A group of California players has dropped a class-action lawsuit accusing Electronic Arts of secretly using a "Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment" (DDA) to covertly affect the outcome of FIFA: Ultimate Team matches. The group did so after EA proved that the controversial, patented system is not in use in the game.

Some FIFA players have long suspected that patented technology was at work in at least some of their "Ultimate Team" games. To hear these players tell it, the game secretly uses a hidden, scripted "momentum" system to adjust the results of specific shots or touches based on the current state of the game. It's all part of an effort to manipulate players to spend more money on better Ultimate Team player cards, as outlined by that DDA patent. Or so the theory goes.
