The new minimum price is the dumbest thing ever

I didnt do any trading block stuff when it was around. However, I just realized it doesnt exist anymore. I found out because I was in a H2H match with a player that needed better cards (the better cards might not have made a difference and it was probably a little kid playing) and he needed some cards. I had some good extra cards and was gonna give them to him in trade. 

I tried. 

No trade block.

I even thought about trading my whole team to someone grateful at some point. 

Can't do it. No trade block.

I wish EA would understand not everyone can afford to buy cards and some aren't good enough madden players to win coins. Some players are in both of these categories. Some just choose not to spend on the game at all, even if they aren't solid madden players to build a good NMS team.

I actually feel bad some games and quit out after a bit and give these players wins.

Worst idea EA ever had was taking away  the trading block i used to give my son cards to help his mut team. Ea don't give a fuck about nms players or casuals all they cater to are the whales and the crybabies that line their pockets and its sad . It's becoming more and more obvious like why the hell did they take away mut masters?! The trading block? Change shit in game without even making the community aware.  Glitches go unfixed but let something happen that benefits the community that shits fixed in minutes... I'm close to my whits end with this mickey mouse operation

I think this minimum pricing is their attempt to prevent drastic market crashes. It is not a perfect fix but it has prevented cards from completely losing their value while people are at work.

Pretty simple really. They don't want cards too cheap and there's no way to keep the prices up without TVPs and they don't want those so LTDs stay expensive.

Didnt we all pay for the game? Like EA acts like this isn’t a 100 dollar game when it comes out and a 60 dollar game right now like they act like they give it for free

So the base game is $60 on release, or up to $100 with the extras. then you've got the people that wait until Christmas, and it's like $40 or whatever. Somebody said it was on a game pass or something now for $14. So let's just say the average NMS player spends $50 on the game. The actual lifespan of the game is like 7 months? Where people are really interested and engaged. So let's go off 28 weeks. And there is AT LEAST a new bundle every week. So if a money spender gets just one bundle, just 3 out of 4 weeks - That is a minimum of $2,100 spent on the game. 42 times more than the average NMS player.

I usually start NMS and end up dropping 10-20 bucks 6/7 times throughout year. People Can spend money how they want but these $50 bundles are insane. I switched systems halfway through this year and got up to 4 mil in like a week NMS . why are we dropping real money on the hopes of pulling a 1 million coin LTD?

Ya I know Tyreek should have lowered in price now he rose in price

I been trying to sell 97 jimmy smith for 3 days but because you can only post for 260 there is about 50 97 ovr WRs up for 260k, this the dumbest shit EVER

Is the bidding still minimum price, becasue if it isn’t, you could probably put it up for like 180k and somebody trying to get him cheap will bid on it

Anyone else just sitting on a ton of cards, waiting to sell?

EA needs to give everyone 5 million coins at this point so we can buy cards we want or need cause nobody is buying anything I'm trying to sell my chidobe for 237k and no buyers

One thing to note is that the price of high end cards, particularly LTDs, will skyrocket if they remove or significantly reduce the minimum price floor. Currently there are millions of coins completely locked up. If that floor is removed, there is going to be a huge influx of coins in circulation, which is going to drive up the cost of the most desirable cards. Something to think about.

You got your wish it’s gone

This is true. I made enough coins off of 🐑  during the Christmas day crash I have an all 99 team and haven't had to buy packs. I still have enough to pick and choose GT ROH or any other 99 that drops for the rest of the year. I couldn't do this with Easter. Didn't need to but would have been nice. It kinda sucks for us folks that actually played smart now get to face these scrub NMS players with great cards now for doing nothing but sucking all year. That's my only complaint.

Excellent trolling if that was your intent. If you were serious, I can’t imagine advocating for a less accessible game thats more exclusive and gatekeeps the higher OVRs to a select few coin hoarders and massive spenders. I am in the latter category to an extent and It doesn’t bother me a bit that other people have access to better teams and players now  everyone gets to have fun playing mut. I would imagine playing online iron sharpens iron. Playing nms teams with less than 95 or 96 OVR all the time seems like it wouldn’t help a player grow their skill. Now if all teams are creeping up in OVR it should make for better tougher gameplay for all and everyone should get better.

I know there’s been a lot of speculation about why EA has done this, but the one thing I know for sure is it has removed the ability to make coins grinding the AH, so I’d imagine that is the  reason.

A lot of people that spend money don't like playing against similar teams. They like beating up on low overalls
