2025 appears to have seen the wildest possible opportunity for EFC 25where an occasional glitch resulted in players being gifted a copy of the Erling Haaland Winter Wildcards in Ultimate Team.
The incident was first reported after the content update time (6pm UK time) on January 4 when the NumeroFUT promo went live. Incidentally, the glitch was caused by a free pack that is part of an ongoing goal. It’s safe to say that those who managed to complete the goal late were rewarded with a New Year’s gift.
EA FC 25 Erling Haaland Winter Wildcards glitch explained
It all starts with the goal of completing Season 4’s weekly playthrough, which rewards players with special packs. To get these packs, players have to complete certain tasks each week. So far, players have been able to complete Week 1’s objective quests, which reward players with a guaranteed Winter Wildcards/Winter Wildcards Hero Pack.
This pack in itself is very special, as you are guaranteed to receive a promo card (excluding icons). However, those who managed to either save the set or complete it in time were almost guaranteed to obtain Erling Haaland’s Winter Wildcards. Most of those who opened the package late ended up getting the ST version of the Norwegian striker.
As of writing, the card costs over 1 million coins on the Ultimate Team market. Technically, someone could have been incredibly lucky and ended up receiving the item from the package. However, what happened tonight is definitely a glitch. It reminds me of a similar incident that happened last year in January when the SBC inexplicably ended up giving Totti Messi card For many.
It remains to be seen whether EA Sports will take any action on what happened and whether there will be some sort of compensation in the future.
