Help me understand

EA_Aljo​ 

Why does EA ignore the community every year?

It’s the same problem every year, it’s summer, the hockey season is over, fewer and fewer people are playing, fewer packs are being opened, and fewer players are available on the Auction House.

And yet, cards that can’t be built are constantly being released.

Why is that?

Is it just pure greed? Or is there another explanation?

If Hischier had received a Transactions Card instead of an Event Card … as he should have, the card would be obtainable, since Transactions Cards have sets. But there are 0 cards

NHL players like him, team captains, should be available to everyone who wants such cards, not just as banners

It’s the same problem every year ... but why?

    And I'm appreciate that you're passing the feedback forward, but we both know it won't do any good

    The feedback is recognized. I understand not all of it gets acted on and obviously that's frustrating. It does make a difference though. There have been changes made based on community input. I've sent yours over to the team so they are aware of how you feel.

    Edit: We have had more buildable sets this year. I understand they aren't all for items you're interested it, but the point remains that there are more buildable items. Which is something the community requested. Previously, everything was in packs, but now there are a higher number of buildable players. We've done this all year for event cards. Some are only in packs.

    Hischier received an Event Card yesterday, and that's exactly the problem. 

    Only event fodder cards and Masters are buildable.

    If Hischier had received a Transactions Card instead, he would be buildable.

    And I'm appreciate that you're passing the feedback forward, but we both know it won't do any good ... The community has been asking for years for all cards to be available during the summer, and for years nothing has changed for the better, in fact, the opposite ... at least we used to have those random team sets in the summer

    Hello. I will pass on your feedback. I don't have any insight into Hischier getting an event card. Thanks!
