Fifa 18 Freebies In-Game Rewards World Cup Content And Football Season Promotions

Electronic Arts' FIFA 18 offers numerous free content opportunities and promotional benefits for players and football enthusiasts. From daily login rewards and in-game content to free World Cup updates and football season promotions, FIFA 18 provides various ways for fans to enjoy the game without additional cost. This article explores the different freebies, promotional offers, and resources available to FIFA 18 players and football fans.

Daily Freebies and Rewards in FIFA 18

FIFA 18 Ultimate Team mode provides several opportunities for players to receive complimentary items simply by engaging with the game. One of the most accessible methods is through daily login rewards. Players who sign in to the FIFA web app or game regularly may receive different prizes each day. These rewards have included mixed contract packs, bronze packs, and 1000 coins in-game currency. The value and type of rewards vary, with some being more useful than others depending on the player's needs and progression in the game.

These daily freebies are particularly valuable for players working toward long-term goals in Squad Building Challenges (SBC), as bronze packs can provide useful materials for completing these objectives. The availability of such rewards tends to increase during special periods, such as the lead-up to Christmas and at the back end of the season, coinciding with Team Of The Year items.

In addition to daily login rewards, FIFA 18 introduces Daily and Weekly Objectives that provide regular tasks for players to complete. These objectives update regularly and offer rewards upon completion, such as silver gift packs containing four cards. Examples of objectives include scoring two goals with players from the Bundesliga, buying a player, applying a fitness consumable, or extending a player's contract.

Many of these objectives can be completed through the FIFA 18 web app, making it convenient for players to manage their team and earn rewards without necessarily playing full matches. This system encourages regular engagement with the game and provides consistent opportunities for players to enhance their Ultimate Team without additional financial investment.

FIFA 18 Web App Features and Benefits

The FIFA 18 web app serves as a complimentary extension of the main game, available to all players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC at no additional cost. While some elements of the main game are missing, such as the ability to play actual matches or view leaderboards, most features of FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) are accessible through the web app.

One significant advantage of the web app is the ability to manage your team more efficiently than on console platforms. Players can buy packs using in-game coins or FIFA points (though points themselves can't be purchased through the app), sort through all players, staff, club items, and consumables, and perform various advanced management tasks.

The web app also provides enhanced tools for managing transfer targets. Unlike the console version, the app allows players to click on a player and select "Compare Price," which displays all available cards and their costs in a list format rather than requiring players to cycle through cards one by one. Tracking active bids is also more user-friendly, with Active Bids, Watched Items, Won Items, and Expired Items all visible on a single screen.

Squad Building Challenges (SBC) are another important feature accessible through the web app. The 'SBC' button in the left-hand menu displays all available challenges, with already completed challenges shown in blue and uncompleted ones in white. From this hub, players can see the specifications for each challenge and submit them once the requirements are met. Although experimenting with the required cards is slightly more cumbersome on the web app compared to the in-game equivalent, it remains a valuable tool for managing SBCs.

For players interested in premium content, the web app allows viewing of the current Team Of The Week (TOTW) and cycling through past TOTWs and other limited-edition squads, such as the One To Watch XI. This feature is particularly useful for players who have saved enough in-game currency to afford elite cards.

Free World Cup Update for FIFA 18

In a significant departure from tradition, Electronic Arts announced that it would not release a dedicated World Cup game in 2018, marking the first time in 20 years that the company has veered from this practice. Instead, EA planned to launch a free World Cup update to FIFA 18 for all platforms, including PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.

This free update, released on May 29, includes comprehensive World Cup content that would have previously constituted a separate retail product. The update features full rosters of all 32 qualified countries, the 12 Russian stadiums that hosted the World Cup matches, official kits and tournament balls, and new celebration cinematics.

This represents a substantial offering for a free update, providing players with an authentic World Cup experience without requiring additional purchase. While the business strategy behind this decision likely involves generating additional revenue through Ultimate Team microtransactions, the result is a win for consumers who receive significant content at no cost.

The free World Cup update allows FIFA 18 players to experience the excitement of the actual tournament within the game, including using their favorite national teams in the official venues with authentic equipment and celebrations. This update extends the value of the base FIFA 18 game and provides ongoing content for players interested in international football competition.

Football Season Promotions at Various Venues

Beyond the digital realm, various establishments offer football-related promotions and freebies to fans during the football season. These promotions provide opportunities for fans to engage with the sport in social settings while enjoying complimentary items and special offers.

Conclusion

From daily login rewards and in-game objectives to a comprehensive free World Cup update, the game provides ongoing value to its player base. The web app extends these benefits by offering convenient team management and additional features not available on console platforms.

These freebies and promotional opportunities enhance the FIFA experience for players and fans alike, providing value beyond the initial game purchase and making football content more accessible to a broader audience.
