There's doubt that Ultimate Team is the biggest, most lucrative game mode in FIFA, and that's likely going to be the case in EA Sports FC 24. Despite the brand new name for the series, EA did not forget it's most popular (and controversial) mode.

EA Sports recently announced the next wave of Heroes, which are UT cards celebrating retired athletes who made a special impact for their team, whether it was club or national. Heroes existed in FUT for some time now. However, only since FIFA 22 have they been stylized in the vein of Comic book heroes. FC 24 continues that tradition with a whole new set of players, including both men and women athletes.

EA Sports partnered with Marvel Entertainment to create some unique designs illustrated by artist J.L. Giles. Additionally, an upcoming Marvel Heroes comic book will feature these players in the issue, with unique descriptions or each.

This also marks the first time we've seen women football players from the UEFA Champions League included in the lineup of Heroes. Let's check out the EA Sports FC Heroes.

EA Sports FC 24 – How To Get Ultimate Team Heroes

Players can unlock an untradable hero in Ultimate Team by pre-ordering the game's Ultimate Edition by August 22nd. Do note that you won't actually receive the Hero until November 27th.

There's still plenty of time to think about it. Additionally, the Ultimate Edition grants players seven days of early access. So you can start playing the game on September 22nd, and receive your Hero item on November 27th.

Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) also potentially grant hero cards if/whenever they arrive to the game. Lastly, players can also purchase UT packs in hopes of receiving a hero card. It's also possible that EA Sports creates more opportunities to receive such cards throughout the game's lifespan.
