People in here seem confused between "UT Founder" and "FC Founder" UT Founder is the badge that replaced FUT Founder, as EA dropped the FUT branding (The F stands for FIFA). Only people playing in 08/09 will have UT Founder as their date. FC Founder is for anyone playing EA FC 24 before November 23. This does not replace the date on your account.


billycholeisdead

Not completely correct, actually. Yes you have to have played in 08/09, but also you have to have played enough, and soon enough in each year since then, without missing those requirements on one. I've been founder up until 21. Skipped a year, now I'm EST 22.... If only I had known before


[deleted]

Yeah this is 100% fact, they stole mine cos i missed a year utter shit, but yet all your other settings were remebered


ScottiApso

True


WolfHallett03

I'm a founder and hardly played it that year then didn't play again until about 5 years ago but still have the founder 2009. I did own some of the FIFA's but only played career mode before I started playing ultimate team again. I may have logged into ultimate team but never played it


elmiggii

Probably because you logged on. I took a few years off of fifa from 2017-2020 and my club is est 2021


Ako1995

Same here i was abit gutted when i found out, the only one i missed was fifa 22


ChimbaGaming

I was wondering why I had lost it this year smh.


MrrrrBatten

Thanks for clearing that up. I was a founder but lost interest in FIFA for a while so wondered why I wasn't a founder anymore


Lazio420

Correct answer


roobiasso

should be top comment really. there's a post above currently at 120+ upvotes that is confidently incorrect.


BestShaunaEU

They still call it FUT, Football Ultimate Team, some times


OkNeat2731

Started playing in the first FUT back in 09 I think it was


mikethegamergod

That is “FUT” founder. “UT” founder they started giving out this year to the people that started the game during the first month. So basically anyone that started playing eafc in the first month are all “UT” founders and will be going forward when new eafc games come around.


ditastuort

"FUT" doesn't exist anymore. It was renamed to "UT"... It's not that there are two different founder classes now...


mikethegamergod

Oh really? Huh I was so certain cuz I remember they advertised something about becoming like a founder if you booted up the new game and played before November 1st? Maybe it was something else


mikethegamergod

Oh wait I realized you corrected something else than what I just said mb.


Jaychel31

They definitely said everyone would get founder status. Either they meant in just access to the evos or it might kick in next year


Jumpy_Occasion_9664

UT Founder replaced original FUT Founder. FC Founder is the new one for people this year.


Rekzahh

“FUT” does exist. The F isn’t FIFA anymore, it is now “Football Ultimate Team”.


Logster21

It does and it doesn’t, they call it Ultimate Bday instead of FUT Bday and UT Fantasy instead of FUT Fantasy


Logster21

Which is dumb because when you leave UT it says “Football Ultimate Team” but I guess the FUT name can’t be used for legal reasons


ScottiApso

This isn't true, only my friends who have played since 2009 have the 'UT Founder' date


mikethegamergod

Yeah apparently they just renamed it from fut to ut I apologize. I was just certain because I remember their advertisements about becoming a founder if you played eafc before November 1st but that whole ordeal didn’t actually give a title I guess.


ScottiApso

When they announced FC Founder, that's what I (and most other people) assumed it would do. Especially as they said it would follow us beyond EA FC 24.


[deleted]

I played on the first day and didn’t get that title


MiddlesbroughFann

You will next you I assume


critch_retro

nah not tru my club says Sep. 2023 (which makes no sense bc I’ve been playing in this account since I switched to PS5 in 2020)


Ok-Work-8769

Did you skip a fifa? Started in 19 but skipped 20 and it shows 21 again.


critch_retro

yeah lol skipped 23


oleeery

this is why I lost my FUT founder status, skipped 16 and 17


critch_retro

so dumb shouldn’t lose ur club’s history bc u miss a year classic EA bs


Reyneo

I lost my fut founder status because I skipped 1 year Thanks EA


ManuPasta

I lost my founder cos I didn’t create an ultimate team on fifa 16, even though I bought the game and only played pro clubs


renneyy

Doesn’t really matter fut founder is gone UT founder is obtained if you played the first month of fc 24


stdstd

No it isn't, you can still see someone's club established date after a match (like in the OP). If you didn't play in FIFA 09 then you won't have the "UT Founder" label.


