Suddenly, Champions League cards appeared in FIFA 20. This was not supposed to happen yet, and players are confused.
The problem with the CL cards: On Monday evening, some FIFA 20 players were quite astonished. Suddenly, CL cards appeared in their packs – these are the blue special cards that only come from players of the Champions League teams.
That Champions League cards should currently be available in packs was not announced. Moreover, they had the same values as the normal standard cards of the respective player. In FIFA 19, the CL cards were always one point stronger than the standard version.
This, however, was not the main reason for the frustration of some players.
Champions League cards accidentally replace OTW cards
CL cards instead of OTW in packs: Since last week, the OTW players (Ones to Watch) have been available in packs. These dynamic cards have a total of 23 players who changed clubs in the summer.
They receive better values when a player gets a TOTW card, like Coutinho. Accordingly, the OTW cards are expensive.
However, some players have drawn CL versions of some OTW players from their packs. For example, one Reddit user received a CL-Pulisic, although the forward should currently only be available as an OTW card in packs.
The OTW card is significantly more valuable than a regular CL card. As seen on Twitter, several players apparently had this problem – and were correspondingly angry.
This is how EA responds to the issues
CL cards removed again: EA Sports responded quite quickly to the issues on Twitter: “Rare and regular UCL cards were released today, causing unforeseen problems. The cards were temporarily removed,” wrote the official FIFA 20 account.
Everyone who received the “wrong content” that should have included an OTW card will be contacted in the game. EA will later provide details regarding the CL cards. However, some questions remain unanswered.
What will happen to the cards? Many players are dissatisfied with the response on Twitter. Many assume that the drawn CL cards will be replaced by OTW cards. However, this has not been confirmed.
Also, players who have quickly sold a mistakenly drawn CL card due to its low value hope to receive compensation. Here, EA is still waiting to provide information.
For some, the topic also causes annoyance, as EA quickly addresses Ultimate Team issues while the career mode still waits for urgent fixes:
