EA has secretly introduced a new FC 25 Ultimate Team feature that requires players to wait before entering the game mode. Here’s everything you need to know about the queue and how it works.
FC 25 Ultimate Team has had its fair share of issues during the Ultimate Edition period. Transfer Market prices skyrocketed after EA finally updated card prices that had been missing for days.
Additionally, players have also reported lag issues in the menus that have made buying cards on the transfer market or organizing their club a nightmare. Fortunately, there is a simple fix for this problem.
However, a new feature that forces players to wait before entering Ultimate Team won’t help ease those concerns about the game mode’s issues.
What is the warm-up screen in EA FC 25?
If you see a screen titled “Warm-up” when you try to enter Ultimate Team it means you have been placed in a queue.
Several online titles use a queue when the servers are too crowded. Players can see what position they are in the queue. Then, after queuing, you will be loaded into Ultimate Team.
It’s unclear exactly what position in the queue you need to be in before you can get access to Ultimate Team. Some players are worried that the wait will get even longer once FC 25 officially releases on September 27, as there’s already a queue reserved for Ultimate Edition owners only.
Players who don’t want to sit can exit and leave the queue. But for many, they’ll have to queue before entering. So far, users have only seen a queue for Ultimate Team, so it’s unclear if a similar system will be used for Clubs.
