GAMER ADVICE: FC25 Standard vs Ultimate Edition

[evtheria]

Hi! Hoping someone plays this a lot and can help me decide:

DP plays FIFA but just as a manager (he's not bothered with 'playing' the matches, if you understand me) and loves all the tactics/transfers/business etc side of it.

Is it worth buying the Ultimate Edition? I've looked at both product pages, then checked Reddit, but it honestly went over my head talking about getting currency and heroes, or something. I can't tell whether these extras are going to be great for DP or not.

Thank you!

PS. He plays on XBox, unsure if that affects it too.

I asked gamer DH for advice.
He said does DP play ultimate Team (a card player collection to add players and build your own team)? If he does, he’d probably use the Ultimate edition as you get extra card packs. If he likes to manage etc he would probably enjoy the Ultimate edition.

You can play Ultimate Team online and solo, if he plays solo the Ultimate edition is not as good but still playable.

Hope that helps!

Thank you @SugarCookieMonster and DH!

DP does play solo, didn't seem to play online as far as I know, but I'll have to somehow find out about the card thing... Your simplified answer has helped me, though. 🎄

If you want to check in yourself to keep the surprise:
Go onto the game, in the menu there should be the option for Ultimate Team.
If you can see a team name, he plays it.
If it shows you a tutorial to Ultimate Team, he hasn’t played it.
Good luck!
