EA SPORTS kan nu afsløre, at de i kulissen har arbejdet på en opdatering til deres meget poupulære MOD til FIFA 12, FIFA Ultimate Team, samt en mindre opdatering til EA SPORTS FOOTBALL CLUB.
I FUT har flere hidtil måtte se deres kampe blive afbrudt inden slutfløjtet, når de har spillet FUT. Det har primært været YouSees kunder, der har haft dette problem, da YouSee benytter modems, som har haft problemer med at kommunikere med EA's servere. Der var tale om noget data, der ikke nåede frem grundet hardwaren i disse modems.
Dette problem er ifølge EA selv nu fixet, så man nu kan spille alle sine kampe færdig uden at skulle kaste sin controller arrigt i jorden efter at være blevet disconnected. EA lover i den forbindelse en lille kompensation som tak for tålmodigheden:
Since those who were affected most severely suffered a serious degradation of their game experience, we will also be compensating those people with a haul of FUT content significant enough to demonstrate just how thankful we are for sticking with us while we tackled the problem.
Derudover er der også blevet opgraderet gevaldigt indenfor sikkerheden, så problemer som phising og scams skulle blive kraftigt reduceret. Følgenede er blevet tilføjet for at gøre livet en smule sværere for folk med dårlig moral:
- It will now only be possible to send trade offers to people on your friends list.
- On entering FUT on your console for the first time after the update, you will be required to provide a unique answer to a security question.
- If anyone else attempts to enter your FUT account from a different console, they will be required to enter the answer to your security question.
