Locked out of Ultimate team, anyone else?

We're hopeless, helpless MUT junkies, my friend. No one is coming to save us. I'm curious if it's even feasible to get banned from AH this year, the ridiculously tight Min/Max price ranges that EA's economists have set are pathetic. 

I love the idea of eliminating scalpers, but that's kind of where I tend to live. I just don't have it in me to sit around and build team playbook sets for ~4k coins or whatever virtual wr0k some of these guys are into. 

I'm not above having a spreadsheet here or there to inform myself, but I'll be damned if I'm churning out P&L statements for my Madden activities. Not here trying to get an advanced MUT Economics degree, but I'm also trying to fund this addiction without constantly having to explain to my wife why we need a thousand dollars worth of virtual playing cards yet again this season. 

My beloved 49ers are terrible, this is all I've got left now, taking out my frustrations on the virtual gridiron. Was hoping Santa would bring us a PS5 Pro for Xmas, but despite M25 being listed on the "enhanced" games, I'm not sure there's even a 120Hz mode. 🤬

This along with your last post is making me happy that I don’t spend every ounce of my day working that worthless auction house. Maybe if the useless pay-pigs keep feeding EA money, we might get a 60hz version on most consoles without all the bugs. Still think that’s wishful thinking.

I don’t know if I can justify a $500 purchase for the pro and disc drive after trade in right now. I need to see people using it and the upgrade be noticeable. The list isn’t bad for enhanced games to me. Especially since it includes Madden if all the games are actually enhanced that is. I wouldn’t complain if they continue to add more games to the list either but it might be awhile before all those requirements can be checked off. Hopefully by the long awaited highly anticipated Madden 26 releases the PS5 Pro will be worth it and we will all be blissfully anticipating the next zero chill. This will all be a distant fading memory of bad times long forgotten.

MUT economics you say? I would take that course. I would read that textbook and do extra spreadsheets in my spare time. I wouldn’t even ask for extra credit. First rule of MUT economics have a separate account your wife can’t see.

Don’t look over here when you’re talking about spending too much time working the AH and questioning our life choices as a result. We don’t talk about Bruno.

the price cap is terrible for a lot of reasons, but i do appreciate the security of knowing i cant get banned for sniping, and also helped me spend less time on the auction house and delete the companion app since flipping became less profitable.

I have used the companion app for years and still have yet to have any issues, and I do at least work the auction house with it so I can least see what cards were selling for anywhere from 2-48 hours previously. It is still profitable as well if you know what your doing, as I made 6 million over the blitz promo and maybe spent a collective 3 hours from Thursday to Monday flipping cards. You just have be conservative and not aim make more then 25% ROI on your flips on avg and you'll typically be fine.

i’m glad it’s been profitable for you. i will say the game has been more engaging and fun lately.
