EA Sports adds, “Price Adjustments will continue to occur as the market changes and different items are introduced. We will do our best to ensure players are offered at the correct value and to make adjustments as quickly as possible.” What people don’t understand is the crazy price inflation of players. I’ve seen videos of people doing maths on how long it would take to buy Ronaldo without purchasing coins, fifa coins which is something ridiculous, I can’t even remember. From my personal experience trading in FUT 15 is very difficult, not only due to coin buyers but due to hyperinflation of the market.

Also this strategy requires huge inputs of time and effort. 24/7 monitoring of the market and huge risks in terms of coins. It would take days to earn large sums of coins for your average trader. While EA’s figures cover Ultimate Team on all platforms, the development of FIFA on mobile is a good example of where EA is heading. FIFA 14 was free to play game with a one-time premium unlock. It had numerous modes (online friendlies, seasons, etc) in addition to the Ultimate Team mode, and it was probably (in my opinion) the best football game on mobile to this date. Jump to FIFA 16 Ultimate Team [Free], and you can see even from the name that something has changed in EA’s strategy.

Help FUT gamers understand the value of the players in their club: There is a website called FUThead which gives you the dollar value of the players in your club. It is easy to find out how much your player is worth and if you underprice your player on the market then you should have to suffer the consequence. This is also ironic because now my Toure, deemed to be 100K is worthless because I can’t sell it. So what is the value of a player in my club that I can’t sell? With that being said, FIFA should address this issue at its source not disadvantage the majority for the acts of a few.

We made another important change that will bring better trading balance and fairness to the Transfer Market. We’ve introduced unique Price Ranges on each platform (Xbox, PlayStation, and PC) to reflect the values and dynamics in those unique economies. fifa 16 coins This will bring minimum and maximum prices better in line with the perceived value within those economies, and make transfers fairer and more enjoyable for all FUT players.” EA’s transfer market now caps the minimum and maximum amounts of coins that items can be sold for via the popularity of players and other items on each platform. FIFA 16, Ronaldo’s price was around 300K; not 5 or 6 million.

Therefore, promoting a division would give you, say 600 coins for each win and then 8k for the promotion; 10K per division. Therefore getting to division 1 gets you a third of the way to Ronaldo! I am on your side, coinsellers have made this game much less enjoyable for a lot of people. All gamers who are unsatisfied with the prices for the various items included in the Ultimate Team mode of the football sim can offer feedback to the development team, which will probably be used to tweak the values in the coming weeks. EA Sports says that the entire new mechanic is designed to improve the fairness of the mode, making it easier for all players who are engaged with it to get access to the stars that might have been too expensive for them when open bids were used.
