The Thunderstruck Mini Release 2 added several new dynamic player items to packs, expanding the roster of cards available during one of Ultimate Team’s most anticipated annual promos. These items follow the same upgrade path as the first drop, with potential boosts tied to real-world performances in the coming weeks.
Alongside the player release, EA rolled out new SBCs, including limited-time upgrades and player-specific challenges, giving fans more routes to improve their squads during the high-traffic weekend. Objectives and Flash Events were also updated, providing short-term reward paths and encouraging players to log in frequently.
The update arrives during a busy period for Ultimate Team, with regular weekly content—such as Wednesday’s Team of the Week—continuing uninterrupted. The broader FC 26 system updates introduced earlier this cycle, including expanded Evolutions, revamped competitions, and improved gameplay responsiveness, remain central to the current experience.
With the Thunderstruck program entering its peak, 30 November marks one of the most active content days of the season, delivering new items, challenges, and incentives for Ultimate Team players worldwide.
