EA defends FIFA 21 Ultimate Team \u2018true price\u2019 after widespread criticism EA SportsEA Sports has come out to defend the prices in FIFA\u2019s Ultimate Team game mode after a viral tweet challenging them sparked discussion in the community. Criticism of prices in FIFA\u2019s Ultimate Team game mode are nothing new, but now after a viral thread from Twitch streamer ScudTV claimed it would take millions of FUT Coins to build the \u2018perfect\u2019 team, EA has actually responded. Speaking in an exclusive with Mirror Football, one EA spokesperson defended the company\u2019s practices, saying \u201cWhile we respect the effort and creativity to map out possible paths to greatness, we challenge the premise of these theories.\u201d They then went on to tell the Mirror that they felt that there were quite a few assumptions made in Scud\u2019s calculations they didn\u2019t agree with. \u201cFor example, you can\u2019t accurately calculate how many coins you would earn from trading as that would depend on your skill as a trader,\u201d the company stated. \u201cThere are also other aspects of the game that contribute to building your club such as SBCs, Objectives and Draft, which have to be accounted for as well.\u201d FIFA Ultimate Team, and football in general, are first and foremost skill-based games EA continued on, no matter the level of the players on your individual team, they asserted. \u201cFIFA is a game of skill. The skill of the player is the greatest factor in the outcome of matches \u2014 a strong player can be successful whether their team is bronze, silver, gold, or a mix of all three,\u201d EA\u2019s spokesperson said. \u201cYou don\u2019t need the highest-rated players in the game to win. In the real world, no club has the world\u2019s highest-rated players in each of the 11 positions.\u201d How to invest in a team, EA claimed, is a choice that\u2019s left up to the individual player, just as clubs are run in the real world, and if players wanted to play \u201cagainst the best\u201d they can simply load up a regular online match. \u201cSome teams build through investment, and that\u2019s a choice for owners, front offices, and managers in real-world sports, just as it\u2019s a choice in EA SPORTS FIFA,\u201d the company stated. \u201cIf the premise here is that players want the best players on their team so they can compete online and play against the best, they can do that in FIFA for no investment \u2014 you can play as Liverpool or Man City or PSG whenever you like.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/MavricPlays\/status\/1374085754666807296?s=20 Folks in the FIFA community didn\u2019t take long to respond, and it was clear they also didn\u2019t exactly see eye to eye with EA on this. \u201cYou\u2019re responses to The Mirror are embarrassing, you have basically spat at everyone in this community with your responses. How are these acceptable answers to questions the community\u2019s had for years?\u201d EA gamechanger Karasuno Mav asked in a video response to the news. \u201cYou\u2019ve turned around to us and said we can use silver, bronze, and gold players to achieve a win. OK, so show me a pro player that\u2019s going to use a single bronze player in the next tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
