The EA FC 24 community is currently divided and frustrated following a change made to the soccer game, which appears to have deteriorated the gaming experience for several users.
In the world of video games, particularly in the world of virtual football, development errors can have significant repercussions, both for players and for publishers. This is what EA FC 24 recently experienced, with a mishap around a team creation challenge (SBC) involving David Beckham, one of the most popular icons of Ultimate Team mode.
Another bug for EA FC 24
The game, which had already experienced a notable incident at the start of the year with Lionel Messi, is once again at the center of discussions following an error concerning David Beckham’s DCE. Usually, the rewards obtained from these challenges are non-tradable items, thus conferring a certain exclusivity to the players who complete them. However, in a surprising move, EA Sports made the Beckham icon tradable on the market, providing an unexpected opportunity to generate a significant profit in terms of virtual currencies.
The situation quickly evolved, with the removal of Beckham’s DCE, time for the publisher to correct the situation and return to a non-exchangeable format. This window of time, although brief, allowed some players to exploit the error to their advantage, effectively influencing the game’s transfer market. The value of the Beckham icon saw a dramatic drop, from 525 000 to around 395,000 coins in the span of a day, a devaluation of around 35%.
Same observation
Moving forward, EA Sports FC 24 plans to continue its Golazo promotions in Ultimate Team, with the introduction of a second wave of Icons and Heroes. Legends such as Jairzinho, Eric Cantona and Roberto Carlos are announced, reinforcing players’ expectations for new content. This incident with Beckham, while a blow, also serves as a reminder of the importance of rigorous and precise content management, essential to maintaining player trust and engagement. Because this new story may still stick in your throat for a long time.
Available on PlayStation, Xbox and PC, EA Sports FC 24 continues to establish itself as a reference in the football game segment, despite obstacles and unforeseen events. Players, while attentive to the corrections made, remain engaged and hope for future developments free of such inconveniences.
