Overview

  • EA Sports FC 24's Team of the Year promotion resulted in a glitch that gave out an excessive number of Lionel Messi cards, one of the most valuable in the game.
  • The glitch occurred during a Squad Building Challenge (SBC) that was supposed to offer three picks of 86+ overall cards, but many players were offered a 97-rated Messi card.
  • The SBC was quickly disabled by EA Sports after they identified the issue, but not before a significant number of players had completed the challenge and received the Messi card.
  • Players who missed out on the glitch are upset, as they now face opponents who have an unfair advantage with the Messi card in their teams.
  • There is ongoing debate about how EA Sports should rectify the situation, with suggestions ranging from giving everyone a Messi card to removing the card from the game entirely.
