    Flipping Cards

    This whole thing about flipping cards - is this normal or is this abuse?

    They could easily fix this by requiring the seller to keep the card at least 24 hours, increasing the tax, taking away your profit if you sell too soon, etc.

    It seems they are very aware of this abuse but are okay with it so long as users are spending more time on their product.

    I flipped cards for an hour on the bus home from work Friday after learning about it, made about 10K, but it was a total brain numbing experience. I'd rather go to the dentist than flip cards!

    How do other games mitigate this abuse? I don't play any other games so I'm just assuming this process was invented by Madden or FIFA, who probably does this on a much larger scale.

    How is a free market "abuse"? No one is forced to buy or sell their cards at the prices I choose to set.

      I did it a couple years ago but it was too boring for me. And took too long. Maybe I didn't do it right either because I didn't make much lol

        I may do this only because I don't like the stub deficiency when I want to have fun in the game with RTTS ect -- not spending extra cash on very few stubs as is

          In madden you can just have farm accounts, so that system is way easier to "abuse". On MUT17 I had every card I could ever dream of having without spending a dime because of farming. It's much harder to make stubs on this game due to absence of "solos" that you can just grind and get rewards for.

            Flipping cards isn't abuse. No idea why someone would say it is

              Are you abusing your own time? Sure. But for the people who have the time and patience to go through with the process, all the power to them.

                To me, this is just economics. I dont see any abuse, its what a market is for.

                  I agree, there's no abuse.
                  Although, I did try flipping cards for about 30 minutes, and it was so tedious and boring, I felt like abusing myself.
                  I'd rather pay cash for the stubs than subject myself to that again.

                    Is there a way to view your inventory online? MUT '16 had the binder upload on MUTHEAD and that made it much easier to flip your cards. It's also much easier to view your inventory on MUT. it's a pain to go through your inventory team by team in MLB

                      Top right hand corner there is an inventory button. You can sort through each team and look at owned and not owned. It's ok but it could way better. I'd love a "see all" button but it's a bot better than ingame.

                        ya its def not abuse. its luck and some skill. I got lucky and bought Posey at $51K...used him for a week and when he spiked during the event i sold him for about $67K and made a nice profit! most flips i do are silly little $5-$10 flips but got lucky on a diamond. waiting for Britton to spike as well. Got him at $30K at like 2AM one night...someone for some reason posted him like $5K less then the next bid haha

                          I've found a couple go to cards I've been flipping for 500-600 stubs pretty consistently. Turned 2k into 25k yesterday and invested a bunch into some guys who look likely to get upgrades.
