The imbeciles paying for Ultimate Team are the problems. Same ones spending TENS OF THOUSANDS on mobile games.

I remember playing rise of empires and there were players that had spent 100k plus on their castle

:eek: Like 100K in real money? Or 100K in game money? If it’s the first then that is just mind blowing and a testament to the “A fool and his money will soon be parted”.

Madden makes something absurd like just under a billion dollars a year on ultimate team.

I bet he’s referring to IRL money. They call people who spend big on microtransactions “whales”.

FIFA's UT mode in '22 made more money than all of Elden Ring's sales combined...

Real money and I wish I was exaggerating

Yes. Looking at all the things they had totaled up estimated over 100k ROFL

Wow! I just can’t wrap my mind around that.

That’s just sad.

Yep. Pretty sure most Mobile games and some PC/Console games are designed deliberately to attract whales.

..and to make them addicted causing others to try to "keep up"

I've played the ultimate team a couple of times but never spent extra money on it.

I even passed on the "congratulations on reaching max level, give us $20 to receive your reward"

and they even banned players for playing the game too much. They said it wasn't fair for other players to grind too much to field a good roster. But spending money was fair!

Wow! **** EA

You want to be competitive in sports, you better have deep pockets...

Rip and tear, bitch.
