EA explains why not all FIFA 21 progress can be transferred

EA has explained why not all of your 'FIFA 21' progress can be transferred from current generation consoles to next gen.

The studio is using a Dual Entitlement system to access free upgrades, which means gamers on PlayStation and Xbox can upgrade their copy with no extra cost.

However, not all progress will transfer, with Ultimate Team and Volta being the only modes which will be carried over.

For all other modes - including Online Seasons, Career Mode and Pro Clubs - the content is specific to the console you're playing on.

FIFA executive producer Aaron McHardy told Eurogamer: "The time required to make all modes transferable was better used to build new features and improvements across the entire game."

He added: "When we start developing for a new generation of consoles, there's ultimately some trade-offs we need to make.

"So we decided that the time required to make all modes transferable was better used to build new features and improvements across the entire game, along with addressing feedback from our players.

"Since both Volta and FUT are server-based modes it made sense for us to focus on them as a way for players to carry over their progression."
