Fantasy to TOTY cost

EA_Aljo​ ,  Shouldn't the Fantasy to TOTY be one for one?

The PWHL cards especially were not free to make. We needed to use our collections to make them (no earn-able collectibles were offered).

In years past, the Fantasy cards were 1 for 1.  Last year, we even got the Fantasy card back as BND

Additionally, the values are off.  The Fantasy trade in set shouldn't be the same cost as the Captains Trade in sets. A PWHL Captain card costs 2x 86ova Captains and 3x 85ova cards vs the PWHL Fantasy cards cost 40 Collectibles. Those 40 Collectibles 26x85s and 13x 84s for 39 (2x85 and 1x 84 for 3 collectibles).

    If I have any other details on that, I'll let you know.

    Yes, but why is a higher overall worth more in this case when the two cards were equally expensive to build during the Fantasy Hockey event? That's what I don't understand.

    It would normally make sense that a higher overall is worth more than a lower overall. But in this case, when the higher overall doesn't mean that the card was more expensive to build, it doesn't make sense to me.

    As you mentioned, the difference in needed collectibles is due to the overalls. A higher overall is worth more so less collectibles are required.

    As far as requiring the FH item + collectibles goes, as with every year, there are going to be changes. I've relayed the feedback here to the team on the addition of requiring collectibles on top of the FH item.

    Thanks for the response. I really hope we can get an explanation from someone who is involved in these decisions. I think it's very strange to make such a huge change, especially when it makes things significantly worse than they used to be, and not explain it at all. I don't think this is how it should go.

    And today's release made it even more confusing. It costs 34 collectibles to trade in Daryl Watts' Fantasy Hockey card for her TOTY card, compared to 36 collectibles with Sarah Fillier. It appears to be because Watts' Fantasy Hockey card is currently at a higher overall than Fillier. But that shouldn't matter. Fillier's Fantasy Hockey card was just as expensive to build as Watts, so her TOTY trade in set shouldn't be more expensive than Watts even though her Fantasy Hockey card is currently at a lower overall. Neither of the Fantasy Hockey to TOTY sets should require any collectibles because they should be 1 for 1 like last year, but one of them should also not be more expensive than the other. I hope you can pass on this feedback as well.

    The best I can tell you is that I'll pass on the feedback. I am not involved in the design behind items and events.

    EA_Aljo​ Please explain this. How on earth can it be that you need to trade in Sarah Fillier's Fantasy Hockey card plus 36 TOTY collectibles to get her TOTY card? Fantasy Hockey cards have been extremely expensive to build this year, especially the PWHL Fantasy Hockey cards as there were no free Fantasy Hockey collectibles available during the PWHL Fantasy Hockey event. Why has that not been factored in to the TOTY set at all?

    And as Phasto said, last year we could trade in a Fantasy Hockey card for a TOTY card 1 for 1 and we even got the Fantasy Hockey card back as BND. Why on earth did you make such a huge change for the worse compared to last year?

    It feels like it has to be a mistake. And not just a small mistake, but a big one. It's completely unbelievable if it's intentional. Anyway, you have to shed some light on this.
