Seasons Mode
[edit]
Seasons mode allows players to progress through an online league system by being pitted against players of a similar skill level. After the user chooses a real-world team to play as, an online player with similar skills and a similar star level team is found as an opponent.
The football player plays ten matches per season with a specific number of points required for promotion to the league above.
Ultimate Team
[edit]
FIFA Ultimate Team, commonly abbreviated to 'FUT', is an additional feature of FIFA 13. This game mode allows the player to build their own team from real world players, which they can then use to compete in tournaments and divisions over the internet. For each game completed, players earn coins to spend on improving their team.
Players and other items in this mode take the form of cards, which are obtained through buying packs or from buying directly from other players through the auction house. There are three different tiers of cards; bronze, silver and gold, indicating their quality (lowest being non-rare bronze, highest being rare gold). These cards can be obtained in two ways; buying packs or buying directly from other players. Player cards have an overall rating, which is an estimate of their overall in game quality.
The FIFA Ultimate team web app was released on 18 September 2012, allowing players to access their ultimate team from their computer and a variety of other devices, such as an iPhone app and on Android.
