FIFA 14 Ultimate Team Winter Upgrades is an excitement time of the season. EA has released 17 new winter upgrades cards on this second batch, the final one, including Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and Oscar. These new cards will replace the original ones on packs. If you have a regular card with the old overall it will not be updated.
Upgrades apply to new players found in packs from this point forward. Existing non-IF players in your Club will not receive an upgrade.
If an upgraded player already has one or more in-forms, all of his IFs will be upgraded respectively. If you already own the IF version of an upgraded player, your IF will be upgraded. However, if an upgraded player with a previous IF gets upgraded across Quality tiers (eg. Bronze to Silver), his IF will not be upgraded. Ex: Januzaj has been upgraded to a Silver, but his Bronze IF will stay Bronze. This preserves the value of the IF and ensures your Bronze and Silver squads aren’t negatively affected.

How come this applies to FUT only?
On Seasons mode, the players become better with the experience. In FUT they may be better only buying these new cards.
I have found that there’s no increase of in-game stats after applying chemistry cards to upgraded players（Pogba，Vidal）. Do you have same experience？
Many people have reported that to us.
We do not have enough personal experience to say if it is true or not but we think it may be.
