FIFA 15: 10 Fan Demands Still Totally Ignored By EA
2. Wager Facility
Ever since mankind first became obsessed with sport, gambling has been an inseparable part of our favourite pastime. This is true of football as well, so it is only fitting that a wager function be added to the planets most popular football game to acknowledge that gambling is a big part of the sport. On the most popular game mode on FIFA Ultimate Team players clamouring for the introduction of Wagers have taken matters into their own hands, heading to twitter to arrange high-stakes games for a mutually agreeable bounty of coins and/or players. It wont come as a surprise to anyone who has interacted with the games online community to learn that players often dont honour the bets theyve made, conning their opponents out of the prize they fairly won. The introduction of a wager facility will mean that EA are free to govern these bets and ensure that they can eliminate the reprehensible work of the scammers. The thought of playing in a match with the promise of potentially winning a world-class player is an extremely exciting one; better yet, imagine scoring an 88th minute winner to bag the prize. Fans have made their desire for a wager function extremely apparent so it is disappointing that EA made no mention of it at E3. It would make an already superb mode in Ultimate Team even better.
