Gameplay

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.


Division Rivals

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. 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 gameplay. When the player reaches a certain number of stars, the division will increase. Every 28 days, the divisions will reset. With VS Attack, Head to Head, and VS Attack, as of the 11th June 2025 a new Rivals update has changed the way the ranking system works. A new UI has been made, with loads of new features such as rewards. A brand new star ranking system has been introduced to make promotion more easy

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.
