Rewards Analysis and Season Progress
The primary reward for finishing this set is a significant amount of SP. Unlike traditional objectives that might offer specific players or vanity items, the Pre-Season SP Chase is purely focused on helping you unlock higher tiers in the Season Pass. Reaching these tiers often provides high-value rewards such as 85+ x10 Packs or even legendary icons that have dominated football history. For those looking to maximize their efficiency, this objective is a must-complete as it stacks perfectly with daily and weekly gameplay.
Tips for Completing Challenges Fast
- Combine tasks in Squad Battles: You can easily knock out the 'Score 5' and 'Assist 5' requirements in a single Semi-Pro match.
- Play Friendlies for 'Play 15': If you find Rivals too competitive, use the Live Ultimate Team Friendlies mode to accumulate games played quickly.
- Check Daily SBCs: The 'Complete 7' requirement refers to SBCs; finishing Bronze or Silver upgrades is a cheap and efficient way to tick this off.
