EA Sports FC 24 Faces Backlash Over TOTY Messi Glitch

Electronic Arts has decided to let players keep their TOTY Lionel Messi cards obtained through a glitch, amidst community dissatisfaction.

EA Sports FC 24 addressed the TOTY Messi mistake, allowing players to keep the glitched cards but not offering further compensation.
The glitch occurred due to a bugged Squad Building Challenge, giving players a high chance of obtaining the rare Messi card.
The challenge was online for only 24 minutes before being pulled, but it affected an estimated 0.7% of Ultimate Team players.
Community reaction has been largely negative, with calls for more transparency and fairness in handling the situation.
EA Sports is exploring options to prevent similar issues in the future, but has not announced specific plans.
