Not liking this new “wait in line” auction house

Good day, everyone  

This new auction cap is causing cards to be sold at a certain price and the more higher overalls  seem to have more of a wait time being that they’re expensive in the first place, but the fact that there’s so many at the same price in the auction house causes you kinda of having to go through this method where you have to wait in line sorta say 

so say you’re trying to sell a card that’s going for 70,000 there’s 20 others and you basically have to wait and if nobody buys in 24 hrs , you have to start the process all over again. How can anyone obtain coins this way at this pace? I got a 82  overall sitting in the auction house for two days already.

Its just cause its the beginning of the year and ppl are buying packs at a faster rate. If they didnt lock the price ppl would undercut each other til 85s were 120k. Itd crash the market. Once theres more free earned coins from 100ks of players the market will be normal

Just stick to buying platinum cards and don’t ever buy packs.

This is why, I am currently very surprised that price floors & caps on cards have not been adjusted. 

If you reach the point where players are unable to generate a reasonable amount of coins from selling the tradeable cards they pull from packs purchased with points; then you surely you are disincentivizing them from buying packs with points and impacting your live service / micro-transaction revenue?

Or have we reached the point that the player base will buy packs with points regardless of whether they generate coins from player sales? Which seems bizarre to me.

It's the grand scheme. They want to change the attitude about coins. To be fair, it will be a little less annoying when there are more programs and sets. But it's rough right now

One of the Main reasons EA is doing this is to try and stop the coin sellers.  But regardless of what they do people will always find a way so it Hurts Everyone else.  And yes it also Controls the market so Menu guys can't make coins for Free near as easily.  Which also hurts everyone else because people will always find ways to make coins as well.  Now on CFB they lowered the floor on the Main release day so I'm not sure why EA hasn't done the same here.   Definitely Forcing Everyone to Spend Money but why spend money on cards you Can't sell because the market is Flooded by EA themselves.

So stupid, all they need to do is have price caps, not price floors. Thought it would be gotten rid of before the official release but still shit.

i’ve had an 82 that i’ve listed for a day 4 times now. Just gotta be patient and hope lol

Y'all can stop crying now. There are new price floors. If your card doesn't sell now, then QS or throw it into a set.

They hate their community and their customers. That is the only thing you could legitimately take away from the decisions they have made. They want our money and they HATE the fact that they have to give us anything for it.

They might not respect us, but they sure love our money.  Hmm, if only There was something we could do about that….

Sell it for 69,999. Problem solved

Hint hint the cards don’t win you the games…. It’s skill and play calling. cheese plays if you will and understanding the game of football. I’ve built a lil 81 ovr and will smoke anyone around. Nms

Good day 

That’s awesome that you’re so good that you can win with a basic 81 ovr. Team , but for some they are not really interested so much of winning With basic cards They actually want to get the cards and the players that they like  because if that was the case, they can easily pick a 90 plus team over in the regular NFL mode. So it’s more like when they buy the packs they expect to get the coins fast to get the players they like but with the auction house being the way it is , it’s now a time consuming process which doesn’t make spending money on packs worth it In my opinion.

That the thing though… spending money has NEVER done this. It’s a con, a gamble, a mess. It’s so much more obvious then ever how greedy it really is. 
 

tou do know the teams get equalized, right? It’s not simulation mode, it’s competitive. go ahead and check the descriptions under settings… 

so basically, BUY those players u want. Learn to do the challenges and earn all the rewards like the rest of us. There’s no shortcuts. You need to put in hours and learn the new feel and physics of the game.

no wonder I’m smoking fools with full 85 teams, y’all don’t play the game but only know how to get raged and dig into your wallet! HA!!!

What about the people who actually Buy the game to play in the Menu's?  These guys don't care to play much but enjoy the experience of making coins in the auction house.  What's Fun for you isn't necessarily fun for others.  EA is trying to take this part of the game away.