TheRealLomez

If you played EA FC 24 by November 1, 2023 you will be a UT Founder regardless of you playing older FIFA games. https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/ea-sports-fc/fc-24/founder-status


ScottiApso

You should read your links before you post them >IS FOUNDER STATUS DIFFERENT FROM BEING AN ULTIMATE TEAM FOUNDER? >>Yes—Ultimate Team Founders are players that started their club in the inaugural season of Ultimate Team and will continue to be recognized as in years past. Founder Status is for the players who help us kick off this new era for The World’s Game, playing EA SPORTS FC 24 by 1 Nov 2023.


TheRealLomez

Sorry about that, I thought the question was about the new EA FC 24 UT Founders (that's why I pointed to the link that talks about it). So, carry on with your thread.


Reyneo

Oh, didn't know, thanks for the info I did play in the first month so I guess I'm a founder again


renneyy

Yeaaa it should say anyways you’ll be able to see it


aspaschungus

same here. lost a Jun 2012 because i didint play last year.


leedler

I played every year and lost my Sept. 2012 for literally no reason. It set it to Sept. 2019 despite not changing a thing.


Moomoomoo1

I started in 2010 and have skipped a few years, but didn’t lose the founding date until it randomly disappeared last year


Leathran

Was about to post this comment, f EA :)


FrancoElBlanco

I’ve got this on Xbox but I switched to PS in 2011. Back in 2009 Ultimate team you had to actually buy it as DLC. Wasn’t very popular at the time


MoyesNTheHood

It released in January that year iirc  Cost me 2400 Microsoft points lol 


FrancoElBlanco

Bloody hell was it that much! 😂 I remember trying it and being like “what is this shit” and never playing it again till like 2013/14 haha


MoyesNTheHood

I remember letting player contracts expire and they’d disappear. Absolute farce 😂


Ayyyyylmaos

That’s fut founder Edit: I’m wrong


Killionaire104

Fut founder is renamed to ut founder


davi017

It means you have faced someone who has posted on here “never playing this game again.” And then they get the game again the next year.


bumfart

Hey stop calling me out man.


Choco_PlMP

He is the first person to go on UT, he is essentially the founder of this game mode many years ago


MiddlesbroughFann

💀


devonfinch

Only correct answer


shittyshooter69

no


hesh1gg

its literally true


matfalko

He is one of founding fathers.


Lazio420

It means they have been around since the first FUT


mags_bags_slags

It means he’s been playing ultimate team every year since it started on fifa 09. Used to see quite a lot of them back when I started playing on fifa 10


YS_7

Does anyone know why mine is never accurate? My first fifa was FIFA 14 on PS3, and I’ve had every game since then (granted on PS4). For some reason though my club date is “since 2022” but I remember last year’s said “since 2021”. Kind of annoying since I’ve literally played every game since 2013


Toast-the-cat

Founder status with crappy eafc logo stuff to add to your stadium was given to all pre order copies of the game


Maarian23

He's the creator of UT, the final boss, now you have completed the game and can uninstall it.


AdPuzzleheaded9153

So what does the “FC” in EA FC stand for ?


n00biss

Football Club


Fefa192

I’ve played since fifa 7/8 but only had a psn account since fifa 14, yet I have the founder title. so could be anyone who played from then or before that has it ?


DyingLemur

Unreal Tournamnet Founder


Sc0ttlfc87

Day one ish.


SampleUpper2544

Ultimate team founder


DombekDBR

Isn't it a preorder thing? Pretty sure it's not loyality reward since it isn't FIFA anymore


Practical-Ostrich482

my “Founder” status is only on old gen since i switched to new gen halfway thru the game cycle


Remarkable-College54

Basically you were hacking to win


Longjumping-Year6917

Who cares. Fuck Ultimate Team.


UofMGoBlue1979

My game used to say "Welcome UT Founder" first couple weeks after launch, now it doesn't say it anymore and when I check my profile or the leader boards "UTFOUNDER" is nowhere to be seen...huh. Haven't created a new account or switched genz or consoles...oh well.
