probably next week. He's not in a rush to leak it. What is Rewind? It's a lot like preseason. Any United players or icons? Yes. Any Madrid players? Trent, he's in the token store. This This league is crazy to me. Salah is the question. He is set to come as a token reward on the 11th of September, but these early leagues take them is not guaranteed. That is so far away. You're I don't care what's coming out on the 11th of September. All I'm going to care about is FC 27. That is a week before the game drops. That's crazy that he knows that card is going to be coming out then. That is absolutely wild. Chelsea is going to have an SBC, but it's in two weeks. Also crazy. Arsenal is going to have a Cali objective and little in the promo. Barcelona is going to have Canelo a women's bombazo which I think is the next league we're going to talk about and then two past player SBC's and he gets two bombazos for that there. So he's kind of you know not telling all the names that are going to be in this promo but here's the Barcelona player that I think he was mentioning there. Caroline Graham Hansen. I was trying to think what card at the beginning of FC 26 did she have that was like super popular and OP that would kind of grant her this 99 rated. This is the only promo card that she did have apart from the gold. I mean, the rest of these were from later in the year. I don't remember this card being super popular. I just remember it being super expensive. 2.7 million coins. Maybe they're referring to her gold card. I mean, her gold card was pretty good, but I think it was more overpowered in FC25. And one thing that I'm wondering with this promo is what's the card design going to be? Are they going to keep with the footies card design because it does give a chem boost and it is kind of the endgame card design or are they going to give us a new one? We haven't seen any new car designs added to the code just yet. I mean, it'd be cool if it was a new one, but we'll see how maybe lazy is the best word to describe EA is going to be in this endgame time frame. Now, let me read through a few more of these tweets here. Obviously, the leakers aren't super excited about this promo because they just keep talking about FC27 ratings and not about what is coming out in this Ultimate Rewind promo. Bon Mati was the question. I don't have her. There is no footies team five guys. On the footies website, it says four weeks. So, that is why we're very certain that footies is going to be ending again. The only question I have is, is the card design going to be continuing through any Liverpool cards? He said Trent PAX promo or only SBC objective. I think all but I am not 100% sure. Hansen I think is a promo. That's an interesting question as well because primarily in the past preseason has been a promo where we just get all other special cards re-released in packs. They'll put the footies cards back into packs and I was thinking that since we haven't had any of the World Cup cards like the PTGs and the summer stars and stuff like that, I figured we'd start getting these cards in packs as well. But it looks like it's going to be a re-release of special cards in pack still maybe. Plus new additional ultimate rewind cards. That's something to kind of watch out for. Any Bayern player? He says yes. Any player from Argentina? He says SBC. That's all that we've heard about that. Now speaking of SBC's, this is the biggest leak in terms of an SBC that we have right now. More 99 SBC's are coming soon. Laya is this week, probably Friday or Saturday. the big marquee promo player for this SBC or for the for this SBC for the promo. He says new transfers next week as well. This is also part of the preseason promo that we normally see is transferred players getting cards at their new clubs. That's why I really wonder what kind of card design we're going to have. I don't think this is official. I think that is a concept. But a 99 layout is going to be an SBC this week. And that makes me think of this card, this screen layout. I mean, he was even popular later on in the year. Very popular early on. I mean, this dude was 1.2 mil up to 1.6 before Black Friday happened. Big crash into team of the year into to Black Friday and then into team of the year through December. And then, you know, this happens. He gets into evolutions and his card is not supplied at all in packs goes crazy. Then he gets re-released and they do the whole EVO thing where you can take a card that was untradeable and make it tradable again from Evolutions if it was originally tradable and his price absolutely crashes. But nonetheless, this was one of the crazy overpowered cards early in FC26. So I wonder if it's going to be a promo card of Rafa Liao with that same dynamic, just a new endgame card design. That's what I'm really wondering. kind of going off of the name, running it back with 99 items for the season's best and most popular players, ultimate rewind. Are they literally just going to keep the same dynamic images, change the card type in the stats, and run those cards back as a promo? Again, you could maybe label that as a little bit lazy, but that's kind of what this sounds like. So, I'd watch out for more leaks today because this is looking a little more interesting than preseason in my opinion. It has some of the same aspects of preseason with the transfer cards and 99 rated SBCs and stuff like that, but really that is the motivation for me. Give me 99 rated player SBCs that are cool, that are unique, that makes the grind and the craft a little bit more worth doing. And also, I mean, EA, the closer that we get to the end, like can you turn that back wake up pack weight up a little bit? Because I know that I've packed two 999s and I'm very, very lucky to say that I have been able to do that. But goodness me, it is it is rough out here still when it doesn't feel like the pack weight has really