EA FC 25 Slow it Down Evolution guide: Best players to use, all upgrades, requirements, and more

EA Sports has released the EA FC 25 Slow it Down Evolution during the Total Rush promo in Ultimate Team, allowing gamers to upgrade slow defenders and make them usable on the virtual pitch. This is also a free EVO and does not require any coins or FC points for the upgrades to be unlocked.

The Forward Fortification EVO was the first such inclusion of the Total Rush promo, but gamers were disappointed by the upgrades on offer. The EA FC 25 Slow it Down Evolution is a significant improvement, as it offers the most important attribute in the game: pace. It also provides your chosen defender with two additional PlayStyles and boosts to their dribbling and shooting.
