EA Sports FC 25 Coins is seemingly gearing up to drop its second Golazo team into Ultimate Team mode, but the developer has made another major mistake today with its latest Squad-Building Challenge. This error isn't quite as bad as the blunder that gave a ton of players an essentially free version of Team of the Year Lionel Messi in January, but it will have implications on the transfer market. Today, EA Sports FC 25 launched a new David Beckham Icon SBC. Traditionally, if you complete those SBCs, you can't trade the player for Coins on the market. They're yours forever. Electronic Arts accidentally made this SBC tradeable, giving players a short window to make a few hundred thousand coins.
EA FC 25 Gives Players Future Stars Icon David Beckham
As mentioned, every Icon SBC EA Sports FC 25 has ever released gave players an untradeable player as the final reward. Until today's David Beckham debacle. Now, the SBC has since been taken down while EA presumably flips the switch to change the reward to untradeable, but players did have a chunk of time where they could quickly complete the SBC's segments and trade him on the open market for north of 300,000 Coins. Of course, they'd have to use a ton of their fodder cards to complete the SBC, but it's probably worth it for players sitting on a bunch of unusable cards.
Either way, this mistake caused David Beckham's Future Stars Icon to drop off a cliff price-wise. Yesterday, the Icon was sitting at around 525,000 Coins on the market. After today's release, the card went down to as low as 375,000 and is currently sitting at right around 395,000 Coins. That is a roughly 35% drop-off in a single day. Sure, the overall market might not be hugely impacted, but the mistake has certainly had an impact on EA Sports buy EA FC Coins.
