I don't think there is anything they can do for 15 in terms of making cards obtainable. I'm not even sure if it is in ea's financial interest to make them obtainable.. How many Fifa points would you buy once you already had Messi and Ronaldo?

I imagine they have crunched the numbers and dangling the carrot is much more profitable than anyone actually getting one

I managed to get on briefly, open a 25k 'rare pack' (best card an 80 rated keeper from a nothing league), tried to put players on transfer list and the servers farted and kicked me off.. Got back on once more and couldn't start a game.. Can't get on now.

... Or on GTA.

Champions league it is!

I can't even buy Irish LB or GK for this St Patty's tourney. There are none on the market. This is so dumb.

Sigh.. bought a full legends team 3 days ago and all of the players disappeared. Slowly got most of them back, but am yet to receive Zola, Campbell and Rijkaard. Contacted EA support about it 2 days ago and they said "the problem should be solved now and players should be back in ur account". They werent, ldo.

This game is going downhill big time right now

Lag has been ridiculous for me the last couple of days. Lots of 3-3, 4-3, 3-2 games and one 3-8 loss abortion of a game yesterday where my defenders alternated standing still and watching rvp dribble through them with charging upfield when a chipped through ball was hit their way. Seems that people spamming searches to find extinct cards is more than the servers can handle.

Anyone trust a coin seller with your account details to deposit coins directly for you? Seems shady, but a lot easier than the other options currently available.

the term coin seller and trust in one word. ie people who make money by abusing the market and "ruin" the game for others. should make you think really hard.

I'm sorry, but I don't think coin sellers have ruined the game. They've let me build a couple of incredible teams and open tons and tons of packs for pennies on the dollar compared to buying Fifa points.

I think it's laughable that so many people on the EA forums think it's some sort of moral issue not to buy coins. It's not illegal, it's a violation of the TOS and if EA was remotely competent they would have banned the coin seller accounts. As long as Fifa points continue to be hilariously overpriced I won't have a problem buying coins or with anyone else who does.

Why should a 12yr old kid have to ask his parents for £000's worth of in-game points just to have any real chance of playing with his hero Messi card?

It's a digital item which costs nothing to produce and it's the carrot ea use to take millions out of people who they mislead in to thinking they have a reasonable chance of getting elite players out of packs..

If you buy a scratchcard the odds of winning have to be available by law. EA should have to let you know the chances of pulling elite players. It's definitely in the thousands to 1.

Fair enough having a healthy business model, but at least make the dream cards attainable

On ios I have spent probably over 100m coins on packs and I have never pulled either Messi or Ronaldo.

My mate has played FUT since the start and spent a shed load on packs, way more than he lets on, I wouldn't be surprised if over 1k, and neither has he

.... nor have I, nor have any of my other mates who play FIFA.

I'm confused, do people in here not understand economics?

If coin sellers could be effectively thwarted the price of Messi in coins will decrease.

That's how markets work.

May not be exactly the same "effective cost" but Messi would still be available to relatively the same number of people.
