Game Modes
Seasons/Co-op Seasons
So clicking into Seasons mode gives you the following tabs:- Seasons
- Co-op Seasons
- Leaderboards
- Play Match
- Play Cup Match (providing the cup window is open)
- Current Season
- History
The Play Match allows you to play your next match. It is three points for the win, one for the draw and zero for the loss. You start in division 10 and try to work up to division 1. For co-op there are 5 divisions. Your division progress from previous FIFAs carries over.
There you get your team select menu, where you will be able to change your team management options prior to searching for an opponent, your matchmaking settings (this allows you to play similarly starred teams e.g. 4.5 star against 4.5 star, or to play against only club or international teams, whether to play opponents with similar DNFs as your own or not, and whether to play against opponents with guests or no guests), and your XBox 360 Controller settings. You also get to choose your team and kit that you want to play with.
If the cup window is not open then you won't be able to select to Play Cup Match and you will instead see how many days or hours there are remaining until the next cup window opening. Once a cup window is open it stays open for three days.
The cups start with 16 teams matched up in knockout matches. The eight winners from those matches go through to the quarter-finals, then the winners go to the semi-finals and then the final. To win the cup you need to win four games in a row. If games end in a draw they are decided by extra time being played. If the scores are still level then it is a penalty shootout.
The cups you can enter will depend on the division that you are in.
| Division | Cup |
| Division 1 or 2 | Premier Cup |
| Division 3, 4 or 5 | Continental Cup |
| Division 6, 7 or 8 | EA Cup |
| Division 9 or 10 | EA Shield |
| All Divisions | Woman's International Cup |
So if you are in division 1 or 2 then you can play in any of the cups, whereas if you are in divisions 3, 4 or 5 then you can play all the cups except the Premier Cup.
You can enter the cup from the division above if you have purchased the Seasons Cup Unlock item from the EAS FC Catalogue (available at level 20 for 2,000 FCC).
Also, if you are coming near the end of the league season and it looks like you may not get promotion, or the title, then there are also some items you can purchase from the EAS FC Catalogue to help you extend your season by a game, or give you an win, or a draw.
The Current Season option shows your current division, your current form based on your last five results, your overall W-D-L record in that division so far, the division you are in and how you are currently doing together with the number of points required to avoid relegation to the division below (the red line), the number required for promotion (the green line) and the number of points needed for the title (the gold line). The points required for each division are as below:
| Division | Points to avoid relegation | Points for promotion | Points for title |
| Division 10 | No relegation | 9 | 12 |
| Division 9 | 5 | 10 | 13 |
| Division 8 | 8 | 12 | 15 |
| Division 7 | 8 | 14 | 17 |
