Although not Pro Club specific, EA will be releasing a new patch shortly to address some of the issues raised; mainly security concerns, below has been posted on the FIFA website from EA.
“We’re happy to announce that we will soon be releasing an update for the FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) and EA SPORTS Football Club (EAS FC) areas of FIFA 12. It will become available on Xbox 360 globally and on PlayStation 3 in North America on 13th March, and on PlayStation 3 in Europe and the rest of the world on 14th March,” says a note on the website.
It seems that the bug will be addressing “two very important issues affecting the FUT community,” protecting FUT accounts against phishers and scammers, and the end-of-game disconnects affecting some FUT users on PlayStation 3 and PC.
Ultimate Team has been blamed for a lot of the recent incidents regarding the unauthorised use of Xbox LIVE user accounts, so to tackle this EA has made the following changes in its upcoming patch:
- It will now only be possible to send trade offers to people on your friends list.
- On entering FUT on your console for the first time after the update, you will be required to provide a unique answer to a security question.
- If anyone else attempts to enter your FUT account from a different console, they will be required to enter the answer to your security question.
The patch notes go on to say that while these measures will certainly make life much more difficult for those attempting to compromise others’ accounts, it’s still vitally important that you protect your information.
In addition to the security changes, the latest patch will also address the following issues.
Trading
- To better keep you protected, you can now only send trade offers to friends.
- A new trade notifications system will be deployed.
- A new design will be released for the Trade Feed.
