14 DAY TRIAL // Video game developer EA Sports is announcing that this week it is aiming to celebrate the six year anniversary of the Ultimate Team game mode for FIFA 15 by launching a new major event associated with it and by offering the player base a chance to get access to a range of players.
Until March 29, all fans will be able to get one free pack every single day as long as they log into the football sim, each of them an occasion to get access to the biggest stars of the sport.
A special Birthday Cup for FIFA 15 Ultimate Team is also introduced, with each gamer able to get a rare tradable in-form version of players that were included in previous Team of the Week packages.
Gamers can get access to superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, two types of Lionel Messi, one upgraded and one not, Neuer, Philip Lahm, and many more.
In order to qualify, gamers need to play at least one match of FIFA 15 Ultimate Team during the week, and the official store is also introducing new player packs every day, with EA Sports set to give out more details about them on social media.
Ultimate Team is the most important long-term attraction of the series at the moment
Ultimate Team was largely ignored by the public when it was first introduced because it seemed like just another way to attract attention to the already well developed multiplayer element of the FIFA experience.
Six years later, the mode has become one of the main reasons why a lot of fans are picking up the EA Sports football simulator and vast sums are spent in order to secure access to the best players and to create a competitive team.
Recently, the developers have introduced an entirely new Price Range concept, placing upper and lower limits for all players, with the long-term expectation that they will make the playing field more level for all those involved.
FIFA 15 has also received a fourth major title update, mostly concerned with stability, and EA Sports is at the moment also working on the version of the title that is supposed to be launched later in 2015.
No details about it have been offered so far, but gamers will probably be able to pick it up in late September.
