MMOEXP: FC 25 cards for thousands of dollars
Recently, some Twitter users alleged that a FC 25 Coins employee was selling FC Ultimate Team cards for thousands of dollars. Some of these cards are incredibly rare to obtain through random player packs, but apparently the employee could just add these cards to a player's account, for a fee of course. Some FC Ultimate Team (FC 25 Ultimate Team) cards that were being sold were Prime Icon Moments and Team of the Year cards for upwards of $2000.
The situation came to EA's attention after FC players got #EAGate trending on Twitter. In a statement on Twitter, EA Sports announced that it would be conducting a full investigation into the allegations. If it turns out that an employee was truly engaged in the selling of rare cards, EA Sports promises swift action against them. The company plans to update the FC community a ta later time, probably once the investigation is completed.
All signs point to the allegations being true, as sending certain cards to a player's account seems like something only an employee could do. This capability seems like it would be used from a customer service standpoint to address glitches and errors where a player lost a card they had obtained. However, it's also a possibility that the cards sold are obtained through hacking, and the "employee friend" is just a ruse.
In either case, EA will certainly not want any third party making money off of FC 25 Ultimate Team cards. The company has made it clear it will do all it can to entice players into buying player packs. At one point some players alleged EA was purposefully nerfing cheap Fut 25 Coins cards to sell more packs. The overall situation has been a soft spot for many players.
