New Unis

Recently Fifa has been trying to go outside the box and enticing players to continue playing. One of the ways they have done this is by adding different rewards other than coins for completing various tasks. 

Originally they just had a jersey for winning the division 1 title. The jersey is pretty fresh. It's mostly black with some gold trim and "EA SPORTS" across the chest. I won these jerseys a few weeks ago and obviously had to make them one of my two kits. Before I had won it I was always a bit hesitant to play someone who was wearing this jersey. Because typically if you've won division 1 you're pretty good. So as I started wearing these I noticed people would leave the game more often because they knew I had won division 1 so obviously they would rather search for a new game without someone who won division 1.

More recently in honor of ultimate team's 7th year of existence they released a tournament with different prizes for each win. The first win was another jersey. Honestly I didn't even think this one was that sick but having it just gives you that status as a boss. I managed to win the tournament on my first try so I got the gold kit and then both my kits were ones you needed to earn which I thought was pretty cool. I tried to win the tournament again because you got better rewards each time you won but I just couldn't, I went into some kind of fifa drought where I just couldn't win a game.

I really like what Fifa is doing with rewards other than coins, it really does make people want to win these unique prizes that most people will not have. Unfortunately when I was using both these kits as my game kits, half of my games I connected to the player would quit after seeing I had one or both of these. So since I have changed to regular kits that you just buy with coins. 

I think it would be good if you were forced to use a light kit for home and a dark kit for away so that the opponent doesn't see your kit. And you also won't come up against a team with the same kit. This change definitely wouldn't come this year but it could be a possible change to next year if EA want's to continue making these cool rewards.
