Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.
Now that it’s the time of year when FC 27 leaks are starting to appear, I’m honestly worried about the direction EA seems to be taking. According to the first leaks, there could be three editions of FC 27. I really don’t understand why. Having two editions was already enough.
If EA wants to increase revenue, I’d rather see them raise the price slightly instead of creating another edition. For example, increase the Standard Edition by $5 and the Ultimate Edition by $10. Most people who have been playing the game for years would probably be willing to pay a little more for a better overall experience.
That said, if EA decides to release three editions, I can accept that. My biggest concern is something else: giving away top-tier Meta cards for free at the start of the game.
This is one of the biggest reasons Ultimate Team has lost its excitement. So many people say cards don’t have the same value anymore, and that’s because EA keeps handing out incredible players right from the beginning.
According to the leaks, players who buy the Ultimate Edition Plus will receive a free Kylian Mbappé at launch. If that’s true, I think it’s a terrible decision. It makes the game less exciting because there’s no longer the thrill of opening packs, building your squad, or working your way toward elite players.
Please stop giving away Meta cards at the start of the game. It completely changes the progression of Ultimate Team and especially hurts the experience for RTG (Road to Glory) players, who enjoy earning everything through gameplay.
I really hope EA reconsiders this approach. If the game keeps moving in this direction, I honestly don’t think I’ll be buying FC 27.
