UFL Season Stars

A new skin collection dedicated to players who shone during the 2024–2025 season.
The key feature of these skins is the addition of new situational skills, whose activation will be shown in the match interface (above the player's head).

New Skills (provided by UFL Season Stars skins only)

  • Ball Roll 4x4 – Enables quick ball rolls in all directions (an enhanced version of Ball Roll with full directional control).

  • Fast Low Finesse Shot – Allows for faster execution of a Finesse Shot if the user inputs no more than 30% shot power (i.e. a quick tap).

  • Fast Shot – Enables faster Basic Shots inside the penalty area.

  • Fast Feet GK – Allows the goalkeeper to move faster using the right stick.

  • Ball Blocker – Increases the range for block attempts against opponents' shots.

  • Tackle and Pass – Enables players to direct the ball toward a teammate during both active and passive tackles.

  • Contain Master – Increases the intensity and duration of pressing when using Contain (RB/R1).

  • No Fly Zone – The goalkeeper can rush out further and faster to intercept crosses and passes.

  • The Last Stand – During 1v1s or aggressive rushes (Y/△), the goalkeeper will close down attackers faster and from a greater distance.

  • Fast Pass – Faster execution of ground passes via quicker animation and ball speed.

  • Fast Driven Pass – Faster execution of powerful ground passes.

  • Fast Pass and Run – Faster pass-and-move actions, both in animation and ball travel.
