MMOEXP: Expansion for upcoming releases like the anticipated FC 25
EA winning this case may start to roll momentum in the publisher's favor as other countries where football (soccer) is the leading sport, eyes what the Dutch high courts have interpreted. Even as some games have implemented a season-based microtransaction model, FC 25 Coins Ultimate Team and other games with loot box mechanics will still be scrutinized heavily.
Recent installments of the FIFA franchise have been heavily criticized for not focusing more time and effort towards the offline game modes that first made the franchise as big as it is today. Before the addition of Ultimate Team, FIFA seemingly ensured that Career Mode was fresh with every title, but recently, it seems as if that focus has shifted to other modes. With FC 25 around the corner, gamers may likely be wondering if there will be any more additions than those introduced in FC 25.
FC 25 ‘s career mode added the Create-A-Club option that proved to be a much-needed breath of fresh air. Gamers could now create a new team, fill it with talented stars, and rise through the ranks to make it a historic team, competing for the top trophies every season. While Create-A-Club did so well in shaking up the franchise, it left some room for improvement and expansion for upcoming releases like the anticipated FC 25.
Back in FIFA ‘08. Career Mode had a feature that let gamers pick a sponsor at the start of the season that would assign certain objectives for the team. The incentive was to increase the budget to purchase players and bring in more star quality to a FC Coins for sale team. In FC 25. however, this sponsorship feature no longer exists; instead, gamers create their team‘s kit without the iconic shirt sponsor featured on the front. It makes the kits feel empty and lacks a certain, needed realism.
