Pulling an elite probability

[CougNation]

I have just finished opening up my 28th all american pack. None of which contained anything higher then a gold card. Am I just on a cold streak or is this to be expected. It is rather disheartening.

I bought the 50 packs today and only got like 2, so yeah they don't come often which is why there rare.

Alright that makes me feel better haha. I was beginning to wonder if I was picking the wrong packs or something of that nature.

I think they changed the cardweight of them. I pulled several Elite/Legendary's the first week. Have blown about 300k coins on packs since then and haven't got one.

I opened two packs and got an elite Reggie White in the second.

Got lucky on the $20 I spent to start. Also. I do alot of buying/selling on the market. In a serious slump with the packs and now just buying high rated players.

You'll go broke buying up packs (coins and real money).

Best advice I know to give is before you do anything else, list the kind of team you want and the player you want at each position. And only go for that player. If you have a player that isn't "the one", flip him and get the one you do want.

That's made a huge difference for me in how I play. I'm building an All-SEC team and I've been able to flip cards and keep +/- 20,000 coins in the bank. Haven't bought a pack in a week.

Having that much liquidity also allows you to buy up undervalued BINs on Elite and Legendary cards and flip them. That's where the real coins start to build.

That is true now, but packs were profitable the first week. Now its tough to move anything except cards needed for collections.

Yes, because all the Gold cards were going for 4500+. Now they go for less than half that, as a general rule.

And as EA keeps intentionally inflating the market with newer, better cards, what you've spent money on is worth less every day. On a technicality, they're committing a felony with such practices. But, that's the gaming business.

Too much supply and low demand since this game doesn't have the volume of players like FUT. They are killing the market releasing so much IMO. It's looking like they just want a quick money grab before next gen consoles release. Still think they could stabilize the market a little by not releasing any new players for a week or 2 and improving collections.

Bingo!
Just too many highly rated cards. The one thing they did which will improve the market is making those Gold Starter Upgrade cards unauctionable. But, really, it's too late.

They don't want us flipping cards for profit, anyway. Hurts their business.

Re: Pulling an elite probability

it's still insanely easy to flip cards for profit you just have to know what players to look for and you cant be looking to make a huge profit on every flip.

Everything they have done with NFUT is to kill coins. My favorite so far is releasing a 10 game extension card for 150 coins and dropping the 25 game extension card to 300. People will buy these from the store now instead of AH and that takes coins out of the game.
