Should Ultimate Team tournaments return in FIFA 20? Graphics: EA SPORTSUltimate Team players have been split right down the middle after FIFA 20 players suggested that EA SPORTS should bring back a feature from the past. The popular game mode has all sorts of different ways to play included in it now, with Rivals, Squad Battles, FUT Draft, FUT Champions Weekend League and, of course, online friendlies all at the disposal of players. It\u2019s fair to say that the mode hasn\u2019t been given as positive reviews as we\u2019ve seen in recent years, though, with some professional players arguing that the gameplay is too slow, not to mention issues with rewards, SBCs and more that have taken a while to resolve. While there\u2019s certainly variety in the game mode, it appears that there\u2019s a growing sense of demand for developers to shake up the pack and bring something back that long-time fans of the franchise will more than likely remember. In a post to the FIFA subreddit on January 30, Reddit user bryamcheaky called for the return of Ultimate Team\u2019s Tournaments, with the idea receiving an overwhelming embrace by other players. \u201cBring back tournaments EA. This was sick,\u201d they posted alongside an image of a FIFA 16 FUTTIES tournament image. Should tournaments come back? Tournaments of all different varieties have been included in FIFA games over the years, with the more old-school versions forcing fans into making a specific type of team in order to enter. In the case of FUTTIES, there were a number of upgraded pink cards that could be won by reigning victorious in the tournaments, as seen with the 91 Reus, 89 Aubameyang and 86 Konoplyanka cards above \u2013 with the Ukrainian previously having 95 pace. Fast forward a few years and he has just 81. Not all tournaments were online though, with quite a number of having their rewards altered for offline play, giving players who just want to grind against the computer a chance to take part always. The online events were always much more lucrative, though. A community divided Another tournament that was introduced for competitors to qualify for the Weekend League required four straight wins and was not as popular, it must be said, with many responding to the Reddit thread to reject the idea of tournaments coming back altogether. One Reddit user said: \u201cThese were fun cause they were optional. The tourneys where you had to win to qualify for WL were brutal.\u201d However, that same optimism wasn\u2019t shared by everybody. Another posted: \u201cAre you guys going to post this every year? This tournament was hated by the community because you had a few tries to win it and the sweat was unbearable. It wasn\u2019t sick. It was frustrating and disgusting.\u201d \u201cI never understand what \u201ccommunity\u201d EA are listening to, as no one likes this new patch,\u201d another commenter said. \u201cI used to love the St Paddy\u2019s Day tournament, Silver tournaments etc.\u201d There\u2019s no doubt that the likes of the St. Patrick\u2019s Day tournament, and those similar to it, would be much more positively received as a limited-time event \u2013 with a blend of offline and online made available. However, there has been no indication that EA plans to bring online tournaments back any time soon. For those who want to see them come back, the wait goes on. Whether they should come back or not, though, does seem to be splitting opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
