All upgrades for Intro to Stat Limits Evolution in EA FC 25

Whichever player you choose will receive boosts to their attacking stats in EA FC 25, so it’s best not to choose a defensive player. Instead, find an attacker who can benefit most from the boost to Skill Moves, overall rating, shooting, and dribbling. The full upgrades are below.

Overall+1
Shooting+3 (Max. 86)
Skill Moves+1 Star (Max. 3 Stars)
Dribbling+2 (Max. 87)

The new stat limits that apply to Evolutions are shown in this introduction, with restrictions to the maximum shooting, skill moves, and dribbling stats. While this doesn’t block you from using players with a higher stat, the upgrade will stop if it reaches the figures mentioned above.

All challenges for Intro to Stat Limits Evolution in EA FC 25

As the Intro to Stat Limits Evolution introduces the feature, the requirements to complete the two sets of upgrades are easy. It should take you around five matches to fully upgrade the player.

Level OnePlay three matches in Rush, Rivals, or Squad Battles on minimum Semi-Pro difficulty using your active EVO player in game.
Level TwoWin two matches in Rush, Rivals, or Squad Battles on minimum Semi-Pro difficulty using your active EVO player in game.

Some great players meet the requirements for the Intro to Stat Limits Evolution, with upgrades giving Savinho, Melvine Malard, Darwin Nunez, Michael Olise, and Victor Boniface all a decent boost.

However, finding a player with less than three-star skill moves who can benefit from the Evolution is more challenging, particularly if you want to apply the Evolution to an attacking player, as the majority will already have at least three-star skill moves. Honestly, it’s best to ignore this part of the upgrade.

As the list of eligible players is so vast, look around your club at your favorite players and see if they fit the bill—just don’t do what I did and accidentally submit Alex Iwobi.
