do we need the trade block

Mainly the grinders are upset. Luckily I never grind like that

It was vital to the community, it was nice to be able to try out a card from my friend to see if I wanted to buy him. Or if my friends needed cards for sets and I needed cards for sets we could swap and do the set we wanted ie team diamonds. Say I needed charger players and my friend needed the chiefs players. We could help each other and both get the cards we wanted

Buy the card you want and sell the one you don't.  Trading cheap cards to your friend is the main reason this is gone

Yeah but for a reason you (or nobody really) should be happy about. EA wants his friends money. Why do we give a damn what EA wants, or think its ok they have the audacity to want MORE money when they consistently put out more and more broken garbage and put no effort into pretending to care? Hell with them.

They are a business.  They want as much money as they can get, as they should.  Can you name a successful business that doesn't care about making money?  You can say you don't care what they want, but you still play the game.  Lots of people still throw money at it.  They don't care if people complain, as long as enough still keep buying those bundles.

Just another thing on the long list of things that they took away because people couldn't behave.

you could do that, but say you spend 300 k to try a card, you repost for 300k, it sales you get 270k. losing 30 k, that can get expensive when youre trying the big boy cards that are like a mill and you lose 300k off of taxes. trading cheap cards i get, but trading sets with your friends should be allowed, if i got the pieces my friend needs for his set and he has the pieces i need for mine, why isnt that considered a fair trade and fair use of the trade block?

thats 100 percent true, but if we're just okay with the no trade block, they will 100 percent take away the auction house like 2k did. it would put an end to coin selling 100 percent. now imagine playing mut without the auction block or trade block, no one would play it besides youtubers and streamers. and they would eventually stop cause no one would care. madden doesnt have a feature in the game like the park like 2k does.

I think trading with friends is fair but at the end of the day, EA doesn't really give a damn and the way we feel about the trading block doesn't really matter to them. I never used it but it sucks for the people who did use it the right way since they also get punished.

We don’t need it, but we’d like it.

I think anyone who trades a million coin card to begin with is making some questionable decisions.  You know this is abused by 95% of the community, so let's not try and make it seem like big bad EA is out to hurt innocent people.  They are making money in a business created to make money.  Every time I see someone defending it, it shows who was probably abusing it to begin with.

no theyre not, the people i would do it with ive known since mut 12, weve played every mut together and would swap our high value cards for another to try them and see if they fit our scheme or not. yeah the trade block was abused by certain people, but people like myself and my friends didnt abuse it. You can make a even stronger case of people abusing the auction block. People price lock cards, People sell coaches and random players who dont have a price cap for outrageous amounts of coins to sell for real life money, im telling you the next thing to go is the auction block. and when that happens you're not gonna have the same tune, we just saw 2k do it, you dont think ea wont do it to increase profits from coin selling being eliminated 100 percent?

i only used it with my friends because the real purpose behind it died, no one was ever making real trades theyd always offer bs ever since like mut 16. but it just sucks that you and your friends cant really help each other, cant help with sets, cant try cards you dont have or they dont have, it just takes away from the experience of helping and gaming with your buddies.

i mean if u rlly wanna game with the boys you can just play solo challenges together

The solution was to make cards that quicksell for coins to not be tradeable and all cards traded have a quicksell value for 1.

boom.
