Auction house drought?

Just checked the auction house and noticed that there was just a tad bit over 5000 players available. 94 and above about 140 players. Have people stopped playing or is it the fact that EA releases so few players this season that is the case? I have never experienced so few players at auction.

    Bad content, game is dead and everything under 92ovr is used as TotS fodder

  • I have seen around 7500 in auction house for total last night it was more… games pretty dead I play the same guys every night. I have been waiting for three weeks now for Artemi panarin team of the season,,, top 5 in points most goals of his career. Yatta yatta yatta and I play guys with jack Hughes tots real fun game when that happens. If the players are picked before the season or the event before hand just tell us in advance at this point so we don’t get our hopes up lol. Haven’t made one tots I have 20 collectibles and ton of * to trade in but I have to wait 3 weeks, absolute drag.

    Gotta be fixed and honestly the fantasy event is the greatest I have followed a few guys I bought cards for all year. Last year they seemed to have had upgrades for all kinds of younger players and this year seems like it is at an absolute minimum. If you search on the auction per league you will see a very minimal amount of upgraded cards. They should focus on AHL or any nhl affiliate teams for younger players to upgrade throughout the year. These guys a professional players just waiting to be called up. 

  • The auction house always seems to be suffering from a drought.

    Part of the reason is that the only was items make it to the auction house is if someone buys a pack (or packs) and posts items for sale.

    Any players/cards that are built from MSP sets, or earned from challenges/objectives/etc are non-tradeable.  

    Any packs in the store that guarantee a player/card from a specific program is non-tradeable.

    Until this model changes the auction house will remain slim pickings.

    I know the NHL market is not nearly the size of Madden but at least there are multiple ways to get players/cards in MUT and the vast majority are tradeable.  Other than limited edition cards they are often reasonably priced and always available.

    Would be nice if:

    Every program had dedicated packs that contained cards/players from that program and they are tradeable.

    Every program had sets that allowed you to build any card released in a program, not just MSPs

    Every program had a way to earn specific cards through challenges rather than build them - these rewards could be non-tradeable

    Coin rewards were such that you can reasonably grind things out and earn enough coins to buy the cards/players that you want

    Just one man's opinion.
