The first answers arrive from EA regarding the matter. Electronic Arts contacted directly by Ben Parker, BBC Journalist, would have replied as follows:
“A thorough investigation is underway, and if we identify improper conduct, we will take swift action. We want to be clear – this type of behaviour is unacceptable, and we in no way condone what is alleged to have happened here. We are aware of the allegations currently circulating within our community related to FIFA21 Ultimate Team items. A thorough investigation is underway, and if we identify improper conduct, we will take swift action. We want to be clear – this type of behavior is unacceptable, and we in no way condone what is alleged to have happened here. We understand how this creates concern about unfair balance in the game and competition. We will update the community as we get more clarity.”
According to what is reported in the video, some people every Monday sort in the accounts of FIFA players some packs with non-exchangeable cards with “only” 3 Icon Prime Moments for a fee of € 750 or pack containing 3 Icon Prime Moments and 2 TOTY for an insane amount of € 1,000.
As expected, the Canadian software house became aware of the illegal practice, it is still not known whether it was implemented by internal collaborators or by third parties, and has started a substantial and thorough search of the culprits and the accounts concerned.
