FIFA 23 has not been on the market for long, but there are already more and more curious bugs in the game. We show you what has gone wrong lately.
FIFA 23 is only about two weeks old, but the bugs are already piling up. And especially at launch, things did not go well at all. First, PC players faced significant problems with the new anti-cheat system, which sometimes prevented them from playing.
Then the servers were offline on the very first evening of the early access release. But the probably biggest bug was the accidentally released Hero Pack, which even crashed the entire FUT transfer market.
So peace is not returning to FIFA, and the bugs just keep coming. They are currently not as serious, but extremely strange. We will show you three particularly curious bugs from the last few days.
EA confuses players and puts wrong images on cards
This is what happened: In the new Dynamic Duo SBC (Squad Building Challenge), which introduces two special cards of Leeds United players Rodrigo and Jack Harrison to the game, EA made a mistake. The developer assigned the wrong images to the cards.
So on the Harrison card, there is a picture of Rodrigo, and vice versa. Here you can see the cards:
What does EA say? EA Sports has not commented on the error, but it has now been corrected so that the correct images are now represented on the cards.
Wrong cards sometimes appear in packs
This is what happened: A bug that occasionally happens in FUT: In special packs, the announced special cards are not included, but instead mostly just gold cards. This happened with the last Weekend League rewards (via Twitter).
Also, and perhaps a bit more frustrating, it was for pre-orderers who opened their exclusive OTW Pack. Because even there, some players initially did not find an OTW card in it, but another gold card.
The same thing happened shortly thereafter on October 11 two more times:
- In the Pre-Season rewards, there were normal gold cards of players who currently have special cards in packs.
- In the guaranteed TOTW pack of the pre-orderers, players from TOTW 2 were found instead of TOTW 1.
What does EA say? EA has addressed these errors and has already made the corrected packs available to some players:
- Players who received gold cards instead of OTW cards should now get their OTW cards (via Twitter).
- The corrected pre-season rewards will be given to the players in the coming days (via Twitter).
- The guaranteed TOTW pack has already been received by the affected players (via Twitter).
The erroneous cards can be kept by the players in such cases.
FIFA shows Napoli crest without holding the license
This is what happened: In the Ultimate Team menu, a graphic for the match between SSC Napoli and Ajax Amsterdam was displayed, which does not initially sound like a bug. However, EA no longer holds the license for the Italian club since this year. This now belongs to Konami with eFootball.
Nevertheless, they displayed the crest of the Italian traditional club, although they have removed it from FUT and all other FIFA modes. The club is now called Napoli FC in FIFA 23 instead of SSC Napoli.
What does EA say? EA has not yet commented on this error, but the graphic has since disappeared.
