FIFA 23 RTTF: Road to the Final Upgrades Explained
RTTF cards are dynamic special cards. Players get boosted stats once for the start of the event and can then get even higher stats and ratings. The upgrades are dependent on the results of the teams in real life – and we'll see different upgrades for each step towards the trophy.
Since the cards can be upgraded until the end of the season, RTTFs are perfect for trading. The included players get their upgrades in any case – no matter if they were part of the squad or not.

EA will award Inform upgrades this season. This leads to exciting upgrades, because players under 87 OVR get +2 OVR with just one upgrade (so from 86 they get up to 88 with one upgrade).
New traits are dependent on the positions of the player and traits he already has. If a player already has 5* WF and 5* SM when they reach the respective upgrades, they will get another Inform upgrade instead.
The additional "after campaign launch" is important for the first upgrade. Let's take a look at the Champions League for an example. Players from Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund won their round of 16 first leg, but these took place before the start of the promo. These clubs will focus will on the second leg. If they win this match and qualify for the quarterfinals, they will get a double upgrade!
