Auction house MM

when I searched Henry up mine would be the cheapest by only about 700 coins, but my listing doesn’t even show up. Is there a reason for that? Also, when I have 26 listings up and all of them are the cheapest there are on the market, why would not a single one sell even for the bid?

To elaborate on this, none of my 9 80 ovr players sold as the cheapest do their kind. I have now posted all of my elites overalls 80-89, 62 of them, for the cheapest of their kind. I will let you know if any of them sell, as I suspect none of them will, as they haven’t before. 

I got my auctions back and not a single item sold. There has to be something wrong as the player said before, as the probability that 62 elite players at the lowest prices for their overalls is almost 0. Even if people don’t want them for their team, they would’ve been bought to complete sets needing 80+ ovr players

Am writing to say that for at least three weeks I too have been unable to sell even 89 OVR Elites in coveted positions at any price. I have put 89 OVR players on auction for just 1000 tokens for 72 hours and not one sale. I've tried pricing at the mode or mean values then at half that then finally as low as 1000 tokens and not a single elite sold for at least three weeks. WTH, EA? This seems very unfair and is a slap in the face to every Madden Mobile player including those of us whom have spent real money supporting MM. Please fix this, EA, because it is becoming very frustrating indeed.

Are those 89 OVR players from Road to the Draft or Draft players? Madden Mobile players are able to acquire those players from recent Madden Today events so it's counter-intuitive to purchase them off the auction house unless they're trying to complete a certain set. You might see some of those sold at the last second before those sets expire from players coming up short on sets. If they aren't RttD or Draft players you'll likely have more difficulties selling them unless players need them for sets, which at this point of the season only the most recent few programs host Master players worth going after to keep your team top tier. 

i'm selling 115 elite players and my players arent selling. it's been 5 weeks changing the the minimum and max price for all players and non have not sold. fix the auction house  selling 81 -90 players and they aint selling for nothing just straight wasting my time for 5 weeks. bring the old auction house back. this is stupid and i know you see other people having the same problem . and i know the number people that use to play this game alot dropped you guys numbers of players playing  rate downward big time. because yall like messing up the great game we love. yall better come out with something new in the next madden mobile . listen to the community because i cant even sell nothing . and bring back the card cover arts from 2015 or 2016.

Have you tried searching the players on the auction house before listing them to see what others are posting them up for? I don't think you're going to have much luck posting their buyout prices for over 100K. Those players are all from past programs, not RttD or Draft. As you can see your flashback player sold for much lower. 

There should be a bid war. You guys are the reason we cant sell our players. I can go in the auction house right now by default and nothing is being sold or Biden on by the looks of it . I grind so hard for all my players and there alot of players I dont want and so as other players. 

1. Auction Restrictions- Needs to stop there are really people that isnt getting there player sold such as me, been doing this for 5weeks changing Starting price and Buy Now price Constantly and only got 1 player sold out of 115 Elite players. Let other see our players on the auction House

2. Animations - Catch animations are alright needs more improvement. Fix these * O-Lineman that gets a random speed boost when chasing and tackling my Runningback that has 98 speed and 95 acceleration getting tackled by a silver position player.

3. 2015 and 2016 Cover Art cards. As of right now these cover art cards we have right now is straight PLAIN just makes me not want to get a certain player 

4. Graphics - Very Good keep it that way 

5. Stamina- Keep it unlimited , last time we told you guys to keep it unlimited yall didnt listen 

6. Have Play Option enabled when reading coverages and switching plays

7. Fix Jukes moves - Such as cut right or cut left doesnt work effectively honestly. The action button is alright but I want to feel myself making these jokes moves and stuff arms 

8. Fix the game overall - Have people leaving the game because yall dont listen andbits the truth.

9. Leagues vs Leagues 2015 and 2016 rewards return when we grind for our players 

For the past 5 weeks what you think i been doing ??? No one is being sold . And yes I check I put it 1k less of the lowest price to get it sold and nothing gets sold . I told you before I done everything been playing madden mobile for nearly 5 years now . Definitely know how the auction house works, but this right here is just stupidly.  Putting restrictions on players auction 

We have issues fix them. It's the auction house it's where we all want to sell our players for what ever we want . There shouldn't be you or someone for example telling how to sell or buy players which is stupid. Putting a restriction order on players . That's why yall lost half the players that use to play the game and went somewhere else 

And I'm speaking what's on my mind and on other players mind also. And we all have the same mindset . Did you know I havent played madden mobile for the past 4 or 5 months. Still able to manage and come back hoping something changed , but yall haven't changed 1 bit at all. So this I what I need you to do go to your your working team or what ever and give them our Problems and Solutions for next year madden mobile. Because wants it launches I better not see no copy and pasting over the other years. Speaking for those that cant and wont speak for themselves . 

