EA Sports released the Evolutions: The Octopus in EA Sports FC 25 during the Early Access.
Ultimate Team Evolutions is a powerful new system that changes how you think about and build up your squad. For the first time, you’ll be able to improve and customise players from your Club. You can take your favourite lower-rated players from any Club and level them up, as well as tweak and customise your top players by adding skill moves, changing work rates and weak foot upgrades as a few examples.
Bring a player closer to the heroic strength of Blaise Matuidi! Enhance his Pace, Defense and Physicality, including a CDM Holding++ upgrade, to become a feared defensive powerhouse.
