    In case anyone wanted to see 5* card get Item Exchanged

    Let me preface this with saying I am NOT bragging. I had cards I got from packs and unluckily I couldn't use them because they were duplicates or had a better card in the slot. Pulled two of those Weidman Hooks today which was lame as hell and I didn't have 4* Showcase cards to upgrade. I spend money on packs (yes insert how I'm dumb here) and wanted to see if I could snake a good Item Exchange using the cards I would end up having to sell for coins.

    This is the result.

    That's a sweet card, but you traded some quality cards...

      Couldn't use them or I would have never done it.

          Could have been a lot worse. Pretty sure the only thing you will able to do with the spares is exchange or sell for vendor price.

          The only thing I was worried about www trading all those in and getting another card I already had a slot for.

                I only have a handful of 5* cards, so I was a bit devastated today when I bought the International Fight Pack and got a duplicate (DJ's Signature Switch Straight). I would love to "re-roll" 5* cards. If it takes five 4* cards and 40k coins to get a 5* card, why can't we just re-roll a 5* card for 40k coins?

                  Because that doesn't help EA sell packs lol.

                    but anything that uses coins exclusively (ex. Item Exchange) doesn't help EA sell packs, right?

                      Depends on how you look at it really. For item exchange to work you have to have the cards and if you use up the cards you have to get more cards.

                      They like to push people to think "hey if you spend $XX then you can get some cards and take them into item exchange if you don't want them".

                      It's not as clear cut as offering packs for 75,000 coins or 450 points but the motivation behind Ultimate Team on every EA platform is to push microtransactions.

                        I've only ever used the exchange to get rid of duplicates and/or cards that I would never use. Once I was at my moveset cap, I had no reason to buy packs, and was able to hoard coins for future exchange (and I got lucky with the half-off all exchanges weekend).

                        It's these super special packs that get me. Both the guaranteed 5* card International Fight Week Pack now, and the Lightweight 5* guaranteed pack maybe a month ago. In both cases, my will was broken and I purchased UFC points. I figured I could either play untold hours of the game to "maybe" get one pack (75k near impossible to do), or I could spend $10 *now* to get it. Not particularly happy with the result, as I got four different 5* front-leg leg kicks for Lightweight, and received a duplicate 5* in the IFW pack.
