FC 24: TOTY Lionel Messi Given To Gamers As Free Gift
2024-02-06 07:33
Each year, EA Sports honors fan-favorite football players through the Team of the Year promotion, which has continued since the transition of FUT naming to EA Sports FC 24. This is especially important for players playing EA FC 24's Ultimate Team mode, where players can form teams using collectible player cards. The Team of the Year promotion means players receive higher stats, making their cards highly valuable in the in-game market and within player teams.
One of the most valuable cards this year belongs to Lionel Messi, which has sold for nearly 10 million at EA FC 24 Auction House. Players can earn coins by winning matches in Ultimate Team mode (usually around 500 to 700 coins per game), or by trading on the market, or perhaps by purchasing coins through a third party. ), so it will take a long time for players to earn enough gold coins to get a Messi card. But things took a turn when EA Sports accidentally handed out too many Lionel Messi cards during a Team of the Year challenge. This mistake during TOTY can be said to be a major mistake made by EA Sports.
Packaging weights were extremely low during TOTY, making TOTY items extremely rare, but the huge SBC bug made it extremely easy for players to get EA FC 24 TOTY Messi with just an 85 rated team. And EA doesn't realize that there's only one player in MLS with a rating of 86 or higher - TOTY Messi, who's worth 9 million. By the time EA found out it was too late, hundreds of players suddenly received one of the rarest cards in the game as if they'd gotten it easily.
While hundreds of Ultimate Team players are happy, more importantly thousands are outraged, calling on EA Sports to level the playing field by providing everyone with EA FC 24 TOTY Messi merchandise as compensation.
It's safe to say that the EA FC 24 TOTY Lionel Messi bug is probably the biggest one Ultimate Team has ever seen in any series, worse than the 25k hero pack bug in FUT 23. Because EA included three players in the 1 of 3 86+ TOTY player selection and assigned a league to each position, each player's 86 rating is higher. Thirteen leagues are included in player selection, but EA may have increased the odds of MLS players appearing since it's one of the smaller leagues.
EA posted a response to the bug on its @EASFCDirect Twitter account after it happened, saying: "We have identified an issue with the 86+ TOTY Leagues SBC, as a result we have disabled the SBC." But no. There was no mention of any updates on how to fix this issue, nor any mention of compensation, causing dissatisfaction among players. So at a later stage EA chose to address this error by giving every player a free TOTY Messi item, meaning that no player benefited from this error and no player lost anything from it. It's like the EA FC 24 TOTY Messi glitch never happened.
Another way to solve this problem in the meantime is to re-release the same player picks at the same odds for players who originally didn't complete. In this way, players still have a good chance of packing TOTY Messi, which is fair to every player who missed out on SBC.
As ridiculous as it sounds, EA may act like this was never an issue. The publisher has never addressed what the issue with player selection is, but there appears to be another bug in the description of player selection. The TOTY player selection was supposed to only include leagues that featured players included in TOTY, but the Serie A Women's League was incorrectly named in the selected league list, even though no players from that league appear on any TOTY teams.
