Why are you so tight with your coins? Shouldn't you just spend them when you see a card you want? I notice that no matter what, you're never gonna be a step ahead of anyone in Ultimate Team. For every expensive card, there's a free card or regular card that's almost has the same attributes but with a different name. Then all cards lose big time value over time. So why are you holding tight to your coins?

To each their own. Why bother wasting your time concerning yourself with what others choose to do?

gotta be able to do a mix of both, if you are constantly chasing the meta theme team or new cards you'll constantly have no time or no coins and possibly even be spending a lot of irl money. If you stick to a theme team though, it makes it easier to stack coins for when your team does get cards, and is it really worth saving 100k by waiting a week to play with a card you want?

You don't seem to understand how the MUT economy works, nor the edge you can get by buying smart. And your statement even seems to contradict itself: You admit that inflation takes a bite out of your lineup's value, but then suggest that spending for items has the better value.
A lot of users avoid spending coins below a certain minimum to ensure they can maintain a "coinstack". I made around a million coins today through a variety of transactions, and crested 96 OVR with my lineup long enough to update my binder. I then promptly sold the Ronnie Lott that got me there, making about 100,000 coins on the flip, and getting me back above 10 million. You simply cannot have that sort of versatility when you're trying to navigate MUT with a half-million coins.
Coins are the currency that doesn't get killed by inflation: As the cost of training drops throughout the year, the cost of higher OVR items today ends up being what an item with an OVR 2 points lower cost about a month ago. So to summarize, yeah, I hold onto my coins, as having currency is the only way to buy on the dip, and only if you buy on the dip can you have a position that can reasonably sell high in the near future.

My dear friend, first and foremost, this is indeed a forum for discussion. Secondly, I genuinely have no strong feelings regarding your personal decisions concerning your in-game currency, as this is, after all, a video game. Thirdly, my original inquiry was simply an attempt to understand the rationale behind others' tendency to accumulate in-game currency as if it held real-world value. Nevertheless, I appreciate your response.

So when's the right time to spend? You can't take them to next year's game, after the Super Bowl the game will mostly be over, right?

No contradict, basically I'm saying just use them instead of saving. You can't take them to next year's game, after the Super Bowl most people move on until next year, then what are you going to do with all that coin? 🏈💰 #money #game #superbowl #coin
