EA has come under fire for its FC 24 Coins Ultimate Team mode in the past, with a lawsuit filed in California alleging Ultimate Team is rigged to encourage more loot box purchases. While this incident involving incorrect stats appears to be a mistake that can be remedied, it erodes trust in the user base. If folks were duped here, is it possible there have been other cards that are inaccurate?
That EA is being upfront about its investigation into the matter is a good sign, as transparency and open dialogue are highly valued by game communities. When Call of Duty's developers failed to address fan claims that a MAC-10 blueprint was "pay-to-win," players felt cheated and expressed their displeasure. Eventually the issue was fixed, but owning the mistake from the start would have done a lot to restore faith for players.
Whenever microtransactions are involved in a game, there are bound to be those that question the legitimacy of a game that claims it is not pay-to-win. The idea behind microtransactions is to get the player base to continue investing in the game, and what better way to do that than to secretly nerf older FIFA Ultimate Team cards to get players to buy new packs with the latest and greatest. In many cases it is hard to prove if this is happening, but even the possibility of tampering sows seeds of doubt. With that said, EA is looking into the issue with the incorrect cards and will keep players informed.
15-year-old FIFA prodigy Anders Vejrgang has been one of the biggest up-and-coming names in the soccer franchise's esports world for quite a while now, with his biggest accomplishment being his undefeated streak on FIFA 's Ultimate Team mode. Hanging with some of the annual sports title's best players, Vejrgang wracked up a jaw-dropping 536 wins in a row, dominating the mode's notoriously tough Weekend League.
Last Sunday, the talented FIFA 24 player's streak was finally broken when he went head to head with Danish player Damesheets, who managed to get a shock victory over his opponent, winning 5 - 1. Regardless of the loss, Vejrgang has set a record that many believe will be nigh-impossible to shatter, wracking up a serious number of wins in spite of some unbelievably tough competition.
For those not keeping up with the ambitious FIFA player's career, Vejrgang is currently signed with German soccer club RB Leipzig, which brought the young player on board to join its esports league. Unfortunately, he's too young to officially partake in a number of FIFA 's biggest tournaments, deciding that he would instead focus on dominating Ultimate Team until he was old enough to compete.
Since his recent loss, several professional gaming mainstays have reached out to celebrate his monumental achievement, with one of FIFA 's esport commentators, Brandon Smith, tweeting "the next generation of FIFA talent is scary." Vejrgang can't officially join any of FIFA 's esports leagues until he's 16. however, he's already building quite the following for when he inevitably challenges some of the game's biggest names.
Right now, he boasts over 500.000 Twitch followers, 300.000 Instagram followers, and over 90.000 Twitter and YouTube followers. He's sure to only grow in popularity when he gets the opportunity to show off his wide skill set in front of a bigger audience in a year's time. Until then, it seems he'll continue to run through opponents on buy EA FC 24 Coins Ultimate Team Weekend League. In other FIFA 24 news, the game's Google Stadia port finally got a release date earlier this month, with it officially set to debut on March 17 for the streaming console.
