What do you guys think of these cards? Does anyone care about them?
I feel like EA needs to put something physical in people’s hands in order to add enough value to these special, custom and LTD art cards for people to spend big bucks. I’m sure that’s complicated because the NFL already has agreements with trading card and memorabilia companies but I personally see little to no value in these cards otherwise.
Thought they stopped doing this lol it’s pretty stupid
What’s the reasoning behind EA releasing two sets of cards like this? Honestly, we’ll probably never know — unless you happen to know someone on the inside.
Could it be microtransaction testing? Maybe they’re trying to figure out if players are willing to spend a little extra for the Holo version simply because it looks better, and seeing how long players will spend chasing the Holo version, even though the Non-Holo is available.
Or perhaps it’s about niche appeal — adding value through unique designs or exclusive artwork for those who like collecting visually distinct cards.
Now imagine they took it further — releasing a new Vernon Davis card in three versions: one in a 49ers uniform, one in a Broncos, and one in Washington colors. How many of us wouldn’t feel tempted to collect all three?
At the end of the day, it’s all about engagement. EA wants to keep us playing, looking at these shiny new cards, and feeling just enough FOMO to make us consider spending a bit more (Time/Money).
They need to manufacture demand, we want things to spend our coins on and the fewer coins we have, the more we grind/spend to get more.
We buy the pack, to get the card, to sell the card, to get the coin, to buy the cards we want/need.
or whatever...
this isnt the first time theyve done it. they know how dumb this community is.
i could not care less how the items are looking...
