Re: I bought 99 ovr pepe a few days for 100M coins but today he's been converted to

Isn't weird that when Pepe retired, his card then removed from the market, while the most expensive players available now on the market are those who retired decades ago?

Even more weird that EA without warning or notice or compensation changed the tradable card to become untradable. Tradable cards are considered as gamer's asset and people have to spend coins to get the tradable cards. I don't think it is wise to change tradable cards that can worth hundred millions of coins to untradable card without any notice and compensation, not considering how people spend coins/money to get those cards.

Either put back the card to became tradable, or give coins as compensation equals to how much the card worth.

    @ysykxb0ga97r once they retire they are no longer covered by the blanket FIFA licensing agreement - be thankful that they are only removed from the market, not from the game completely (meaning that you would lose your card rather than it becoming untradable)

    No one is complaining about whether Pepe stays in the game or not. As hysterical as it is that some of the most expensive players in the current market are ICON players that have retired years or even decades ago, most of us understand that there's a separate and individual licensing procedure to bring a player back in the game as an ICON player. However that does not in any way justify EA just switching Pepe to be untradable without any kind of warning, choice or compensation. People invested coins or even FPs to have Pepe or Kroos on their squads and they certainly didn't do so so that they would become worthless out of nowhere. When or if a player retires is completely out of EA's hands but when a player does retire they should come up with procedures on how to notify and/or compensate the losses of the users within the game before they instaswitch a card as untradable.

    @SClassMarksman It’s how it’s always been - back when there were no untradable cards they were just removed from rosters - you have a collectable now that can’t be obtained anywhere else in the game, which is pretty cool for a card you were keen to get hold of anyway … I wouldn’t call that worthless, more like priceless 😉

    If they notified users that a card was being removed from the market then it would create a market anomaly that would either see the price unreasonably spike or crash … they are not going to knowingly create that
