    Are the new Elites more scarce than usual?

    Or is no one buying packs?

    I've yet to see a Crabtree and only a couple of Buckley's. Did EA actually limit them? Would be a great move for the market if so.

    And just an FYI on Buckley...
    His card says he's rated 95 which would slot him under Winfield on the market...roughly plus or minus 100k. But if his Solo Challenge OVR was correct he's actually rated 96, which would put him over Winfield since he's newer and even or near Bailey. So if you're looking for a great value, he might be one to get once his price settles where it should.
    Can anyone confirm he's actually rated 96 ovr and not 95?

    Saw a Crabtree 10 min after they were released. Up for 290k. It sold. 2 up a while ago. 200+k. Yes it seems every new award player is more rare....or people are just on Madden now.

        I bought a Crabtree for 200k when he was first released and haven't seen one posted since. This past few weeks there's been a LOT less Elite cards up after they first release, so I think you're right about them reducing the amount of them in packs. On Xbox btw.

          Some of the Elites are limited runs anyway. The plain "Elite Edition" cards and ESPN cards are limited, but I didn't think they limited Award Winners. Interesting trend.

            This. I believe this for sure. The ESPN cards are out in way less numbers than award winners.

              I've heard the ESPNs are only in packs for a week, though I don't know if it's ever been confirmed or not. I assume the "Elite Edition" cards are the same since there are far fewer of them than typical Award Elites on the market.

                I hope that since there will probably be less people getting packs that EA will up the probability of pulling elites in packs. I've probably bought 50 AA packs and only ever pulled 3 Elites (Galloway, Carimi, and Pat White).

                  Bought with cash or coins?

                    I assume there are fewer elites bc the number of people has dropped dramatically in nfut. Fewer packs being pulled = fewer elites on the AH. And I've seen no difference in packs between cash vs coins. I've done both and see no difference.

                      I'm not sure if they're more rare but I have not seen a single elite Crabtree in the auction house (Xbox) and I desperately want to get one.

                          I have seen one on PS3 and it was listed for 1.9 million, I wanted one but not that bad.

                              Yeah it was listed at 1.97 million and I think someone bought it because when I woke up the next morning it was gone.
