In addition to a player’s normal stats and ratings, you can enhance their attributes, badges, and overall rating through the evolution process.

Most evolution cards can be improved by up to two levels, providing you with greater flexibility and strength on the court.

As mentioned earlier, you can evolve a card in the game to upgrade a lower-rated player. To begin, you first need to obtain an evolution card, which may not be available to you in the early stages of the game. To get one, complete the chapters in the MyTeam Tutorial section. Upon reaching Level 9, you will receive the Starter Evolution Player Option Pack, which allows you to choose your first evolution card.

Once you have the evolution cards in the game, you can now evolve them easily with the help of the following steps:

  • Select the card, and you will learn about its evolution requirements. However, these requirements will also be directly proportional to the rarity of the cards. That means, a card with high rarity will have difficult tasks, or vice versa.
  • Next, you need to fulfil the requirements by using your card in the active lineup.
  • Once you finish the targets, return to the card and complete the process. Additionally, you can repeat the process if another evolution is available.
