After the FUT20 Special Event is before the FUT20 Special Event. The TOTSSF has just ended and EA Sports is already launching the next promo. This time it’s called FIFA 20 Summer Heat and it’s brand new this year. What is behind it and what can we expect? We have a few ideas.

Today, June 17th, the brand new FIFA 20 Summer Heat event starts. After the Team of the – Season So Far the next promo is waiting for us and it is represented in FUT20 for the first time this year. But what is behind it? We have a few ideas.

Update 19:17 o’clock: Summer Heat has started

FIFA 20 Summer Heat has started and just as we suspected, the new promo puts old familiar cards in the spotlight. Some of the strongest and most popular cards return for a short time. Most of them are determined by votes of the FIFA community.

On selected days, a FUT20 Player Pick Pack with three loan players will be given away upon login. The player you choose from them gets one vote. The player with the most votes gets a Squad Building Challenge with a much improved FUT20 Summer Heat card. EA Sports has explained how the whole thing works on their own homepage.

Tanguy Ndombele gets a Summer Heat SBC as a Fan Favorite. The card has an OVR of 93 and costs just under 150,000 coins.

Ferland Mendy of Real Madrid receives at launch – as already suspected – an upgrade version of his FUTmas-Kartem which can even be improved via Objectives. In the end, the left-back also convinces with an overall rating of 93.

Update from 19.06.: First voting started

The first FIFA 20 Summer Heat voting has started. When you log in to the FUT mode you can choose between three players who got a boost on their skill moves. You can choose between Ryan Kent, Luka Jovic and Musa.

Original message: What’s behind FIFA 20 Summer Heat?

What exactly FIFA 20 Summer Heat is, is still unclear, after all the promo celebrates its debut this year. Besides some announcement tweets and an info in the loading screen of FUT20, official information is scarce so far.

Unusual is especially the start time of the new promo: already on today, June 17, which is a Wednesday, it is supposed to start at 19:00. Normally FIFA promos start on a Friday, don’t they?

There are some theories what we can expect in FIFA 20 Summer Heat. However, the unusual start date and the latest update to the loading screen suggest that this is a smaller promo.

In the center are the symbols of previous FUT special cards, including:

• Flashbacks
• FUTmas cards
• Player Moments
• Ultimate Scream

FIFA 20 Summer Heat: Will the most popular cards return?

Based on the mid-week launch and the announcement image, players assume that the FIFA 20 Summer Heat event could bring back some of the most popular special cards from FUT 20 as an improved version.

For example, the Ultimate Scream card from the Halloween event could rise from center-back Piqué. At the time, it had an overall rating of 90, but it could now have an OVR of 92 or more.

It’s a similar story with the FUTmas cards from the Christmas promo. Who wouldn’t want an improved version of FUTmas Cavani or Mendy in their team? Also, some of the most popular Flashback and Player Moments SBCs might also return as part of Summer Heat.

Some FIFA fans even assume that EA Sports will take a cue from the Future Stars promo and offer some of the new cards as Objectives: Simple tasks will unlock the cards, which can then be further upgraded by completing matches and completing certain objectives.

What is behind FIFA 20 Summer Heat, we will find out tonight at 19:00 at the latest. It could be that this is the last promo of FIFA 20, because already on Friday the developer should officially unveil FIFA 21.

FIFA 23 WILL BE THE LAST PART OF THE GAME SERIES UNDER THIS NAME

FIFA 23 will be the last part of the game series to be released under the name of the world governing body and in collaboration with EA. For months the rumor mill was bubbling, now all this has been confirmed by the game makers EA in May 2022. The fact is that after almost 30 years of partnership between EA Sports and FIFA, the license agreement between the two parties will expire with the game FIFA 23.

Already with the launch of FIFA 22, Electronic Arts revealed the following in a blog post: There exists “the idea to rename our global EA Sports soccer games.” According to speculation, the world governing body FIFA has demanded double the amount for a continuation of the cooperation in new contract negotiations with EA. Exact figures have not been confirmed, but it is said to have been a sum in the billions for a total of ten more years.

So it is not surprising that the partnership of EA and FIFA ends with the upcoming game FIFA 23. In the past months it was to be read again and again that the game developers were to have been anyway increasingly dissatisfied with the partnership. EA is even said to have found FIFA to be a hindrance in the development of the games.
