FIFA 20 Ultimate Team: 10 Improvements We Most Want
8. Realistic Price Caps
Over the past few editions of FIFA Ultimate Team – much like various other paywall-structured games – those gamers with more real-life money at their disposal have had a major advantage when it came to being able to afford the ludicrous price tags placed on Icons and IF players.
There are always going to be those special football stars who are more expensive than the rest – that’s the very nature of having Icons and IF cards – but there needs to be a realistic cap on the prices currently placed on these players.
When you see the FUT transfer market featuring players being purchased for nearly 3 million coins, that’s absolutely ridiculous. Seriously, which FUT manager has that amount of coins at their disposal unless they’re investing a stupid amount of their own real money into the game?
In terms of what a realistic price cap could be, 1 million coins seems like the right sort of figure. That’s a cost that’s initially out of reach for the casual gamer, yet not impossibly out of reach. After all, it’s only right that you have to earn those Icons and IF players, but there has to be that light at the tunnel where you can realistically get these stars added to your team if you put the work in.
