How To Complete Maradona’s Evolution Easy & Fast
To complete Maradona’s Evolution – whether Diego’s Dream or Pibe de Oro – the fastest and best method is to play Squad Battles. This mode allows you to compete against AI opponents, making it easier to complete objectives while also securing wins, which are required for the Evolution challenge. Additionally, each victory earns points that contribute toward unlocking rewards, often including players from ongoing promotional events at the time of play.
Is EA Sports FC 25’s Maradona Pibe de Oro Evolution Worth Completing?
Maradona’s Pibe de Oro Evolution in EA FC 25 makes him an all-round option, allowing him to be effective in the position you choose to place him on the pitch. However, this Evolution requires a significant investment – either 500,000 Coins or 1,000 FC Points – which might not be necessary if you prefer to progress without spending additional in-game currency. Additionally, for the same price, you could acquire other players to strengthen different areas of your squad.
If you find that the Finesse Shot PlayStyle+, along with the slight stat boosts – including an additional Weak Foot star – are worth the cost, the Pibe de Oro Evolution could be a valuable upgrade. It offers a well-rounded attacking midfielder or striker who can pair with Zidane’s Icon Era TOTY card for overall effectiveness and easy wins.
