In FIFA 20 there have already been some errors. We have selected the 5 biggest errors in Ultimate Team and present them to you.
Here’s what it’s about: New content is constantly being released in Ultimate Team. Numerous events and plenty of special cards are introduced to the game. But errors also sneak in.
We will show you the 5 biggest errors that have occurred in Ultimate Team so far.
Champions League cards were way too cheap
This is what happened: When EA newly introduced UCL cards in FUT 20, the price ranges for some cards were far too low. This meant that many players could only list their new UCL cards at low maximum prices on the transfer market.
For example, you could pull the new UCL card of De Jong and list it for a maximum of 10,000 coins on the transfer market. However, his gold card with exactly the same stats could be offered for a maximum of 100,000 coins.
And since the 85-rated De Jong was worth about 60,000 coins at that time (PS4), you could either sell him for 50,000 coins too little or keep him until the price range was adjusted. Very frustrating for many players.
Some FUT players might have been pleased with this error, however. Because during this time, some bargains were possible. Players were just waiting for Champions League cards from unsuspecting FUT beginners who didn’t know they were offering their top cards for too low a price.
This is how EA reacted: Later, the price ranges were adjusted again so that players could sell their valuable UCL cards without suffering a significant loss.
Players receive too strong Icon cards
This is what happened: This error likely pleased some FUT players rather than annoyed them, especially those who experienced it. It’s about the Base Icon Pack from the Icon Swaps 1 event. Players could earn a Base Icon Pack here, which was supposed to contain a random icon card in its base version.
However, many players were quite astonished. They opted for the pack with the random icon card and instead received a stronger mid-icon card, which was usually significantly better than the base icons. FUT players who opted out of the icon pack probably didn’t like this at all.
In this video, you can see how a player opens a base pack and experiences a surprise:
Mobile users start the video at 4 minutes and 22 seconds.
This is how EA reacted: Shortly after the error became known, EA responded and fixed the issue. The base icon packs then actually contained only base icons.
However, players who had drawn too strong cards were allowed to keep them.
Strangely weak Weekend League rewards
This is what happened: At the beginning of the year, many FUT players were excited about their Weekend League rewards. As in every week, they were supposed to receive various player picks with random red Inform cards for a good performance in the Weekend League. But with the first rewards of the year, the rewards were completely wrong.
The players did not receive any of the coveted red TOTW cards. They were only presented with a selection of random gold cards, which were also mostly quite weak.
This is how EA reacted: EA only responded later in the day, first deactivating player picks for all players. Later, the rewards were corrected, and the affected players received new player picks with the correct red inform cards. The gold cards could be kept.
Players were mistakenly promised a top card
This is what happened: Viewers of the FIFA eWorld Cup on Twitch had the chance to be rewarded for watching. EA promised the chance to win one of the best cards in the game: the TOTY card (Team of the Year) of Frenkie De Jong. Random players were supposed to be drawn.
At the end of the stream, FUT players received an in-game winning notification in FIFA 20. But apparently too many. EA mistakenly sent this message to presumably thousands of FUT players who hadn’t watched the stream and were not supposed to receive De Jong.
They also clarified that only the legitimate winners would receive the top card:
This is how EA reacted: After a week of confusion and players getting upset over the erroneous winning notifications, EA had compassion and gifted the TOTY card to all players who received the in-game message. Much to the delight of many FUT players.
Untradeable cards appear on the transfer market
This is what happened: There are cards in FUT that cannot be sold on the transfer market. These include players from SBCs or red Inform cards received as rewards for Weekend League. These cards are “untradeable” – in theory.
But somehow, some untradeable cards made their way onto the FUT transfer market in FUT 20, which is very curious. Players could buy these without any issues and use them in their teams.
This is how EA reacted: Officially, EA did not comment on this error. However, it didn’t take long before no untradeable cards appeared on the transfer market anymore.
