Available at the moment are four different items. These items are a tifo, a stadium theme, a home kit, and an away kit. There’s also an option to purchase all four items in a single, discounted bundle. It’s all very innocuous and regular, something that those familiar with live service games would expect to see in a digital content store. At first glance, it seems like a step in the right direction considering the lack of options otherwise available to players and general frustrations toward FC 25 Coins.
The pricing, in terms of real money, also isn’t necessarily extreme. If 100 FC points is roughly equivalent to a dollar, then none of the purchases individually costs more than $3. The bundle for everything is also 700 points, so no more than $7. Considering these are small microtransactions, it does seem like a lot, but for FC Ultimate Team players who may very much want certain microtransactions, it’s not outrageous.
What is outrageous, however, is the pricing for in-game currency. The bundle costs 60.000 FC 25 Ultimate Team coins, which is significantly more than even a prime gold FC pack. To be fair, it also costs more than the same pack in real money. But the intent really does seem to be pushing players to spend money rather than earn and use in-game currency. Still, an option to buy content is better than none, all things considered.
FC 25 players will have to decide for themselves whether this is a good addition from Electronic Arts. Fans have been asking for changes to FC ‘s monetization for a very long time, given the controversy surrounding loot box FC packs. But expensive, low-value premium items may not be what they had in mind. If there’s a time for feedback, however, it’s now, as changes could potentially still be made ahead of FC 25 ‘s launch.
FC 25 Ultimate Team is dominated by high-rated cards from the most popular clubs in the world. Many gamers only seek out players that are well known or have base stats that look good. Seasoned buy FC 25 Coins players know that rating and base card stats do not mean anything. For example, Sergio Busquets is an 87 rated player with 62 shooting and 42 pace.
