Actually, different versions of the same player card, such as promo version, gold version, evo version, TOTW, and TOTS, have unique IDs. It’s a different story when you have a loan player with a limited number of contracts and you try to purchase their permanent version. In such cases, the EA algorithm really needs to distinguish between loaned and permanent player statuses. I've adjusted the technical requirement accordingly and added this discussed nuance.
By the way, to simplify the algorithm, EA can check only football players that are listed for sale or not yet allocated. The existing mechanism, which currently prevents having two identical versions of a player on an account, will continue to prevent duplicates.
Rather just see them bring back bid tokens.
Returning a token is a contentious issue that requires support. This is a consequence of a poorly designed system. In contrast, I propose a solution. I've provided only a surface-level description, and an EA analyst can improve and detail it further. Implementing this task is complicated. It involves both server-side (backend) and interface (frontend) components, making it more of a consideration for the next version of the game. However, it would be excellent if EA responded appropriately to this case.