 I appreciate your thoughtful reply. Some of the players were RTTD and none sold even when priced at just 1000 tokens. I understand the essence of your thesis but I have to counter it by stating that an 89 OVR player for just 1000 tokens or less is a good deal for building player power. Additionally, I am not the only player having this issue. A quick review of the EA Help forum and other online Madden forums reveals that this is a widespread problem effecting many players. I'd like to add that at the same time elites became unsellable that MM stopped awarding diamond players for wins in season mode. Prior, I had been awarded a diamond player plus elites for almost every season mode win. Then, at about the same time elites became unsellable, season mode stopped awarding diamond players for wins. It feels like EA is trying to slow players' ability to build their teams by making elites unsellable and by no longer awarding diamond players for wins in season mode and by other means beyond the scope of this text. Point being, there is definitely an issue with the auction house. I have read numerous reports of experiences with unsellable elites just like mine and I notice tons of elites going unsold at auction regardless of OVR, type of player, or price. There IS an issue, as far as I can ascertain, and I know that I along with every other player having this problem would feel better if EA adjusted the AH bot so that elites would sell again and I wouldn't mind if season mode wins resulted in diamond players being awarded again as they were previously. Thank you for your time and thoughtfulness. - Michael 

Lilawah -  I am writing to state that I totally agree with your points regarding the auction house and to thank you for jumping in and expressing your own and other player's negative AH experiences. Every Madden EA Help representative I have communicated this problem to has stated that there is no problem with the AH and that the issue is with the pricing or type of player being sold. That is not accurate to say the least. I have noticed several other negative changes that EA has made to MM over the last few weeks and it is very disheartening. I wish that EA would listen and make positive changes but I get the feeling that they just don't care about anything but players spending more money. I have over the last two seasons spent more money on MM promotions than the cost of buying the PC or console version and I dislike it when I present actual problems and just get blown off which has happened several times this season compared to last season when EA Help was, well, helpful. I can only hope that if enough players speak up about this AH issue that they will change the AH back to the way it used to be when you could sell players no problem. The way it is now is messed up indeed. 

@EA_Blueberry  You better read what we wrote 

I did read what we posted. What do you mean, exactly? 

I was tagging @EA_Blueberry  so he can read previous what we wrote exactly 

Oops, I missed that obvious tag. My bad I do agree that an EA representative should take our messages to heart because I have noticed more than one negative change in MM over the past month, all of which seem to be based on greed, not what's best for their loyal and supportive (as in paying for Field Passes and other cash content) players. Like season mode ceasing to award diamond players after wins, just in sellable elite. Unlike last season, this season I have had multiple issues with missing content, etc. along with terrible support from EA Help. I don't know what changed at team Madden since last season but whoever is in charge now is risking losing a loyal player over stuff that is clearly greed-driven. Totally uncool. For the 1st time I am actually considering ceasing playing Madden and reporting my many negative experiences with MM  extensively on every possible form of social media. Enough is enough. I am sick of the petty theft of content, lack of real support, being told there is no problem again and again when obviously there is, being ripped off on my field pass purchases and so on. This unsellable elites issue is almost the last straw. EA: do yourself and your customers a favor here and simply do the right thing. No more obvious petty greed moves from total Lack of support to missing content to lower awards for wins to now unsellable elites and so on. It reeks of greed. Please, be the good guys for once. In case you didn't notice, your reputation among customers isn't very flattering. What's right is what's right, bottom line. So pretty please with sugar on top, fix the auction house and every other aspect of MM that is as of now terribly wrong. Do the right thing. Be the good guys. You might like it 🙂 And we your customers surely will appreciate it and continue to support you...if you step up and act like the fair, costumer-oriented corporation you're supposed to be. Take responsibility. Admit to the issues. Then fix it. Or don't admit it and fix things anyway! Guess I should have posted this on its own Oops lol

See here I'm going to post Images of Juliam Edelman for example . That's currently on the auction house right now. And I'm 100% sure he not going to sell. I checked the lowest price for julian Edelman which was 130,000 coins as bid price and max of buy now of at least 140,000 coins. So I want sell my player for cheaper price starting bid 100,000 coins and buy now of 110,000 . Because that how much I want for him.   It's not going to sell for sure . Will come back tomorrow on a update 

That's a prime example he didnt even sell which I'm highly upset about . Fix this issue . My julian Edelman was in fact the cheapest one on the AH and that should been an entire bid war there , but you no yall want to put restrictions on players. And also I had an additional 124 Elite players that didnt sell. 😒

I went to the auction house right now in game and put in the following in the search criteria:

89+ WR under 120K. 

These players showed up. May I ask you why someone would pay 3X more for your Edelman when they can get a higher OVR receiver for under 70K? Below you'll see a set where you can put 80-84 players into a set that can help you towards higher OVR players eligible for Madden Max which increases your power. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your items listed on the auction house other than there isn't any demand from others that are willing to pay that amount for the item that is priced very high for it's power rating ceiling. 

So basically your telling me to go sets and trade him . No that's not how that works you definitely just dont insist on telling me what to do with my player. I should be able post Edelman for that particular price thats way lower than other cards on the auction. See that's yall problem yall want to control people. I want to sell my player .

Hey, I'm just trying to give you some advice on why people aren't buying the player. It's up to you on what you want to do with your players, but the logic I'm trying to relay to you is that there are other items and sets out there that can help players get higher power players with higher overalls, so it's unlikely anyone is willing to purchase those older program items unless they just want to complete a set for Team of the Week. There's players with better stats at lower prices, so it's not that we're restricting you from selling that player, it's just that it doesn't look like nobody wants to purchase the player at that price. You'll have to keep lowering the price until someone finds value in purchasing the player at that price.

The auction house is still functioning as a free market where players dictate the prices, it's just not a player to player transaction. The items go into a holding block with some criteria to help facilitate transactions. The team will update price floors and ceilings throughout the season, but in this case the item isn't selling because of an auction house mechanic, but rather no demand from others willing to bid on it. 

Yeah because you guys put restrictions on AH . I would of put Edelman up for at least 65k or higher as buy now price but noooo it doesnt work and they never sell .
