EA Sports has started the hype train for FC 24. While we already got the cover, the release date (September 30), many new smaller features for Career Mode and Pro Clubs and a lot of changes in Ultimate Team FC 24 Coins, EA has announced that they keep the most hated feature of all: loot boxes.
You probably know what loot boxes are in FUT: packs that could contain Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Kylian Mbappé, but often enough, just show Harry Maguire, Dani Parejo or some other crap after you opened them and hoped for the best.

Belgium started their ban on loot boxes in 2019 and won't feature them in FUT 23. Well... don't get me wrong, EA, but we don't love the concept of gambling or having to pay for the best players in the game. Shocking statement, but still. FC 24 Ultimate Team: EA Announces Massive FUT Changes
So, FC players in Belgium have to grind the transfer market and get the players with coins – and only with coins. Very bad for the pro scene, as Gilles 'Gilles_1996' Bernard (FC World Cup participant) described in an interview with the German sports-website kicker: "FC is a pay-to-win game on a competitive level."
Now, the UK government decided not to legislate loot boxes. So we will see this pay-to-win or as EA likes to call it "surprise mechanics" again in FC 24.In a statement given to Eurogamer Fut 24 Coins for sale, EA said: "giving players the choice to spend if they want to is fair." And that packs in FUT are "a part of FC that players love".