changed at all. And people are now at this stage with the unlimited pack grind just wanting to get 99 rated. So let me know in the comments what you think about Ultimate Rewind there. Hopefully there's some other cool aspects this as well. I mean if EA are really trying to release some good content, Ultimate Rewind, we love looking back and we love nostalgia. Like look at what's happening with all the old FIFAs right now. I know that it's not quite nostalgia because it was only earlier on in the year, but just kind of trip down memory lane. Take us back to some of the parts of FC26 at the very beginning of the game when it was at its best in this first couple of weeks and the month. Like take us back to some of that. Maybe some other forms of content that they could refresh. I'm intrigued. This sounds interesting because it is new, never seen before. So, we'll have to see how it is delivered. Now, of course, let's bring it back to what's happening today. We're really not expecting too much today on Thursday. It is the last day though before we get the full ratings database and EA's out there posting ratings. But guys, it's basically all been leaked. There's even an app, the foot scoreboard app that I mentioned yesterday. If you guys do want to look at some of the official Skill Move Weak Foot, I guess it's technically a leak. It's not official, but Skill Move Weakfoot stuff like that, you can search in there. That's how some of the leakers right now are tweeting about the fastest cards in FC27. You can go on the foot scoreboard app and look through some of those ratings. This one we got to talk about real quick. Huge upgrade for Diamande. I mean, he's the same rating as Faren Torres. That's maybe a little bit crazy in my eyes. Huge upgrade there for him. Big move, of course. Big big move to Real Madrid, but still pretty crazy. And then if we're going to talk about ratings, we got to at least mention this. RIP Chris Jenner Ronaldo's fourstar fourstar now and he's got 67 pace. He did not get an upgrade like Messi and Modris did. Some of the older guys getting upgrades. Not Ronaldo. He is down to 84 rated. He will be evolvable even sooner than ever, but he still maintains his ADHD shooting on that card. Really, really crazy to see that. Now, talking about today's content, other than the rating leaks and rating official posts that EA will probably be putting out, we got to look for SP. It's been a slow start to the season. And I feel like I'm ahead from where I normally am because of some of the gameplay that I've been doing and the bonus SP that you do get for being like what was it? Level two. You get a bit of a jump start there in the premium pass, but we should get some SP today. The weekly objectives should refresh and then the daily objectives too. Also, if you're looking to level up, make sure you play manager career, player career clubs, if you want to put that grind in, the opportunity is there for you uh to level up there because those are going to be refreshing. also today. But again, it's been a slow roll for SP. That's why I want to mention that. One thing that's not happening today is we're not getting one of these new preseason completionist objectives. In the last season, these reset on Thursdays like when we had the Estava, the Leonard Carl, the Krooppy, the Ken Uzen during footies. These are going to actually refresh on Fridays for preseason. So, we're not getting Katina Marcario today. And we're not getting more packs to potentially earn for FC27 today. That'll be tomorrow on Friday. But other than that, today what I would be expecting is the SP, a player SBC and Evolution, and that is probably about it. We've had, like I've said, some good EVOs on Thursdays, but I wouldn't be expecting too much today as we do get a new promo tomorrow. So, definitely keep an eye out for the least. We'll be covering them and talking about them in the stream today. And also guys, I'm hoping to really get nostalgic today and throw it back and actually play on stream the first FIFA that I ever laid eyes on and played. Yes, we're going back 11 almost 12 years to the first FIFA that I ever played. Hopefully today on stream, if you haven't seen it kind of blowing up on Twitter and on socials recently, FIFA 15 has been opened up. We're going to give it a go today. Hopefully the servers are allowing it. There's a whole bunch of people that are getting on it, but we are going to see if we can play that today and really throw it back to some of the awesome awesome times back on that game. It's just going to be a nostalgia core memory unlock type of moment. So, make sure you come to the stream today for that. I'm trying to get a footies card at least in a couple of packs here. I also need to rinse my club because I've got a very full club, a lot of dupes at the moment, and I've got a lot of uh exchange packs. Ooh, actually, that's the last thing I got to discuss with you guys today. I've got 59 of these footies exchange packs that are here today. This SBC is set to expire. I think just like last week, it should refresh. But if EA do not refresh the repeatable footies provisions player pack, that will really hurt the grind and kind of make it no longer unlimited repeatable. That pack is like key to making it unlimited repeatable. So, I hope it just refreshes this week. I would expect that it would, but you never know with the esports. So, we will have to see. All right, last 85 by 10 and I'm out. We do get a footy. So, the the dream of a 99 still exists here for this pack. It's going to be Troy Parrot, who I believe just moved to La Liga and then an AC Milan player. Who is Oh, Dwinter. Dwinter Leo. Not in this promo. Next promo for him. Anyway guys, that's the video for me. If you did enjoy it, drop a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. And I will see you in a stream today. It's been Nate for the count. See you there. Peace
