A new event has been announced for FIFA 21 with Freeze. It looks quite wintry – and players fear that a classic may have to make way for it.
What is the Freeze event? So far, not much is known about “Freeze” in FIFA 21. Only a new loading screen in Ultimate Team announces the new event. Basically, it gives no hints, just some frosty snippets of playing fields can be seen.
When does the event start? The event starts on Friday, December 11, at 7 PM. It’s possible that further hints about the event may appear beforehand. In past events, the screen often adjusted beforehand and provided hints.
Players ask: What about Futmas?
That’s the problem: The announcement initially raised question marks in the community, as the Freeze event has not been present before. However, some players are now concerned about a FIFA classic: the Futmas event.
With the typical Christmas event, many had actually expected this week. Last year, for instance, Futmas started on December 13, so the timing would actually fit. But now Freeze is on the doorstep.
In the FIFA subreddit, some are now fearing that Futmas might be history. After all, Ultimate Scream was replaced this year by Rulebreakers.
- “I really hope this doesn’t mean there won’t be a FUTMAS. I actually loved how cheesy the cards were; that was part of the charm,” comments user A-D-A-M (via reddit).
- “Why?!?!?!?! FUTmas was just one of the best promos, even if it was just a name change, why?” User MikkoJai is upset (via reddit).
- “We should rather still get daily player SBCs instead of another 2-week promo with cards that are only released in packs,” expresses another user skeptically (via reddit).
That’s the really special thing about the Futmas promo: There were constantly changing SBCs that allowed you to secure rewards and players.
Whether Freeze will take over this principle, will be something completely different, or if Futmas might simply come late is still open at this time. But it should clarify at the latest when the event starts.
Currently, you can find the new TOTW 11 in FIFA 21. There are some very strong cards included.
