You cant be serious, sure this year EA promised the players control the market! Anybody who believed a word EA ever said should give them self a big slap in the face
EA shouldn't increase his cap to 100k. They should just ban the hoarders & release the cards on the market at 150 start price. This is what giving the market back to the players should entail, not forever incresing prices on players like last year.
I had 5 million coins last year through trading, & I couldn't afford the team I wanted, if I don't get my team again this year thanks to forever rising prices, I will be quitting FIFA until a 2 player career mode is added.
The OP is clearly willing to pay over 55k. As are others. Hoarding only works if people are willing to pay more than the current cap.
If he's extinct, it's because his market clearing price is at or near his max BIN. You may not think he's worth that, and I agree, but at this stage of the game the player base seems to think he is.
Take away the hoarders & he probably would stick close to 55k for a while, being this close to release, but he wouldn't be extinct.
Hoarders trying to force a price raise will ruin the market for everyone if it isn't nipped in the bud. The same way Youtubers dragged FUT down over the past 3-4 years.
The only way price ranges work without shortages is if player prices never approach the max BIN. Hulk's has. Hoarding may play a role, by limiting supply a bit more, but this is an NIF gold we're talking about here. He's extinct because his EA-set price doesn't match what the market dictates.
Ban hoarders, eliminate autobuyers, do everything everybody here things will "fix" ranges, and players will still go extinct. Because what causes player extinction is simple...a market clearing price below the artificially set price ceiling. All those other things can aggravate the situation, but that's the root cause. It's basic market principles at work. A "fresh market" won't fix it, and "wide ranges" won't fix it unless the price never, ever approaches the cap.
Your last point is the solution, make his cap something like 200k and HE WILL NEVER APPROACH THERE.
Which is likely what they thought they were doing at 55K. After all, he was down at like 2K or 3K last year by the end. The people who "run" this game don't actually play it, they don't know.
Unless you get it 100% right 100% of the time, extinction.
Sounds good to me.
this just shows how crappy packs are this year
When Jackson Martinez is 45k Hulk 55k is a bargain.
I know he is pretty good in this fifa, but this is a small victory for everyone against price hoarding.
Of course...can't be a coincidence that as soon as Cuadrado, Aubameyang, Hulk's ranges got bumped up 20k more, suddenly 5-10 pages pop up instantly. Like I said it worked before so these hoarders think they could do it but luckily in this case it didn't. In fact up until yesterday the ❤️❤️❤️❤️ even tried to hoard NIF Payet LOL.
Crack an Econ book.
It's a market. If you try to set prices at what /you/ think a player is worth, and the market disagrees, the results aren't pretty. It just doesn't work that way.
Go ahead and set Ronaldo at 10K. Unless you up the card weight to match, you'd never see another on the market. You can't dictate prices in a market, it leads to either shortages or surpluses.
So hoarders played a part, but that's just basic market principles at work.
