A groundbreaking blow for the FC community

At the moment, FUT Birthday is running, and EA Sports releases a new SBC every day. Today's special: Mikel Oyarzabal FC 24 Coins. This guy once again plays a pretty decent season in LaLiga Santander, has already been featured in the Team of the Week twice and has now also gotten a new special card.

On March 19, the SBC including Oyarzabal expires, so if the player fits perfectly into your team, you have to react relatively quickly. By the way, the next promo in Ultimate Team will be on its way until then – you can see which one's coming up next in our FUT calendar. Well, let's get back to the SBC:

A groundbreaking blow for the FC community. The court has confirmed that opening FUT packs is not gambling. EA will therefore be able to keep the pack mechanic and the associated pay to win system. The Dutch ruling takes away any hope of an Ultimate Team free-to-play mode.

Investigations and lawsuits against EA have been ongoing for several years. Opening packs in FC Ultimate Team is gambling, that's what some said. Feel free to check out everything we know about FC 24 so far.

Ultimate Team's pack mechanism is EA's biggest source of revenue. If this system had been dubbed illegal, the corporation would have had to forgo billions in revenue every year. For the FC community, it is now clear that FUT will forever remain pay to win. But is that good or bad for us FC players?

To understand the whole story, we have to rewind a few years. Back then, Messi was still playing for FC Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo scored goals for Juventus buy Fut 24 Coins. At the time, no one would have thought that things would turn out differently for both of them.
