FIFA 20 Ultimate Team: 10 Improvements We Most Want
3. SBCs To Prove So Costly
Since the introduction of FUT’s Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), some of these challenges have been absolutely ridiculous.
Sure, they aren’t impossible, but some of the SBCs – which can be used to unlock Icons or limited-edition cards – require a gamer to trade in more than 100 of their players, including a whole load of 85+ rated cards.
Not even from a real-life cost – although, of course, if you throw real money at FUT then you can replenish your squad easier – more it’s the cost to your squad that is just so often not worth it. Yeah, you may unlock an untradeable Rudd Gullit, but is it really worth it when you have to exchange enough players to fill out 14 teams! At the end of it, granted, you get Ruud Gullit – one of the all-time greats and a beast on FIFA – yet who’s going to be playing alongside the legendary Dutchman when you've traded in all of your decent players to get him in the first place?
The cost and reward element of SBCs is way overdue a reassessment by EA Sports, but, money, right? So long as people keep on ploughing money into FUT – such as to complete SBCs – then EA Sports is going to keep this ridiculous setup in place.
