6 Reasons FIFA 21 Ultimate Team Suffers From The Same Old Problem

1. Ultimate Team Remains A Pay-To-Win Game Mode

The biggest problem for Ultimate Team is that, to be able to compete, the only real option is spending ridiculous amounts of real-life money on packs to guarantee that at some point you will get the best football superstars.

While the majority of video games in 2020 have some form of extra content to buy, more than any other it is necessary in FIFA if you want to be consistently winning. For example, Call of Duty and Fortnite both have regular content that you can purchase, but it is all cosmetic.

In FIFA, to get the very best players you have to either grind a lot and get lucky or spend money. All of the professional FIFA players spend huge amounts to buy packs at the start of the year, allowing them to get the best possible team. Why do the top players do this? They know there is no other option or they will be at a huge disadvantage in competitive matches.

While you certainly can build a good team without spending a penny, you will be spending every minute available grinding away. To get the best team possible to give yourself a chance of beating the best, you have to spend thousands - and that isn't the way video games should be!
