    Anyone play Fifa 13 etc and use fifa coins?

    a while ago my son bought fifa 13 bonus edition that came with 2200 fifa coins. He spent these pretty quickly. leaving 25 coins unspent.

    But this morning he has discovered that he suddenly has a balance of 2225. Somehow he has acquired an additional 2200 coins and he claims he doesnt know how. My obvious concern is that he has deliberately/accidentally bought them, but i dont know how as i dont have a payment method assigned to his xbox account. I have logged into his fifa 13 FUT team on PC whih shows the balance, but i cannot locate any transaction history showing how they got there, nor have i received any emails from EA Sports or Xbox confirming any purchase

    Can anyone offer any explanation as to what might have happenend, or how i can find out the origin of the coins.

    TIA

    my mistake - its actually 2200 fifa points he got, which you normally have to pay for. Google suggests it has happened to a few people. Best spend them before the find out - have a value of about £13

    Hiya mate - this happened to me also. Didn't know how or why at the time, but I had fun spending them, and put together a very good team.

    Thanks mate

    Was worried that somehow my son had purchased them without realising or that something had been hacked

    I think you can get your mates to send you them too but I'm not sure. I heard someone asking to be sent some today at college, strangely.

    I always buy the Fifa games a year behind, saves me some pennies seeing as it's basically the same game year in, year out!
