EA has released an update on the situation, and it's a complete joke. They keep blaming the perpetrators of this black market, that has been created from within their own company, for "upsetting the game balance" and making it "unfair" and "frustrating" for players. No EA, it's the egregious, pay-to-win nature of FIFA Ultimate Team that does all that. All this black market offers is another way to buy these cards that's better than buying your loot boxes. Yes, it is still shady, wrong and obviously against the rules, but EA needs to take responsibility and accept the blame for creating a situation whare paying $2000 directly for a FUT card is better that trying one's luck with their slot machine. YongYea breaks down the statement in more detail if you care to watch the vid.
