EA is having to re-jig much of its planned FIFA Ultimate Team promotions with real-world football paused due to the coronavirus. Now, it’s had to change one of its most popular annual events.
EA runs a Team of the Season promo as the real-world league seasons come to an end, adding special cards with increased stats for players deemed to have played well enough to make the Team of the Season for each league featured.
It’s one of the most popular FUT promotions of the year, and usually sparks increased interest from FUT fans in the current game as EA looks to reveal the next FIFA in the series.
But with the coronavirus putting a halt to football across the globe, EA has been forced to rename Team of the Season to Team of the Season So Far – or the tongue-twister TOTSSF for short.
“While both football and the world at large find themselves in unprecedented times, Team of the Season So Far is the chance to celebrate the best players in each league so far this season,” EA said in a blog post.
