Ballon d'Or Event - Two Major Glitches That Occurred This Week
The highly anticipated Ballon d'Or Event has entered its third week today, on December 5th, bringing exciting updates such as new players and the unlocking of a new weekly path. However, along with these new additions, players have experienced some significant glitches and bugs in the game that need attention. Let’s dive into the two most notable glitches that occurred during this week’s event.
1. Glitch in New Players’ Weak Foot Ratings
This glitch mainly affected the normal live players that were added to the game recently as part of the Ballon d'Or event update. While the icons and heroes added to the game did not have any issues, there was an unusual bug with the latest normal live players. These players were mistakenly given a strong left foot and a 4-star right foot rating.
For example, you could see 5-star left foot and 4-star right foot for every new normal live player, even if their actual foot preference in real life was different. Players like Vini Jr., who naturally has a strong right foot, were unexpectedly given a strong left foot rating. While this was a fun quirk for some, it caused confusion and seemed like a clear glitch. The glitch has since been fixed, but it raised questions about the consistency of player ratings and the need for further adjustments in future updates.
2. Glitch in the Ballon d'Or Event Main Chapter (Weekly Path)
The second glitch that arose occurred in the Ballon d'Or event’s main chapter, specifically within the 3rd week of the weekly path. In this path, there is a sequence where players need to complete a match followed by a skill game. Normally, completing the skill game rewards you with 110 vote tickets, but the game had a major bug after the refresh.
For a brief period, due to a glitch, players were able to play the skill game multiple times, contrary to the usual restriction of only playing it once. This led to the unexpected reward of more than 110 vote tickets, allowing players to claim far more than intended. While this glitch was certainly a bonus for players who were able to take advantage of it, it also created an imbalance in the event's progression.
Speculation About Possible Compensation
Given the scale of these glitches, many players are speculating that EA might provide compensation gifts to address the situation. While there hasn’t been any official confirmation from EA yet, it’s not uncommon for the developers to offer rewards or gifts as compensation for disruptions caused by glitches. Whether it’s extra vote tickets or other event-related rewards, players are hopeful that a compensation package will be announced soon.
Conclusion - Glitches and Potential Fixes
While glitches like these can sometimes offer a temporary advantage to players, they also highlight the need for constant monitoring and patching by the developers. These two glitches in the Ballon d'Or event — one affecting player ratings and the other impacting the weekly path rewards — have caused quite a stir in the community. Fortunately, the issues seem to have been addressed quickly, with fixes being rolled out.
For now, players should keep an eye on official announcements from EA regarding potential compensation. Whether or not a gift package arrives, these glitches have reminded everyone of the importance of a smooth and fair gaming experience.
