Give EA props

These guys find new ways to satisfy their greed. I have to give EA props for putting a floor on cards for a limited time then flooding the market with eggs and cards.

The steps to they take to maximize profits and screw over their costumers never fail to impress. They managed to force the community to burn their coins with the egg promos then cut off their chance on a return. Big investers couldn't get their return back on eggs since the market was flooded making a large part of the community quicksell them in rage. Spenders buying at a locked price couldn't get anything for a "snipe" and forced to buy the market value. With them removing the price lock means almost all cards will sell lower than their locked price forcing everyone to still lose coins on their purchase. 

Bravo EA. You managed to burn the investors coins and also screw over the spender forcing them to buy more coins later down the line.

Lol, go play the actual stock market if investing is this important to you bro

I didn't invest a single coin in this promo. I'm reporting my observations.

So people who "invested" in 98s for 300k or whatever only to sell them for more when they got the chance, got screwed? Oh well. It's a videogame, not Wall Street

For once I think it was a good idea For the few days they did It.  It did exactly what it should have, which was stopping everybody from undercutting to the maximum to try and get some coins back.  But like he said above if you were trying to invest in sugar rush 98s and stuff that’s on you.  You decided it was worth the risk to try it and unfortunately you lost this time.  It happens a lot

Lol this is pretty funny Cause by reading the comment it seems he may have invested in something.  But either way who cares.  I would have never grabbed the sugar rush 98s since they were the only ones under the price lock.  That made me nervous enough to think they’d do something like this

Market will rebound. ppl are low on their coins rn due to their cards not being sold. I invested in 8 Donalds. He's the best rusher in the game now after the nerf to SB LIU tokens.

I'm a self sustaining adult bro lol. The same trends you see in any exchange market you can see in the madden economy.

It will be ok. I'm trying to point that the company will always take any step to maximize profit at our expense.

Absolutely crazy that even THIS type of statement is met with weird push-back from the community.  Nobody is even trying to debate the factual manner in which you stated your case, but still somehow we're finding ways to point the finger at other community members, rather than the actual problem, which is EA itself.

No wonder the red versus blue political bullshit is so effective and divisive, people are capable of the most insane mental gymnastics.  What kind of logic must it take to determine that somehow YOU are the problem, or you're playing the game wrong, when all you did was state a simple fact.  EA's sheer greed knows no bounds.  They're obviously not even trying at this point, just slapping stupid band aids on left and right to their bad game and outdated Frostbite engine, oof.

I don't even know what to say at this point, my faith in humanity is as low as it's ever been.  I still don't want to fault the often toxic community, i'll always blame EA, I'm forever confused how so many in the community manage to arrive at these type conclusions.  Double OOF.  Embarrassing.

The defending EA seems crazy when people spend real money on the game. EA shouldn’t manipulate the market. At the least they could give some heads up.. And for the NMS players, your time isnt worthless. EA has a monopoly over ”sim football”, can’t help but think how much better we’d have it with some competition.

I think the issue is that EA may have changed the normal rules, but the game is still there for NMS players counting on the auction if you did not overreact. Instead of the market drop on Sunday, the market dropped today. Anyone who either quicksold or tried to get a bargain on Sunday should have lost out (except buying some of the limited players like HC for the first hour after the egg hatched). I would think that today everyone is now trying to sell cheap all of their cards that had a large supply during Easter and we will get a rebound (at least in a few of the cards) either this weekend or, at worse, next week, especially with the limited players from Easter out of the packs. Of course I could be wrong (often I am).
