Beyond consolidating transfer markets the transfer market FUT 23 Coins, there haven’t been major changes to the ethically unsound way that EA handles microtransactions, but I did notice that ratings have been rising since the spectacle that makes it seem like a bandit with only one arm…

Despite continuous pressure from regulators, microtransactions based on pay-to-win areunfortunately a problem in FIFA 23. Loot boxes appear in the form of players-filled card packs within FIFA’s wildly popular Ultimate Team mode. You can buy FIFA Points with bundles beginning with PS0.79 to get 100 FIFA Points and increasing to a whopping PS79.99 to 12,000 FIFA Points. A Premium Gold Pack costs 150 FIFA Points. It includes 12 gold-rated gamers or consumables which can be used in-game or sold on transfers markets.

According to the company’s policies, EA told Eurogamer that FUT’s lockerboxes “are an aspect the game of FIFA that players appreciate,” and that “giving players the ability to buy whenever they’d like is fair.” It has no plans to change its policy regarding “surprise mechanics” unless laws are passed that force it to.

This doesn’t make the situation any better, but it’s worth noting that, because of those laws , you are able to now set weekly limits on FIFA points and pack open within Ultimate Team, and see the probability of receiving the highest-rated player prior to opening the pack buy FIFA 23 Coins. FIFA 23 also features time-limited Preview Packs that let you review the contents of the pack before deciding to buy it, but this feature is only available to only one pack of cards that is refreshed once per day.
