In FIFA 17 FUT, some players exploit the severe head injury of Ryan Mason to quickly amass many coins. The “Price-Fixing” faces heavy criticism from the community.
The 25-year-old midfielder Ryan Mason from Hull City suffered a skull fracture during the game against Chelsea over the weekend. He collided with defender Gary Cahill, was treated on the field for nine minutes, and was then transported to the hospital. An operation has already taken place. Unpleasant scenes that no fan wishes to see.
However, in FUT 17, some fans exploit this serious injury by engaging in what is called “Price-Fixing”: When a player temporarily experiences high demand in the transfer market, price fixers buy numerous cards of that player and then sell them bundled at a high price. Some users fall for it: They see “Oh, all the cards are so expensive, then I’ll just buy the player at this price.”
The goal of these “price fixers” is: To maximize profit.
Unethical offers on the transfer market
After his serious injury, Ryan Mason is currently heavily featured in the media, leading many FUT players to search for his card. Normally, this card is valued at around 400 coins. However, some users have recognized a profit opportunity and flooded the transfer market with cards priced at over 6000 coins.
Many FIFA fans in the Reddit forum are outraged that some users seemingly wish to boost their virtual coin reserves without any scruples. One fan writes that there is a special place in hell for these price fixers. Others argue that FUT 17 is just a game and that morality shouldn’t come into play.
Even on Sunday evening, Hull City announced that Ryan Mason is in stable condition after his operation. However, he will remain in the hospital for the coming days.
