Video proof?!? I mean this could just be an EA Dev though or an actual employee? Who knows anymore. It’s all allegations, let’s just hope EA makes a statement on this and stays honest with us. #FUT21 #FIFA21 pic.twitter.com/lzqGMDE5S3

Icon cards are some of the rarest in FIFA Ultimate Team. They include legendary players such as Brazilian Ronaldo, Pele, Zinedine Zidane and Ruud Gullit. They’re also almost impossible to obtain through the game’s controversial loot boxes.
EAGate is now trending on Twitter, as this perpetuates a corrupt and unfair situation for other players. EA has since responded to the allegations, confirming that they have launched an investigation.
“We are aware of the allegations currently circulating within our community related to FIFA 21 Ultimate Team items.
A thorough investigation is underway, and if we identify improper conduct, we will take swift action.
We want to be clear – this type of behaviour is unacceptable, and we in no way condone what is alleged to have happened here.
We understand how this creates concern about unfair balance in the game and competition.
We will update the community as we get more clarity on the situation.”
