The EA FC 25 Title Update 9 is coming to Ultimate Team soon, it's going to introduce new features and address many bugs.

This update won't have any gameplay changes, as EA FC is happy with the state of the game and the overflowing positive feedback the Gameplay Refresh Update received from the community.

But that doesn't mean Title Update 9 isn't introducing major changes, as the update is finally increasing the Evolution slots to 2, adding a search filter for Ultimate Team, and presenting a new punishment for players who leave matches.

2 Evolution Slots Are Finally Coming

Celebrate EA FC 25 players, because your prayers have finally been answered! Title Update 9 is increasing the number of active Evolution slots to 2, something fans have been asking for a very long time.

Once Title Update 9 goes live, you will be able to evolve two players simultaneously, which is great. This will make it easier and faster to evolve all of the players in your squad.

You Quit You Lose

After years, we are finally getting a win when an opponent leaves the match with the game being tied. Well, if certain requirements are met of course.

For this to apply, 45 or more minutes need to have passed, the player who quit conceded a penalty kick or is one man down because of a red card.

There is also a limit to how many wins you can get when an opponent quits with the game tied. You can only get a total of five wins in 24 hours, with the total resetting at midnight every day. Once you have reached that total, an in-game pop-up message will appear informing you of that.

This is a big step in the right direction and is something players will be delighted to see. There is still room for improvement in this department, but at least this change gives us hope.

As mentioned above, Title Update 9 will also address plenty of bugs and other errors. All in all, this looks to be a solid update that continues the recent good trend the game is now.
