Ultimate Team is constantly evolving too, with big additions like FUT Champions alongside regular updates to the game in general. Even career mode has been evolving of late, with new cutscenes and new objectives.

This song was released by virtual band 'Gorillaz' on their third album named 'Plastic Beaches'. As one of the most eccentric - yet amazing - bands of recent memory, they have their own fictional universe, which most of these albums explore.

The brains behind this band happens to be Damon Albarn; singer-songwriter for the band Blur. They released an album in 2018 called 'The Now Now'.

Rhinestone Eyes is one of the most soothing tones to ever play in FIFA. The electronic song is super mellow and the robotic voice that sings the song is almost cathartic. This was the second Gorillaz song to feature on FIFA, with the first one being '19-2000' in FIFA 2002.

FIFA 11 had other great songs like Sun in my Pocket by Locnville, but this song is one of the best composed songs to ever feature on FIFA, along with it's perfect meshing with the vibe of the game.
