14 DAY TRIAL // The mysterious new feature that EA Sports has been teasing with its earlier announcement about a maintenance period for FIFA 15 and the Ultimate Team is a new Price Range concept for the game mode, designed to make sure that open bids are no longer used by the community and there's a clear image about how much each item offered will cost.
Developers are aiming to make sure that all gamers will be able to quickly know how much the players in their own teams cost, while giving them more chances to pick up the highest rated stars that can be used to boost any line-up.
EA Sports is also trying to make sure that all illegitimate activity linked to the FIFA 15 transfer market becomes even harder to conduct in order to make sure that all community members abide by the official rules.
The official announcement explains that "Although the new FUT item Price Ranges will differ from current prices, their relative value to other player items on the Transfer Market will remain consistent in order to maintain a level playing field for everyone."
EA Sports says that the prices it will set will be the same across all platforms and that extensive analysis has been used to determine them.
Trading will remain fun because, as the examples in the images attached to this article show, the range is open enough to make buying and selling an exciting moment for gamers.
The studio also says that it will tweak the values based on the way the market reacts in the coming weeks.
At the same time, gamers are expected to deliver their feedback and to explain how the Ultimate Team transfer market can be improved in the future.
The Transfer Market also remains inaccessible from the app and the web
This decision is designed to improve overall security, especially given the increasing number of accounts that seek to take advantage of players and access their accounts without permission.
It will be interesting to see how the community will react to the announcement of the new Price Range concept for Ultimate Team.
The most hardcore of fans will probably be disappointed with the restrictions, but for most of the fans, this is a good change because it will make it easier for them to get access to better players in the coming weeks.
