The community of FIFA 20 is currently not very happy with EA Sports. Several bugs are annoying players – even this week, the football simulation was not without its controversies. An SBC for Ben Yedder is causing trouble.
FIFA 20 with challenging weeks: That bugs happen in the FIFA series is nothing new. In FIFA 19, players even made a joke about collecting a list of all the strange bugs and ended up with an impressive 130.
In FIFA 20, there are also frequent bugs, whether in gameplay or content:
- At the beginning of 2020, bugs with the Weekend League rewards appeared
- A player clearly showed that the gameplay does not always function perfectly.
- The challenges for Icon Swaps 2 were also flawed – curiously, it was the speed of the correction that annoyed players. Because it created the impression that EA only quickly deals with bugs that give players an advantage.
POTM Ben Yedder the next on the list
This week went: Apart from the fact that there were also short-term problems with the Weekend League rewards this week, FIFA 20 released a faulty SBC. The Squad-Building Challenge offers players a very good card with POTM Ben Yedder and is correspondingly tempting.
It became even more tempting because EA made an error with a part of the SBC. Instead of needing an 86-rated team, you only had to exchange an 80-rated team. This way, you could also secure a good pack. But it didn’t take long for the mistake to be noticed. EA then disabled the SBC.
This is how the problem was solved: EA Sports brought the SBC back online after two days with adjusted requirements. The progress of players who had started to solve Ben Yedder was reset. The exchanged cards were returned – which also took some time.
Accusation: EA only fixes bugs quickly if they benefit players
This is how the community reacts: Again, the topic is: “Why did this go so quickly?”
For example, Twitter user Danny Rai complained that bugs that benefit players are fixed quickly, but bugs that disadvantage players supposedly remain for weeks.
The majority of complaints remain uncommented.
As a result of the SBC problems, some players made a joke of consulting the Twitter EA accounts with purchasing problems regarding FIFA Points. They wanted to see if EA would react more quickly in this regard, which in turn generated attention on Reddit.
Under a post by football player Luis Alberto, who complained about the server performance of FIFA 20, the user “Massivespesh” commented with a help request. He wanted to buy FIFA Points with his mother’s credit card, which was not working. And EA actually responded:
That EA responds to such a request on Twitter causes laughter on Reddit. Some users suspect an automated response, as similar inquiries on Twitter were commented similarly. Luis Alberto’s original post, however, remained unanswered.
That the game itself sometimes has unusual things in store, you can see here:
