EA Sports FC 24 recently made changes to how some championship player selection rewards are distributed, but they haven’t been popular with many Ultimate Team players. There has been a backlash to EA’s changes over the weekend, accusing the developer of deliberately making it harder for them to obtain several new Team of the Season cards, with some even declaring their intention to boycott the purchase of FC Points.
The row centers on the Ligue 1 TOTS edition of Paris Saint-Germain stars Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembélé, with players reporting they earned more than usual by participating in recent weekend league games nice one. This is usually the case.

After many people struggled to get their hands on these great rewards (thanks VGC), EA tweeted that it had fixed an issue for them, posting: “We’ve discovered an issue where Champion Player Select rewards are providing unexpected results. . This has been fixed in the game.”
A community note reads: “There may be a probability issue, but there is no evidence that an ‘unexpected bonus’ was issued. Both Mbappe and Dembélé were part of the Ligue 1 TOTS, so they fit the bonus description. EA lowered their opportunity, as it will force players to open packs with real money,” has since been added to the post.

The change sparked a movement among some EA FC streamers and fans on social media, with many calling or declaring their intention to participate in a boycott of playing the game or purchasing FC Points (the in-game microtransaction currency that can be used to purchase FC Points). . Purchase using real money. While the rewards switch seems to be the final straw for these folks, it also seems to be mixed in with a lot of long-term frustration with the state of the game or series that they’ve been harboring.
“This company simply doesn’t do the right thing, and problems pile up week after week with no consequences. The servers are terrible, the gameplay is inconsistent across different game modes, and compensation for players with bad connections is lagging. Actual It should be the other way around,” one player wrote in a post on the game’s Reddit subreddit.
“But no matter what we do, no matter how much we complain, nothing changes,” they added, “and this all happens in the aftermath of what was just reported.” [EA] Ultimate Team alone has made billions of dollars. So faced with this situation, what can we as players do? I say we hit them where it hurts the most. It’s time to boycott FIFA points. “
“Remember what happened in Battlefront and think about what’s currently happening in Hellraiser 2,” another player wrote in another post. “You have a voice, this community has a voice, this Reddit There are 1 million members on the subreddit. , please boycott FC points! “
iGamesNews has contacted EA seeking comment on this matter.
