They have received incorrect versions of the cards in FC 25

The two players at the center of the issue being reported by fans are Giovanni Reyna and Reece James. Fans claim that they have received incorrect versions of the cards in FC 25 Coins . with different stats and positions listed from what should have been rewarded. This can make a big difference as players try to build their Ultimate Team.

EA has come under fire for its FC Ultimate Team mode in the past, with a lawsuit filed in California alleging Ultimate Team is rigged to encourage more loot box purchases. While this incident involving incorrect stats appears to be a mistake that can be remedied, it erodes trust in the user base. If folks were duped here, is it possible there have been other cards that are inaccurate?

That EA is being upfront about its investigation into the matter is a good sign, as transparency and open dialogue are highly valued by game communities. When Call of Duty's developers failed to address fan claims that a MAC-10 blueprint was "pay-to-win," players felt cheated and expressed their displeasure.

In many cases it is hard to prove if this is happening, but even the possibility of tampering sows seeds of doubt. With that said, EA is looking into the issue with the incorrect cards and will keep players informed.
