    Just realized Weekend League isn't only about trying to reach Elite

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 11:35 PM PDT

    Everyone is talking only about rank and rewards. But WL isn't about that.

    It's about watching your freshly subbed in FB Lozano being outpaced by 0 fitness IF Marcal in the 120th minute to do a perfect assist to POTM Ben Yedder and make you bottle Gold 1 while packing 2 Ligue 2 players in your picks and watching Silver 1 players packing Red Messi and I think that's beautiful.

    If this is your first TOTS here's what to expect

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 12:21 PM PDT

    Your red picks will be 80% goal keepers, 15% fullbacks, 5% slow unusable high rated midfielder. Your guaranteed SBC will pack you a fodder that you will rinse into the next guaranteed SBC that needs a TOTS and that one will be used in the next guaranteed SBC that needs a TOTS and that one will be used in the next guaranteed SBC that needs a TOTS until the end of the promo.

    Controversial: EA is a central bank - Their job is to manage a stable and welfare maximizing market

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 12:35 PM PDT

    TLDR: EA is doing us all a favor by "manipulating" the market through actively buying and selling - a.k.a being a stabilizing functional central bank or "market maker". We have lots of legitimate gripes to whine about when it comes to EA, including their bluntly exploitative (and possibly illegal) consumer practices, personally manipulated pack weights, and greedily profiteering at every turn. But actively managing the market isn't it.

    ​

    EAs exploitative and blatantly greedy practices make it hard to trust them or give them credit for anything:

    To be clear, I am royally pissed off at EA most of the time, and am not defending them generally:

    1. Their game mechanics are garbage (though better and less exploitable than recent years -- "low driven in Fifa 18, etc").
    2. Their exploitative item drop-rates are insane for packs, and they make too obvious that their only goal is to con you into handing over more cash for less stuff. It's a bad and exploitative biased gambling machine, with mechanics created to drive addiction. I'm very confident this model will be rendered illegal in the next few months or years, especially the likely user-specific probability adjustment they are most likely doing.
    3. Despite achieving Gold 2 or Elite Rivals rewards most weeks, and Gold 3 many WLs, I have not earned enough to assemble a team worth more than 3m, and have no hope of doing so. Great traders earn orders of magnitudes more than engaged players every week. And that means I have no hope of packing or playing with the best players.

    ​

    BUT I think it's worth defending one of the practices that EA gets some stick for in this sub: minting and listing new cards (and likely bot-buying cards too). Rather than think of this as some nefarious action, you should start to think of it as a gift to us all. The alternative is way way worse.

    FUT is an inherently unstable, poorly designed marketplace:

    This is a heterogeneous marketplace (a marketplace of a very large number of individual but interconnected items). Long-tail marketplace like these (e.g. eBay) have long-standing challenges:

    1. Market randomness, combined with very low liquidity (low rate of transfer of scarce items) means that the "discoverable market price" of each item can soon lose connection with real underlying value. To make this worse, the market is live 24/7, which means that stability is contingent on enough people listing and buying every card, at all times, so that price levels remain rational.
    2. Manipulators ruin the market - "Investors" are actually currency manipulators and price fixers. Don't pretend y'all are honest brokers here. You're looking for arbitrage opportunities and ways to make out-sized returns for yourselves, even if it hurts and/or burns everyone else. EA's role is to protect the rest of us against you!
    3. Over-supply can bring a marketplace down quickly, especially for players that just want to engage with the app by buying their next target player to revolutionize their squad. If a single player gets vastly over-listed in a short time period, then the resulting price instability will make the marketplace unstable overall.

    The role of the central bank and market-maker: liquidity, stability and price rationality.

    EA is the functional central bank and market designer in this marketplace. That means they bear the responsibility for market price stability and rationality, which can't be left to the market for all the reasons mentioned above. EA's worst outcome is that we all refuse to participate in a completely random market that we can't predict or act in. If you have an expectation that every day an asset price will be half of the average price for some part of the day, then nobody will buy at the current price, leading to reduced interactions that harms everyone in the marketplace. Sellers will expect that the price will always be double at some point in the day, and refuse to sell until that price target arrives. So the market breaks completely.

    So EA deploys the same tactics central banks use:

    1. They "print money" (new cards), change market rates (drop rates) and engage in open market operations (buying and selling). The problem is this drives inflation and currency devaluation in the real world, so banks have to use this carefully. In FUT, EA print money in the form of new cards - except it's more complex because money is all homogenous (identical) whereas cards are unique, with very different values to each different audience (the kind of squads you run, etc). More on central bank mechanics here.
    2. EA is also likely an opportunistic buyer, using EA bots. This is also a good thing. It gives you more confidence that you can list an item, and receive a fair market price that is not a product of complete randomness. Yes, to you "investors", this means you don't get to snipe as often. But that is better for macro-stability in the long run, and you benefit from the general price stability.

    Turns out that you have to sub on WBY, Neymar and Mbappé otherwise you can't complete the objectives. Crazy that EA doesn't actually let you know that in game.

    Why no love for Liga MX this year?

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 08:33 PM PDT

    Does EA have some issue with the league in terms of licensing? No league SBC. Doesn't get its own totssf (lumped in with row or latam, not sure which). I'm glad MLS is included, but Liga MX is a bigger league. It has more viewers than MLS... even in the US. Honestly doesn't make sense to me

    All Flashback and Moments player SBCs should never expire.

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 06:46 AM PDT

    We all have favorite players, we all have favorite clubs, we all want to remember iconic moments in football. Flashbacks and moment player SBC's are great to check off all those boxes. It's a shame that you didn't get a chance to complete that specific players SBC for a myriad of reasons. You miss out on getting that one player and now you can't ever get them. These players should never expire to give a chance to everyone to get those players they love or help assemble their favorite club. Stop making everything limited, the game last a year let people enjoy it however they want stop Pressuring your player base EA.

    P.S. Bring back Icon SBCs and improve packs from SBCs.
