Curious on possibilities of changing variables on a video game's web application, in the console section of devtools

Hi there, am not a hacker here, or particularly crazy with computer skills, however something has recently got me interested. The game "Fifa", has a web application which users can access their accounts on. On this web app, their is set caps to certain things, for example the max number of squads you can have or players you can list etc, I'm sure you get the gist even if you dont know the context of these actions. There is a popular exploit going around where you can change the value of one of these variables. You go to console and type

services.User.maxAllowedAuctions=1000 

This now works and has minor benefits, you have whatever number of "maxallowedauctions", until of course you refresh the page. I have spent some time going through some of the functions you can execute in console and have found a few more relevant variables and such, but none of major advantage.

Not 100% sure what exactly i'm asking here, just curious as to what you guys think and is it worth continuing to experiment or any tips. Thank you.
