Cormier didn’t provide an in-depth clarification, but it is clear from his tweet that his friend, Shane, has defeated the UFC legend multiple times with the help of Kylian Mbappe in the game. The 44-year-old even contacted EA and was told that Shane’s tactics were hard to stop. The response has left Cormier helpless, which is why he is walking away from the game.
EA FC 24 was released back on September 29, 2023. Kylian Mbappe is one of the highest-rated games, with a rating of 91. He has a 97 pace in the game, which is one of the attributes that can be effectively utilized by gamers to frustrate other players.
What is the ‘Mbappe’ glitch in EA FC 24?
The glitch claim from Cormier has been met with mixed reactions from fans in the gaming community. There is currently no popular glitch involving Kylian Mbappe in the game. However, it has been acknowledged by many that the PSG superstar is an unplayable character in the game.
Mbappe is one of the quickest players in the world. The same ability has been recreated in the game, which has resulted in some mismatches in the game. Players who have Mbappe in their Ultimate team or play with PSG or France in the normal kickoff mode have an unfair advantage in the game.
