Cross-Market with PC and Consoles.

The issue with the PC-only market is that card prices differ significantly from those on the console market and, more importantly, some cards are not available at all. Although mid-tier cards may generally be cheaper on PC, their rarity at times often results in them being on the market very inconsistently. This problem also affects high-tier cards, which, while much more expensive on PC, are even more scarce when released. If all platforms shared the same market, there would be no imbalance. PC players are not looking for an "advantage" with cheaper mid-tier cards; we simply want equal access to purchase them.

From a business perspective, having high-tier cards visible on the market could encourage players to open packs or craft upgrade packs to afford them. For players, it's sad to see 500-700k active listings on PC while consoles have over 10 million. Additionally, I can't play on a console because I can only use a keyboard due to a disability to play the FC series.

Merging the PC and console markets would greatly enhance the experience for the PC player base and myself. Despite some negativity, we love the series and want the best experience possible. Thank you for considering this.

  • Id rather not compete with PC hacks, so please EA, keep them separate.

    @Eradik The "hacks" you're referring to are through the web app which any platform has access to.

    That is not what I am referring to. A simple Google search will give you a ton: "Always win and auto disconnect, change your skill points and drop down in ranks for easy pub stomps.
    Easy wins with your disconnect reason of choice. Also comes with 99 overall rating for players, Anti afk, ball teleport and much more!"

    This is not possible on console. Keep them separate. 

  • We may not get crossplay this year but you ask for cross market lol. Good luck with that

    Our (my son and I) gaming experience became much better as soon as we turned off cross-play.

    @Eradik That is an enitrely different issue with the anti-cheat on PC. But you're right that stuff is unacceptable

    Agree Let PC users play with Linux Users and Apple Mac. Sure HB Studios could port EA FC 25 to Apple Mac and Linux.

    @RadioShaqsThe web app is the culprit for the coin generators. Turn off cross-play for gameplay hacks, although EA has actually improved anti cheat over the past few months.
