Earlier, only the £15m+ players were out of the market… now even the mid-ranged players (like Suarez and Robben) have become extinct, as they are auto-bought the max range price.
“I don’t see how this will help so late into the season.” Another added: “EA might have to curb the rampant inflation and bring some unattainable cards back into the market, but all they’ve done is make it worse. “EA just basically re-confirmed any doubts that we may have had about their incompetence,” wrote one Fifa fan on the game’s official forum. Now, the only means of improving a team is either to plough hours into playing matches, or invest real money in Fifa Points, which can then be turned into currency within the game. However, the move effectively eliminates the tense, but legitimate, “player-flipping” gameplay many enjoyed.
Many players sell in-game currency via auction sites like eBay, breaking EA’s rules. However, many within the millions-strong Fifa community believe EA’s prime motivation for the change is in its third explanation: “to further restrict illegitimate coin transfers on the transfer market”. It goes on: “To make high-rated players more attainable for all FUT gamers and ensure a level playing field”. “To help FUT gamers understand the value of the players in their club,” is the first listed in yesterday’s announcement. Every item in the game is now available in “Buy It Now” format, with its value must be set within a pre-determined, EA-defined price range.ĮA has claimed there are several reasons for the move. However, fans will no longer be able to adopt this approach, as EA has removed entirely open auctions. And the faster you made coins, the quicker the world’s best players could be secured for your fantasy line-up. With some Harry-Redknapp-style wheeler and dealing the purchase could be immediately flipped back onto the market with a higher starting price – a much faster way of acquiring in-game currency than actually playing matches. Bagging an in-form player at a bargain price, usually by purchasing their card at 2am when fewer participants are online, led to moments of punch-the-air euphoria. Fans have reacted with fury to changes announced by developer EA Sports, which will radically alter the game’s popular Ultimate Team feature.įor many, the eBay-style open-auction transfer market that underpinned the mode’s gameplay – which involves building a “deck” of player trading cards into a fantasy team – was one of its biggest pulls. There is trouble on the virtual terraces of the best-selling Fifa video game series.
