Limit on bid/buy actions after finally getting access to the transfer market
I've been playing fifa for years on Xbox, but this year is my first year switching over to PC. When I jumped into ultimate team earlier, I was surprised to see the transfer market locked until I completed a set of objectives.
Fair Enough. But then I found those objectives required over 30 games across different modes and tasks. After grinding through around 4 hours of repetitive gameplay, I finally unlocked the transfer market... only to be hit with another restriction:
"You've reached your limit on bid/buy actions. Please come back in 1 Day 23 Hours for full access to the transfer market."
Are you serious?! I haven't even made a single bid or purchase, and now I have to wait another 2 days just to build a team or sell players.
I understand switching platforms comes with some checks, but this feels like an unnecessary punishment for loyal players. I've been playing this game for years, why should changing from console to PC mean I get locked out for days?
Is there anyway around this? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Please can someone from EA fix this for me.
Hey everyone!
This year we've made some additional changes of how especially newer players gain access to the transfer market. It's something we've called out in our FC 26 Launch Update as well.I understand it can be a bit confusing why there's a sudden bid limitation now. Here are the full details:
Limiting transfer market access for new accounts safeguards the FUT economy while actual new players are introduced to FUT at a more measured pace.
- Graduated Access: We covered some of the details of Graduated Access in FC 26 in our FUT Deep Dive Pitch Notes, but essentially, players/accounts new to FC will not have Transfer Market access until they complete the Foundation Objective Group ‘On Your Way’. Once this Objective Group has been completed, full FUT Transfer Market access would be granted in 48 hours for players on PC, and within 24 hours for players on the other platforms.During the 24/48 hour period, players will have access to list Items on the Transfer Market, but will not have access to search the Transfer Market and Bid/Buy Now actions until the time period has elapsed.
- The specific details listed here may be adjusted in the future as we monitor player behavior.
- Skip for Returning Players: Eligible players returning from EA SPORTS FIFA 23, EA SPORTS FC™ 24, and EA SPORTS FC™ 25 in good standing skip Graduated Access and get direct Transfer Market access, in-game and on the Companion and Web App.
