EA compensate FIFA 22 players for Mid/Prime Icon Player Pick mistake but some miss out

After mistakingly including Prime Icon Moments player items in Mid/Prime Icon Player Picks, EA has begun compensating impacted FIFA 22 players.

EA Sports released a Mid/Prime Icon Squad Building Challenge in FIFA 22 on Friday, March 11, 2022. But the reward mistakingly gave some players the ability to pick a Prime Icon Moments player items in their Mid/Prime Icon Player Picks, with EA announcing hours later that they would be following up with the impacted players, after removing the Icon Moments player items from the Player Pick.

EA Sports are beginning to roll out the compensation for the players who received a Prime Icon Moments player item in their pick of three players, but players who opened the Icon Pick and didn't receive the option of a Prime Icon Moments have not received reimbursement, leaving many FUT players furious.

Many FIFA 22 players are asking for everyone who completed the SBC to receive compensation, with players who received a Prime Icon Moments player item receiving a better item than the Mid/Prime Icons, giving them an advantageous reward. What exacerbates this issue is that these players who benefitted from the mistake the first time around will benefit again by being awarded compensation in the form of an additional Mid/Prime Player Pick, despite having received a rarer item in the first instance by mistake.

It's also being argued by players that the addition of Prime Icon Moments player items in the Player Pick could have impacted the odds of receiving one of the higher-rated Mid/Prime Icons available from the Player Pick.
