In calculating how long it would take, they estimate that players would have to put in round 22.000 hours of continuous, 24/7 gameplay, which is the equivalent of around 916 days, or two and a half years. This challenge comes not long after EA Sports President Peter Moore said FC 25 Coins Ultimate Team loot boxes were not considered gambling. However, gambling or not, ScudzTV said they would have to pay out nearly £80.000 in total for their team, which is around $111.400 US.
Earlier this month, EA launched an investigation after it was alleged that employees at the company were selling rare FC 25 Ultimate Team cards to gamers, some of which were going for thousands of dollars. The situation caught the attention of the publishing house after fans on Twitter helped get the hashtag EAGate trending, which led EA to give a statement saying it would bring to justice those who had committed the illicit act, as well as ban the players who had bought them at any point.
With what ScudzTV is telling people on Twitter, many may not be surprised by how much time, effort and/or money needs to poured into an EA-published game in order to get the most out of it. The controversy around loot boxes in FIFA, and other games, still rages on, with some countries, such as Canada, filing a lawsuit against EA over damages brought on by them. What's been laid out before everyone regarding how long it would take, and how much it would potentially cost, to put together a dream FC 25 Ultimate Team squad once again does not shine a good light on EA's business practices.
Last week, EA found itself embroiled in a scandal after it came to light that at least one company employee had been clandestinely selling buy Fut 25 Coins Ultimate Team card packs, which contain incredibly rare cards with low drop rates, for between $1000-2500. On Twitter, EAGate started trending as news began to spread about this questionable activity and many gamers, particularly those who had spent large amounts of money trying to obtain these rare FC 25 Ultimate Team cards the officially sanctioned way, spoke out in anger.
