The current situation around FIFA 23 Ultimate Team perfectly shows that the operation of the online market can be quickly influenced even in a few tens of minutes. Over the past few days, the developers have managed to drop the price of the FIFA 23 Hero Pack, which contains Hero Cards, to a ridiculously low cost for 25 minutes, which of course sparked a buying frenzy. This led to the subsequent flooding of the market with legendary cards, the price of which began to plummet due to excess pressure. Where previously some items could be sold for millions of in-game currency, today they can be bought for tens of thousands, which is a big disaster for the in-game economy. EA comments on the situation as a mistake that nothing can be done about because the damage has already been done. Some in the community see this move as manipulation to disrupt the market.
The FIFA 23 Hero Pack that was mistakenly released by EA revealed that players had millions of coins worth of in-game currency erased from FIFA 23 Ultimate Team. https://t.co/da6iPSGcsr pic.twitter.com/3jAx660Frk
