EA has disabled an EA Sports FC 24 perk in order to resolve an issue that gave some players an unfair advantage in the game.
The newly discovered glitch in the football simulation surfaced earlier in the week, allowing dribblers with the Trickster playing style to attach the ball to their calf then simply run into the opponent’s net to score.

After initially admitting the issue was a problem, EA has now confirmed that it has “temporarily removed” the FUT perk to prevent players from exploiting the bug in competitive play.
“In order to prevent this issue from occurring, we have temporarily removed the Trickster+ playstyle from Ultimate Team Player items. They now have Trickster instead,” EA Sports confirmed on social media.
“Once this issue has been resolved in a future title update, we will look to add Trickster+ to applicable player items.”

As of now, there is no confirmation as to when the issue may be “resolved” and for now, EA has only committed to a “future title update.”
Despite this, the game attracted more than 11 million players in its first week, making it the biggest “launch period” ever for the fan-favorite sports series.
