FIFA 21 Removes EA Sports Football Catalogue

FIFA 21 has ditched a traditional feature of older FIFA titles, the EA SPORTS Football Catalogue is no longer available to create a “more easily accessible” game.

According to EA Sports, players can still increase its EASFC level, earn Football Club Credits (FCC), and redeem items in previous FIFA versions that have this feature. In FIFA 21, items acquired via FCC has been redistributed to other areas of the game.
