Due to what can be described as a stroke of genius, EA Sports helped Ajax vs PSV, one of the Eredivisie’s (Netherlands’ top-flight football league) most important rivalries, become the most watch match in the history of the competition, according to ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sports network shared that a total of 1.46 million fans watched the clash between both Dutch titans this past 10th January. The reason? FIFA 21’s Showdown SBC cards for both Donyell Malen and Sean Klaiber.<\/p>\n

Special and available for a very limited time, the Showdown cards are built around upcoming important matches in the world of football, with Ajax vs PSV being the first selected game. <\/p>\n

On top of having increased stats from base cards right out of the gate, the result of the match determines whether they get an extra boost. The player of a winning squad gets a +2 OVR boost, and in the case of a draw, both cards receive a +1 boost.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, with the final result being a 2-2 draw, fans ended up relatively happy as they all got a decent upgrade to both cards.<\/p>\n
