Auction hub distaste

As we all know the action hub is a mess, minimum prices has ruined trying to sell any card 97 or lower. The worst part is, EA doesnt care enough to fix it. Thats why I’ve never spend a dime on this game since madden 22. I wait till it comes out on gamepass and never buy any points

Seeing more and more of these threads. Does EA realize that this was a terrible idea? You can't keep doing this to your customers and expect people to keep playing this game. They are taking everything away

If these are deliberate moves to elicit loud responses from players so that there is an excuse to remove the auction house I’m done. I’m a money spending player. I crave pulling them LTDs almost like a junkie but I rarely flip a card I don’t already have. I love constantly tinkering making moves team building that’s why I play this game and if I don’t pull the LTD I want I go to the auction house and can usually afford it if they take that away the fun of the game will greatly diminish for me.

Yep EA only makes everything worse, removing the trade block,  this minimum price  stuff? Soon removing the AH and then it’s all over for this game

I’m just waiting for 2026 when they lose exclusive rights and competition will make the game better. Whether it be a better game made by EA or another company

They removes the auction house from the mobile game I wouldn’t be surprised if they did it for the actual game

I can see them using this as an excuse to get rid of the auction block and directing people into using more real money for packs and trying for the best using coins on packs. Madden 25 is going to be even worse

If the auction house is gone so am I. I imagine a lot of people feel this way, and are with me on that. If this is there move toward that we will see how many people stay and play with packs being the only way to get players you want.

follow the money - they’ll make more money if they fix the market. They’ll lower it to 0.5 training to coin ratio or something, probably around when we get set 99s

No friggin kidding, this is very well stated and basically summarizes my unfortunate predicament.  I've been stuck/stranded without Auction House access since December, i've been removed twice this calendar year for "coin distribution" despite NEVER having bought, nor sold any coins from sketchy websites or anywhere that is not direct from EA's own in-game marketplace.  Anyway, my sad tale aside, the team building aspects have basically been removed/restricted from my account and it's absolutely bogus.

I can't believe i kept playing, but was unsuccessful both times i attempted to just quick and walk away.  Trying not to spend anymore cash, but with no other avenues for fielding a squad, i'm sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place.  I should have just started a new account long ago, but I wasn't feeling the grind.  Sorry everyone is having to deal with this mess.  EA wouldn't piss on any of us if we were on fire, they're the absolute worst.

How would they make more $$$ if they lower the training?

1. People will be able to sell cards and generate coins that way

2. If they dont fix the market and its locked like it is, people are forced to buy packs if they want new cards

Am I missing something?

One way to actually fix the market and keep it the same as it is now is to introduce a TVP or some sort of good training roll. Market wouldn't tank as people will want to roll training. Have to make it enticing though (cheap enough and good enough odds).

Dont know why you were restricted. But if you play MUT next year  start with 2 accounts. 

A burner and a clean account?

not being able to sell is stopping people from buying packs, more or less

edit TVP is a great idea - one that returns a certain coin to training ratio is an easy way to fix the ratio without controlling the market so directly

That is a good point.

However, is it me or have the new packs been having better odds?

Like the 99 Aaron Donald pack?

I've never bought a pack in my life, so don't know the odds, but it seems spending on a pack that could contain Donald had really great odds., no?

Maybe thats EAs way to force people to spend to land the new best cards? Increase the odds but make you buy packs to get them?
