Market Mastery – Buy 3 Items

Platform: PlayStation 5
Game Mode: Ultimate Team → Objectives → Foundations → Market Mastery

Issue:
The “Market Mastery – Buy 3 Items” objective is not progressing even after buying multiple items. I’ve purchased more than 3 items on the Transfer Market using the Buy Now option, including both players and consumables, but the challenge remains incomplete.

Steps Tried:

  • Bought 3 different items (players, consumables, kits).
  • Bought with Buy Now (not bidding).
  • Restarted the game and console.
  • Waited several hours for sync.

Result:
Progress either doesn’t update at all, or only counts 1 purchase out of several.

Expected Result:
Objective should complete once 3 items are purchased via the Transfer Market.

Additional Notes:

  • Transfer Market is unlocked.
  • Other objectives in the same group (e.g. Create Listings, Buy a Player) worked fine.
  • Issue appears widespread (other players also reporting it).

Please investigate and fix, or confirm if there’s a specific condition required for this objective to track properly.

    Hello EA, 

    I am now experiencing this same error.  It appears to be stuck and not allowing progression to complete the Weekly Objective.
