“There is absolutely no way it should be normalised.”
EA Sports FC 24players are fuming at an Ultimate Team mode card pack costing around 30.
And this is a microtransaction in a game that already costs 70.
After all, the cards received are randomised, even if EA provides the probabilities up front.
“It’s fine, you’ll get one 85 at best, and the rest is dupes.
In fact,many reddit usersare fuming about the price of the pack.
Said Adzzii_: “Obviously it’s a good pack but just seek therapy if you’re buying this.
First week of fifa and you’re dropping 30 on an untradeable pack.”
“I bought it for the ultimate edition points.
Knew it was bad value but figured I’d get something.
One 85 fodder and 26 dupes all below 83 rated,” said Appearance_Deficit.
“Put dupes into gold upgrades and got nothing.
Essentially got a poor 100k pack for three times the price.”
The company stuck with loot boxes forFIFA 23, after theUK government decided not to legislate the monetisation system.
More recently,EA was fined in Austriaas a court decided the packs were a breach of gambling laws.
