FIFA 23 introduces a new anti-cheat system — and fans are mad

FIFA 23 players on PC will receive a completely different experience compared to FIFA 22, as EA launches a new anti-cheat system.

The system, called EA AntiCheat (EAAC), is software that will automatically download with the game.

It will only run when FIFA 23 is running, and it will be uninstalled as soon as you uninstall the game.

EAAC blocks anyone trying to use additional software to edit their games and give them an advantage.

Those who use software to edit their games usually do so to give themselves additional FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) coins.

FUT coins are a type of premium currency that can be used to open FUT Packs and strengthen your online team.

However, giving yourself additional coins can be unfair to other players, who have not hacked their game, or purchased additional coins with real money.

It might seem that this is a win for PC players, as overpowered FUT teams, boosted by ill-gotten coins, have previously made trouble in the online game.

However, it appears that the majority of users are upset about the change.

With growing concern surrounding online privacy and companies installing software on our computers, some feel this is another type of trojan horse.

One user wrote: “It appears EA has decided to include spyware in their new FIFA 23 title that could potentially have access to everything on your computer.

“Even if EA remains honest, it creates a great attack vector for others to exploit. Great job EA!”

EA addressed these concerns in its about EAAC.

It reads: “EAAC does not gather any information about your browsing history, applications that are not connected to EA games, or anything that is not directly related to anti-cheat protection.
