Yesterday morning, I had a little over three million coins, and was starting to worry that after completing the four collection sets, I had held my Team of the Year items at too high a price for too long. Twenty-four hours later, I'm holding 14.5 million coins along with a couple more TotY champion sets prebuilt and about 6 million in items on the Auction House. From this point on until Rookie Premiere, I don't see going all-in on any programs except for this year's iteration of Theme Team All-Stars and any program structured like All-Star Athletes from MUT 25. The only thing that would keep me more engaged would be a fundamental change to how EA rewards winning in Head-to-Head. For me, having to earn wins in sequence has been nothing but a disaster and a persistent cause for frustration, and I haven't played any such mode for almost two weeks. Been good for my mental health.
I am looking to move on from the Seahawks lineup I have been running since Playoffs, and I expect Season Pass 7 will steer my eventual decision. I expect to run a hybrid theme team lineup, and I expect it will have at least 30 TotY chems, which brings me to the point of this post:
TotY items should hold strong value for much of the remainder of MUT 26, but there will be a crash on the value of champions before Thursday with the Sugar Rush reveal. How big a crash depends on the quality of that program. In the meantime:
• What do you expect to happen with the value of TotY Collection LTD's?
• Will the high value of TotY Collection LTD's peg to the value of TotY champions, which in turn will depend heavily on the value of comparable newer items by position?
I'm getting the sense that some of the TotY Collection LTD's will spike profoundly as some of last year's Theme Team Surge/Rising Stars/Fan Appreciation LTD's did, although not as severely (not reaching and holding at 10 million apiece as some of those past items did).
