This tweet sums up the game right now
Yes we can grind a few lower tier icons but remember this, you will never own any top tier icons unless you miraculously pack one. In my opinion we’ve been mugged so EA can control the market.
Think about that for a minute. No Gullit, no Pele, No R9, you’ll never own these cards this year. Bring back icon SBCs

I can see it mate. Enjoy base Litmanen for 24 token.
Only way your getting more than 1 good moment is pack luck as even top traders wouldn't have 30+ MIL laying around for 2 as all metas will be 15mil each
The thing is EA claim this was done for our benefit. Other than Hazard where can you put high rated untradables. They’re even delaying the mid icon SBC because people are loaded with fodder. No firmino 5* skills to stop people making coins. It’s a scam.
That’s all it boils down to mate. How can you justify a card being 15 million coins as a card. 150k coins on average per 70 quid, so that’s £7,000 to own 1 card. Incredible
Loved my fifa 18 end game team. At tots gullit was 1.5m and R9 was the same (sbc's)
Nothing EA do is for our benefit it's all about selling FPs.
But even though the majority had top end cards through the menu grind EA want you to be happy with a Dan James and Kubo in its place.
Came directly from Yahsir. What it translated to was we want more money, icon SBCs are gone. You can’t even dump an icon for a 100k pack anymore.
Agreed
This quote?
“We have removed icon SBCs to make all icons more accessible to a wider audience, by putting them all in packs that you can buy*
*with a drop rate of 1 in every gazillionbillionmillionfillion from ultimate packs**
**we promise this is a real number and very attainable for all players once they are sold in market for - checks market - max BIN***
***Max BIN which we set and have just adjusted to increase the max price on top icons. Remember, we at EA care.”
if the only way to get him is packs
I liked the idea of "icon swaps" but i thought we would of been able to work towards any icon we wanted.... obviously the better the icon the harder i thought it would of been
it's a good concept but horendous execution.... just like most EA things......
yeah next september, im expecting them to give us that on fifa 19.........
just like they gave us icons for fifa 18 last year lol
@EA_Roger
These 2 comments basically sum it up
Not looking for a response, just pass it on plz 👍
This would have been perfect. Taking the icon requirement out of the SBCs would have removed the price inflation on lower tier icons. We could have earned some decent players through swaps and then put our high rated cards to use on the most elusive icons. Honestly this whole thing just seems like a way for them to squeeze more money from players. Those top level icons are unattainable for 99% of us this year.
purely because they were too expensive on the market and they always try to base their SBCs of market value which is dumb af.......
