EA Sports is offering a "special item" to all its FIFA 15 Ultimate Team players, which appears to be a free card of either Messi or Pele.
Both football icons are considered extremely difficult cards to collect on Ultimate Team, but during EA's 2015 press conference, the corporation said existing customers would be given a "special item." As this pledge was made, a picture of both Messi and Pele cards were displayed.
The Ultimate Team bonus content was unveiled after Electronic Arts showcased its latest edition of FIFA, with the focus this year said to be based on balancing the game with more defensive options.
A trailer for the game can be found below.

It's been a long time coming, but EA's FIFA series is finally putting female players into the game.
FIFA 16 will include 12 of the top women's international teams--including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, and the USA--and will be playable across multiple modes. Whilst those modes are yet to be confirmed, EA has stated that women's teams will not be able to be played against men's teams in order to remain "authentic" to real-world football.
The inclusion isn't a mere reskinning of existing players, however. According to FIFA 16 producer Nick Shannon, new technology--including animations, body types, and even hair physics--had to be retooled or created from scratch to accommodate the introduction of female players.
