Ultimate Team will be a central spot of attraction in EA FC 24 when the game becomes globally available on September 29. There will be an early access period for all who buy the Ultimate Team edition, and a little over a month is left for the new release. Contrary to expectations based on the closed beta, the complete edition will have a centralized market in Ultimate Team.
The Ultimate Team market is arguably the most essential part of the game mode, as it's the main destination for buying and selling cards.

FIFA 23 was the first game ever upgraded to the current-gen on PC. However, the Ultimate Team market was kept separate for PC and consoles.

With EA FC 24, that will change as players on all platforms (except Nintendo Switch) will conduct their business in one central market.
This will be pretty interesting, given how cross-play works in FIFA 23. If the same feature is inherited, which seems likely, PS5/Xbox Series XlS players will be able to play with PC players, while those on PS4 and Xbox One will be able to play together.
