EA Sports FC Mobile

The player begins by creating a personal team, in which the players correspond to real players whether present or past. Players are obtained by competing in and completing daily quests, games, or events, or can be purchased on the transfer market, exchange market, or in-game store. Alongside these ways of obtaining players; the in-game currency of coins, gems, and seasonal tokens can all also be obtained, which can be spent in the previously mentioned markets. The personal team is used for PvP matches in Division Rivals and some Live Events. Other Live Event matches and Tournament matches have the player use a real team to play.

There are different types of Division Rivals matches, with them being VS Attack, Head to Head, and Manager Mode.

VS Attack

The game has a "VS Attack" mode, better known as VSA, in which players play the different offensive stages of a match only, and the difficulty level of the chances is decided by the team OVR. The VS Attack mode features an asynchronous turn-based multiplayer. Apart from VS Attack, there are also other Division Rivals multiplayer gamemodes, being Head to Head and Manager Mode.

Head to Head

Head to Head, or more commonly known as H2H, is a PVP match in which a player plays a full 90-minute match. However, the time is sped up, so fulltime will take about six to eight minutes. If the score is tied by the end of the match, the game will not go into extra time. The only gamemode where it is possible to go into extra time is when the player is playing against the AI or another player in Tournaments or PVP.

Manager Mode

Manager Mode(MM) is a gamemode where the AI will play against each other instead of the player manually controlling the players on the pitch. The idea of MM is more focused on tactics than skill.

As a reward for playing the match, the player will receive Universal Tokens depending on the results of the match. In VSA, the number of fans changes. In H2H, the number of cups changes, and in MM the number of points changes.

VS Friends

There is also another section called VS Friends, where the player can play a VSA or H2H match against a friend.

As the name suggests, there are different divisions in Division Rivals. This is so as to split the players of different levels of gamelplay. When the player reaches a certain number of "fans", cups or points, the division will increase. Every 28 days, the divisions will reset.

The game also features Live Events themed on recent real world events, as well as mini games based on skills such as shooting, passing, dribbling and goalkeeping. Examples of events that are based on happenings in the real world:

• UEFA Champions League (since FIFA Mobile 19),

In November 2022, FIFA Mobile 23 (the final season until the game was changed as EA Sports FC Mobile) was released as a season update of FIFA Mobile 22, with several changes such as Advanced Passing and the Squads would not be reset after season update. FIFA Mobile 23 was the first and only version that featured the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament mode.

In 2023, the Chinese, Japanese and Korean version had another update in terms of gameplay graphics, which later were adopted to the successor EA Sports FC Mobile.

UTOTS stands for Ultimate Team Of The Season, featuring the best players out of the main Team Of The Season in every top 5 European leagues.

On June 13, 2023, there was a glitch that affected a pack in the new UTOTS event. Instead of the pack having a very small chance of containing one of the UTOTS players and hundreds of millions of coins, it was guaranteed to contain those rewards. Although the glitch was patched in about an hour, the market was flooded with coins and people had the best teams in the game. EA responded by giving everyone who didn't open a glitched pack one UTOTS player and TOTS player. EA also shut down the market for multiple hours. Eventually, all players who used the glitch had their coins reset to 200M.

In 2023, EA Sports FC Mobile succeeded the FIFA Mobile game series in the launch of EA Sports FC Mobile 24 on 21 September for the Chinese version, 22 September for the Korean version, 23 September for the Japanese version, and 25 September for the global version.
