What:
I worked on FIFA Ultimate Team during the FIFA 14 cycle, supporting both gameplay quality and the integrity of the live player economy.
Why:
FUT was one of FIFA’s most important modes for both engagement and revenue, so stability, fairness, and launch readiness directly affected player trust.
How:
I moved from part-time QA on FIFA 13 into full-time testing on FIFA 14, covering regression, next-gen compatibility, and later fraud investigation work tied to FUT’s online systems.
