Although we generally associate the cheatersWith other types of video games, the latest title in trouble due to hackers is EA Sports FC. Fans of the football game Electronic Arts They are reporting this problem very regularly both on social networks and in the company’s official forums. A situation that, although it would be serious in any case, here becomes almost dramatic. We are talking about that users can see part of the money they have spent on the video game unused without the possibility of recovering it. All without, at least at this point, there being a solution.
A problem for which EA Sports still has no solution
As has been usual whenever there have been problems with cheaters in the FIFA sagacheats almost exclusively affect gamers. PC (be careful with crossplay) who want to enjoy FUTDraft. This Ultimate Team game mode is locked behind a paywall of 15,000 coins (free currency) or 300 FIFA Points (about three euros). Without going into assessing this cost of participating, it is one of the most interesting game modes. It offers the possibility of forming a dream lineup with loan players and playing games in which there are many rewards at stake. A defeat leaves us eliminated and the more victories we achieve up to a maximum of four, the better the prizes will be.
The problem that EA Sports FC players are encountering is related to disconnections. “My opponent didn’t do anything during the match and that’s why it was cancelled. The result seems to be a 0-0 draw, but I can’t continue with the Draft. It forces me to claim rewards. Why can’t I continue playing if my opponent was AFK?” “, explained a player. have been collected at least a dozen similar comments in the forums EA Sports. Basically, what hackers do is Disconnect your opponents of the game, somehow achieving that, instead of the game being cancelled, it counts as a victory for them.
Since many users spend real money participating in the game mode, protests are more intense than usual. Especially since Electronic Arts’ complaints system is not working as expected. Already during many of the FIFA installments prior to the launch of EA Sports FC, players faced similar problems. However, they were backed up by a system where they could make complaints and which were usually resolved favorably if they had actually faced a cheater. This year, however, they don’t have that last hope to cling to.
As for why someone would want to cheat at EA Sports FC, it all leads us to think about money. There are multitudes of pages that sell coins in exchange for real money, using all the mechanisms at your disposal to achieve the greatest possible number of rewards. In this sense, achieving four victories in FUT Draft is a very efficient way to achieve your goals. Along the way they may destroy this game mode, but they don’t seem to care too much about that.
