Gamers can look forward to a line-up from Lionel Messi

Dec 15, 2014 22:13 GMT  ·  By

The development team at EA Sports has recently launched a promotion for FIFA 15 which sees Lionel Messi of Barcelona facing off against Eden Hazard of Chelsea, and the company is now allowing all players to take a look at the Ultimate Team Legends that the Belgian star has assembled to use in the football simulation.

Gamers can take a look at the video to see whom the playmaker has chosen to use on the pitch, along with detailed explanations for each position and info on his playing philosophy.

EA Sports is also launching a special contest associated with this Ultimate Team Legends package.

The official announcement states that "All you have to do is play one match against this squad of superstars on Xbox One or Xbox 360. Win, draw or lose – complete a match against Hazard’s XI and you’ll be entered into our sweepstake to win one of the following prizes: Win Hazard’s full Legends squad (items will be untradeable), A regular Hazard FUT item (tradeable), Signed Hazard Chelsea shirt or Signed giant Hazard Teal item."

The new offer is part of the 15 Days of FIFA 15 promotional effort that is running until December 25, designed to show the community the kinds of experiences that the title can offer and give them access to some special content.

Given that Eden Hazard is in direct competition with Lionel Messi, EA Sports will probably also allow the Barcelona superstar to show off his own Ultimate Team Legends line-up, which will probably feature an entirely new set of players.

FIFA 15 is offering a special Holiday Edition

Those who have not yet picked up FIFA 15 can now use any digital outlet, on the PC, the Xbox One, or the PlayStation 4, to get access to the Holiday Edition.

This introduces some extra currency which they can spend in-game, more moves to celebrate when they score goals, and access to Messi as a loaned player in order to kick-start the performance of their own Ultimate Team.

EA Sports has not said when the package will no longer be offered.

Recently, the game has received its third major title update, which has fixed some problems flagged by the community and has made some changes to how crosses work and to the way players position themselves on the defensive.

The studio is also launching weekly Ultimate Team packages and says that it has plans to continue to offer support in the long term.
