Icon playing cards are among the many most wanted in FIFA Final Group. They embody legendary gamers comparable to Brazilian Ronaldo, Pele, Zinedine Zidane and Ruud Gullit, and are close to sufficient not possible to acquire via the mode’s controversial loot bins.
Even rarer are Prime Icon Moments – particular variations of Icon playing cards that mark one recreation or match that was particular for the gamers.
Gamers are recognized to have spent hundreds of kilos on packs in a bid to acquire these tremendous uncommon Icon playing cards. EA has been criticised for not revealing the precise chance when the prospect to acquire a card of a sure high quality is beneath one per cent, as is the case with Icon playing cards.
FIFA Final Group has at all times had a black marketplace for the shopping for and promoting of FUT Cash, which may then be used to purchase Icons from the in-game public sale home when they’re obtainable. However that is the primary time we have seen an allegation that gamers have been in a position to purchase playing cards straight with money.
With “EAGate” now trending on Twitter, FUT gamers are saying that if true, the flexibility to purchase highly effective playing cards straight and use them within the mode devalues the trouble and cash spent by legit followers within the pursuit of an Final Group, and ruins the stability of the sport and its economic system.
EA has responded to the allegations to say it has launched an investigation.
“We perceive how this creates concern about unfair stability within the recreation and competitors,” EA stated.
