The Road to the Knockouts (RTTK) card upgrades in EA Sports FC 24 are a dynamic and exciting feature that allows players to witness their favorite footballers’ cards evolve throughout the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League group stages. Here’s a breakdown of how they work:
Eligibility:
RTTK cards are special versions of players from teams participating in the aforementioned European competitions.
They have boosted stats compared to their base cards.
Upgrade Potential:
Each RTTK card has two potential upgrade opportunities:
One Win Upgrade: If the player’s team wins two of their remaining group stage matches, the card gets a +1 Overall Rating boost.
Knockout Stage Upgrade: If the player’s team qualifies for the knockout stages (round of 16 onwards) in their respective competition, the card receives another +1 Overall Rating boost.
Upgrade Timing:
Upgrades are applied at the end of each week during the group stage, after all matchday matches have been completed.
If a team qualifies for the knockout stages during their final group stage match, the upgrade is applied immediately.
Current Status:
As of today, October 27, 2023, the first round of upgrades has already been applied for players who met the one-win criteria.
The next batch of upgrades will come after the next set of group stage matches, potentially on November 7th/8th for the Champions League and November 9th for the Europa League and Europa Conference League.
