Currently, a bug is allowing FUT players to collect Rush Rewards in no time at all. You don’t even have to play the Volta successor to do that.
“Trailblazers against TOTW” is the motto under which EA SPORTS is currently trying to get Ultimate Team players interested in Rush mode. The aim is to complete ten games in the corresponding event – one game each with a “Trailblazer” item and an item from the Team of the Week. The reward: two player choices and a few packs with items of a guaranteed minimum rating.
Pack flood for every game canceled
While hunting for the rewards, some players noticed a curious bug over the weekend. Normally, if a game has to be completed in full to fulfill the tasks, an error seems to have crept in in this case. Because even games that are abandoned immediately after the kick-off are reflected in the statistics. This is how numerous players got and are getting the rewards in record time.
The community’s reaction to the mishap has been mixed. Players who don’t get on with Rush are thrilled. The X-User ‘IamFrench’, for example, calls the small field kick the “worst mode” and therefore thanks the account ‘Armellica’, which spread the fact with a wide-reaching post on the short message service.
Rush fans who wanted to play the mode regularly had to live with numerous AI teammates and opponents or even game crashes. “I was wondering why everyone quit after starting the game,” commented ‘ChristopB_96’, for example.
Symptom of a worrying development?
In fact, the bug and the widespread exploitation of the loophole are representative of a circumstance that has been observed time and again in recent years: The primary motivation for a not insignificant number of FUT fans to play FC 25 seems to be in-game rewards rather than enjoying the gameplay itself. So EA SPORTS should take a closer look at the current bug, and not just from a technical point of view.
