In FIFA 20, there are occasional errors that affect gameplay. How these are handled often leads to frustration.
This is the issue: Last Friday, the second part of the challenges for Icon Swaps 2 went live. However, EA Sports apparently made a mistake: As several players report, the challenges were briefly completable in friendly matches. So if you teamed up with a friend, you could quickly secure some tokens – but only for a very, very short time.
The player “Donk – FUT Trader” for example, alerted his followers to the situation in a tweet – adding: “Do it quickly before they patch it.” However, many players probably did not take advantage of this opportunity. Because after a short time, the glitch was gone again.
Fixes come quickly at times, and sometimes take days
This is the problem: Errors occur quite frequently in the FIFA series. It is generally not unusual for a bug, especially one as far-reaching, to be fixed quickly. However, FIFA’s history has caused some irritation in this regard. EA Sports is not particularly quick to fix errors that affect players.
When the Weekend League rewards were incorrectly awarded recently, the correction took several days. The career mode has long been plagued by severe bugs. And players in Pro Clubs continue to be frustrated by annoying errors that are either not fixed for a long time or not fixed at all.
This is how the community reacts: However, the swaps glitch was an error that gave players an advantage. The fact that it was fixed within a few minutes annoys some players. “It’s exactly these kinds of things that irritate players,” said streamer NepentheZ on Twitter: “There are 100 other ‘quick fixes’ you could also do, but they are ignored.”
Also user “Matt_Cornwall“ in the FIFA Forum says: “I only managed one game. It surprises me that a glitch that favors players gets patched so quickly.”
The different priorities in fixing bugs have been frustrating the community for a long time. For example, in FIFA 19 there was a case where players could benefit from a faulty SBC – but that was also quickly taken away.
In the meantime, the new Title Update corrects 10 more errors:
