EA FC 24 Ultimate Team revolves around buying packs and selling the players inside, but those playing on a strict budget can restrict the amount they spend. Here’s how to set spending limits in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team.

EA FC 24 has arrived and the new season of Ultimate Team has begun. The popular mode has received a substantial overhaul thanks to a new-look menu, Evolution upgrades, and the debut of women’s players that can be used to create mixed squads.

As always, Ultimate Team is focused on signing the best players, but somewhere along the line fans will probably have to purchase packs from the store, using either coins or FC Points. Luckily, those who don’t want to get carried away can put some barriers in place to cap their spending.

Here’s how to set pack and FC Point limits in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team.

From here, you can decide on the maximum number of packs or FC Points you want to be able to buy each week. Every time you’re about to meet the quota, a message will appear reminding you of the limit you set.

Using the same menu, fans can also restrict the number of matches they play per week, in case they’re worried about sinking too much time into the mode as well as money. These settings can be adjusted at any time, so feel free to tweak them throughout the year.
