Upgrade SBCs need to improve

 Hello everyone 

 There should always be enough upgrades available to ensure that the other upgrades are possible. For example, why are there always upgrades requiring multiple rare gold players but no efficient way to earn them? Why is the minimum requirement for an sbc currently minimum 84 rated yet you only can do 84+×7, and only 3 times daily? Why is there a challenge requiring 5 91 rated squads when there are only 4 non-special cards with this rating, and at least 95 percent of packs will not have a special card. And even if they do, around 95 percent of those will be lower than 91 rated? It's upsetting how most people will never even receive the any of the players used to promote a promo, and they often can't even have the sbc players either. I am speaking on behalf of others, I have been lucky with packs this year, but I can't remember how many sbc players I wanted but could not have. This is unfair to the casual player, so please take this into consideration for the future. 

Thank you, all the best to everyone!

  • If you think an sbc isn’t worth it don’t do it. A lot of sbcs are just done with extra fodder. There isn’t much else to do with fodder. 

    It’s basically a gold sink. You can’t get back better than what you put in or you will devalue everything.  It’s like at the end of the year when you can just reroll 85x10 and get every player.  It makes everyone discard price. 

    The problem with the market is players are already all at discard besides a few top players. So when you open a pack it’s not worth anything. The only reason golds even hold value is for sbc fodder even then they are not worth much.

    RadioShaqs​ maybe I wasn't clear. You say 'if you think an sbc isn't worth it don't do it ', what about if you think it is worth it, but you CAN'T do it? 

    Everybody doesn't have extra fodder, and everyone doesn't have the same amount of time, ways to play, or what we call luck when it comes to packs. 

    I guess that's why my ideas will usually fall on deaf ears, because I am not a capitalist, and players being at discard price is the least of my concerns. My goal in getting packs is not to make money off other players, but to improve my own club. Currently, the problem with this and most other things is that the rich get richer while others are left behind. The more coins you have, the more you can buy and flip to make more. Not that it is wrong per se, but we all know that some people are even violating EA policy. The better players you have, the more packs you can get to get even more better players. If it was up to me, everyone would always be able to choose which sbcs to skip, not be forced to rule out over 90 percent over affordability. For example in my case, there was an entire month where I didn't submit a single squad rated 82 or higher, and still only completed a potm with literally hours to spare. I have only been able to complete two icon challenges all year, one being Casillas. I have never completed a hero pick, and have only done 1 icon pick. I don't do 84+ or 85+ player picks, in fact I don't do anything that you need luck to justify, like pick 2 82+×5 for example. Basically I have missed out on virtually everything in the sbc section and saved all my fodder, and am currently debating which 1 immortal icon I should choose. Sorry for going on so long, but if that sounds fair to you, then...  I don't want or expect everything, or even most things, but I really would like to have something. 

    Anyway, all the best to you, and thank you if you got all the way through this 

  • I mean the sbc grind is way too much.  The guys who used to run the sbc thread on here and the old forum can do every sbc. They even get disappointed if the sbc isn’t millions of coins. They won’t do average sbcs.

    I have time to do all the sbcs but would rather be playing the game then the menu. 

    I’ve said it before but ea should remove sbcs and promos and go back to limiting trading with bid tokens. 

    The problem is people like the menu grind.  While I would rather just have all the players and play that’s not everyone.  Whats crazy is when we get all the players like the 85x10 or wc when we got all the icons people actually complained and quit  

    I think it takes longer to learn the menu grind of sbcs evos and trading then to actually play the game.  So if you don’t have all the fodder like me just play the game.

    The new exchange a 90 rated squad of 11 exactly 90 rated players and no just an average 90 but every one has to he 90, no higher or lower cards is absolutely brutal. If they keep going forward with this I can't see alot of us doing these sbcs. There's only 5 gold 90 rated players with the exception of hansen and vini who are worth the fodder not including special cards. Crazy decision from EA, zambo and martninez locked behind these with 5 days to gather the fodder, so you can't do any icons or other sbcs. Please don't keep this it's horrid.
