Players' Complaints About the New EA Sports FC 24 Bundle
The introduction of the $150 bundle has led to dissatisfaction among players as many took to social media to voice their frustrations. Some argued that it is outrageous for the game, which already costs around $129, to offer an FC Points bundle priced even higher. They feel this pricing strategy shows that EA Sports prioritizes profit over its community. One fan expressed that in-game purchases should never exceed the cost of the actual game, calling it “disgusting” and criticizing the direction the company is taking with the game. Another fan echoed this sentiment, stating that the introduction of such an expensive bundle is a sign that FC Points prices will likely increase significantly forthe upcomingEA Sports FC 25.

Additionally, many complain about having to buy a full game and then spend extra money on packs to access in-game benefits. As the debate over the newEA Sports FC 24Points bundle continues, fans hope that EA will consider their feedback and make changes to ensure a better environment for all players.
