Fifa Ultimate Team: EA address controversial new price range
Teams assembled in FUT which have players in the same league or of the same nationality will work better together.
EA Sports has addressed recent changes to pricing in Fifa 15's Ultimate Team, and the backlash from numerous angry fans. The move was made to combat illegal coin farmers and sellers and "level the playing field" for all players.
"FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) should be fair and fun for every player," reads their blog post. "What are we trying to achieve with these changes? It's simple – we want to keep the game fair and secure for everyone, and ensure a level playing field for all FUT fans."
"To accomplish this," continues the blog, "We have to root out the activities of coin farmers and cheaters who are harming your experience with the game. These exploiters generate coins illegitimately in the FUT economy through the use of bots and phishing scams, creating a flood of fraudulent in-game currency and driving up the cost of players on the Transfer Market."
Price ranges were introduced which vary from Xbox to PlayStation to PC depending on the intricacies of those platforms' individual economies. EA also took down access to the transfer market through the web and companion apps, which they say was being exploited by farmers. They hope to have access back online "as quickly as possible".
Fifa Ultimate Team has proven a huge money-spinner for EA on top of the annual success of the game it forms a part of. The mode will undoubtedly return in Fifa 16 later this yea
