For those that are newer to
FIFA 21 and FUT, FIFA Points are the main microtransaction that’s available in FIFA Ultimate Team, allowing users to spend money on virtual currency that is used to open various packs in FUT, containing players, consumables and other club management items.
The criticism in recent months and years has been that FIFA Points are very overpriced for the value that you get back, people can spend hundreds of £/$ and not receive a walkout, as well as taking only 3-5 clicks to spend heavy sums on, which is a PEGI 3 title is concerning.
While it’s clear that FIFA Points do require some form of regulation going forward, perhaps in the form of a higher age rating for FIFA or the FUT portion of the title, changes in the odds and drop rates, price changes or simply removed from the game, at the beginning of a new FUT, FIFA Points can be beneficial.
