Some FIFA 23 players are starting to get tired of the same old promotional content within Ultimate Team, and are instead putting their time into Career Mode.
Career Mode is one of the game's timeless modes, allowing managers to take any club to the very top and claim the most coveted trophies in world football.
However, in what can only be described as one of the most bizarre additions to the game mode in recent times, players are being prompted with a very strange message...
Coronavirus injury
As you'll be aware, during your Career Mode journey your players will pick up injuries and setbacks along the way.
The game is always quick to inform managers of any player absences via their email inboxes.
Since the Coronavirus pandemic literally took over the world for two years back in 2020, EA has decided to implement it into the game mode.
However, the informative message bizarrely reads that a player "has suffered a Coronavirus injury and will be out for up to 8 days."
Does EA believe the Coronavirus pandemic was spread through 50/50 challenges on the football pitch?
Effectively, what this email is saying is that players can now be involved in a heavy tackle, feel a knock and come away with Coronavirus...
Show some care, EA
Okay, we know EA doesn't believe that Coronavirus can be spread via tackles on the football pitch, but the careless addition of this feature just sums up their attitude towards the beloved game mode in recent times.
It's widely considered that EA has taken a lazy approach to make improvements within FIFA 23 Career Mode and this episode supports that belief.
Why implement a new feature if you're not going to do it properly?
In this case, EA could not even be bothered to change the wording of the email in order to make the 'Coronavirus injury' make sense.
Yes, fans always love to see new additions to Career Mode, but please take the time, care and attention to implement these with accuracy.
