Division Rivals has never been a game for the weak of heart, as players must travel far to advance to the top levels. But with FC 25, EA aimed to up the difficulty of that task.
FC 25’s Rush and Live Seasons game modes are designed with casual gamers in52.mind. Conversely, when competing against elite opponents, Champions and Rivals test players’ mettle.
In order to foster a competitive spirit, EA increased the difficulty of qualifying and placing higher in the Champions Finals. With Rivals, the development team used a similar strategy and added a few tweaks to increase the game’s overall difficulty.

A summary of the key elements in FC 25 Division Rivals can be found here.
Accolades & Levels
The Rivals rewards system is modified by FC 25, increasing the minimum number of wins from three to five for weekly prizes and from seven to fifteen for improved weekly awards. Additionally, this title uses a wins system rather than a point system, 1. of each week’s drawings will be added to your progress.
All wins are worth three points, draws are for one point, and losses don’t award any points. Reward points are awarded to players according to their rank and position in their division.
Thus far, EA has only disclosed awards for the Elite Division prizes.

Lega3.y Division Allocation
Your highest Division from FC 24 is used to determine your starting Division in FC 25 Rivals. Because of this, players with lower skill levels won’t have to worry about facing tough competition straight away, and players with higher ability levels will receive their prizes more quickly.
This chart shows the starting positions for each person.
Here is a chart of where everyone will start.

Players moving from another platform must do it on the same EA Account in order for the Division Rank to transfer across, according to a warning from EA.
Checks and Delegations
Because there are fewer checkpoints and relegation allows players to tumble down a Division following a poor run of play, rivals will be more difficult to overcome in FC 25.
There won’t be any checkpoints in Divisions 1 or 2, and losing a match at the start of a Division will result in relegation to the conclusion of the preceding Division. You cannot be demoted until the conclusion of the current season if you have advanced to the Elite Division.
There won’t be as many checkpoints in each division in the interim because in FC 24, there were times when players would become trapped due to intense competition.
