The difference is that rather than completing specific objectives, the Mode Mastery cards have been added to the rewards inSquad Battles,Division Rivals, andFUT Champions. Depending on the rank you achieve in each mode, you’ll be awarded a Mode Mastery Pack mixed in with your regular weekly prizes.
For example, the FUT Champs rewards have been updated to award one pack to anyone who reaches four wins, two if you get nine wins, and three if you reach 13. Each of these packs will contain special MM items, which you’ll be able to submit into SBCs for improved items, just like Icon Swaps.
