FC 25 employee was selling FC Ultimate Team cards

Last night, an image went viral, allegedly leaking a black market for FC 25 Coins Ultimate Teams, where an Electronic Arts employee was offering extremely rare cards at high prices. Prices were $2.500 per pack for the Team of the Year, yet this was statistically far cheaper than if the players found the cards legitimately.

Now, the fans of the title are clamoring online under the hashtag "#EAGate" due to both a misunderstanding of the Watergate scandal naming conventions and frustrations with the company. The inability to receive the rarest players has brought about an apparent tipping point for fans. Add onto this that EA Sports is already under heavy fire for standard gambling conventions, and now multiple fans are beginning to question the series as a whole.

This could be the least of Electronic Arts' worries. EA has consistently cracked down on market transfers and trading in an apparent effort to encourage transactions solely through EA. A staple argument against EA's gambling allegations is that these cards aren't available for purchase in any form. This has been supported by EA Help chat stating that there is no ability to add coins or cards to players' inventories. That argument, bad actor or not, has now been dashed to the wayside by EA Help's own Twitter account.

Now, the community prepares for the fall. Competitive integrity has been dashed, and EA Sports' own terminology and statements are now appearing to be suspect to players, as well. From Electronic Arts' financial statements, microtransactions within titles such as FIFA 25 bring in the company roughly $1 billion a year. If this fiasco manages to undermine whatever defense Electronic Arts has been utilizing, the world of virtual footballing could change rather soon.

Buy EAFC 25 Coins Ultimate Team players have the opportunity to unlock several incredible cards. One of the best untradeable cards players can unlock this season is the MLS Squad Foundation Bojan. The 84-rated reward card has 82 pace, 82 shooting, 85 passing, and 87 dribbling. Bojan has the perfect attributes for an attacking midfielder in FC 25 Ultimate Team, and will be a great addition to Spanish and MLS sides.
