FIFA Ultimate Team Gets New Feature - Price Ranges

EA Sports has also announced new features rolling out for FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT). It highlighted the addition of Price Ranges to the Transfer Market in FUT.

This addition will enable a Price Range to be in place for all the FUT items that includes players, in-forms, consumables and club items that will have the highest and lowest Coin prices for each item in order to be sold in the Transfer Market.

The updated features are as follows (EA Sports):

  • Help FUT gamers understand the value of the players in their Club.
  • Make high-rated players more attainable for all FUT gamers and ensure a level playing field.
  • Further restrict illegitimate coin transfers on the Transfer Market.

There will be a difference in the current prices and the prices from the addition of the new Price Ranges. However, to maintain a level playing field for all, a relative price for other player items on the Transfer Market remains 'consistent,' EA noted.

Players must also note that the Price Ranges feature addition will be coming to PlayStation, Xbox and PC. Now when an item is listed on Transfer Market, the update will show the price range at which the item can be sold. All the prices are arranged by FIFA Team based on analysis of past Transfer Market prices.

Following this updated, there will not be any Open bid transfers. Players will have to set 'Buy It Now' price in the Price Range to list an item on the Transfer Market. All the new 'in-form' FUT player items will receive a Price Range after the release. Future updates will improve and adjust the Price Range of certain players.

EA Sports said that it believes that "the long-term benefits of this new change will make FUT more fun and fair for everyone."

It also noted in its post that players will not be able to access the Transfer Market either from the Web or the Companion Apps.

Fans Angry with FUT Changes

The new Price Ranges feature does not seem to have gone down well with FUT fans. Fans have taken to Twitter and have expressed their anger on the site with #RIPFUT.

"EA do you not realise what you have just done, rest in peace ultimate team, PES here we come!" said a fan.
