After the World Cup was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19, we will finally see a new World Champion this year. After two legs, the four best players of each group advance into the next round FC 24 Coins. As good as it feels to sprint across the virtual pitch at 100 mph, too much pace is pretty bad for the game.
If you want to play Ultimate Team in FC competitively, you always have to fall back on players with a lot of pace – if you want to or not. Agile and incredibly fast footballers have dominated the FUT meta for years, leaving little room for other strategies.
As one Redditor said it perfectly: The faster the players get, the worse the game becomes. If you take a closer look at Ultimate Team over the past few years, you will quickly see that the number of cards with 99 pace has increased significantly. Reddit user u/safatreddit also noticed this – he posted this beautiful graphic here:
However, the data you can see in the picture is no longer entirely up-to-date. Due to new events such as FUT Shapeshifters or Summer Swaps, the number of players with 99 pace has now risen to 74. By the end of FC 24, a few more will probably be added, which then will almost double the number compared to FC 21.
Pace has always been a damn important part of Ultimate Team and always will be. EA Sports can do what they want – so far, no gameplay change has ensured that slower and Fut 24 Coins for sale immobile players are strong meta choices. Number of 99 pace players over the years from FC.
