EA FC 25 TOTY EVO Star 3 Evolution guide: Best players to use, all upgrades, requirements, and more

EA Sports has released two more EVOs in Ultimate Team, with the EA FC 25 TOTY EVO Star 3 Evolution being one of the latest installments in the set of six EVOs that allow gamers to build their own Team of the Year centre-back. This is a new addition this year, with the entire EVO chain being applied to the same player from start to finish.

Fans must complete the TOTY Cup objective to get their hands on both new EVOs. Previous TOTY EVO Star Evolutions allowed them to upgrade their defender's pace and dribbling, and the new ones give boosts to shooting and passing.

The EA FC 25 TOTY EVO Star 3 Evolution, in particular, upgrades the passing, with the Pinged Pass+ PlayStyle being up for grabs as well.
