FIFA 16 News

As you may know, all the cheating, cheap Fifa 16 coins glitching and insanely high prices have been the norm for PC since FIFA 12, and for us PC users it's really nothing new. It was so bad that someone in the EA forum actually ended up making a program to counter the auto-quitting bot. The fact that he didn't make one for FUT15 because "that's EA's job" just shows the sad state the PC version is in. If cheating and inflation was not such a big problem on consoles like they were this year, things would not have been any different on PC this year.

 

But now that console prices are out of hand, EA decides to adjust the price cap based on console prices. For the first time in like 4 years, we had cheap prices in the market. You can actually trade your way to Messi and Ronaldo, but that was taken away from us in matter of weeks. In a lot of ways PC market would have been better off if EA just left it alone like they have been since FIFA 12. The market was not out of hand like it was in the consoles, and people were ok with it despite the fact that their pre-web app crash investments were losing value.

 

 

IMO, everything that has been happening on PC shows just how little EA cares about the PC user base. Also, let's not forget that next gen feature was omitted on FIFA 14 altogether for bogus reasons and EA didn't even make current gen FIFA on PC until FIFA 11

 

I skipped FIFA 14 because of I was frustrated with Fifa 16 coins ps4, and personally what happened with the market this year has given me more than enough reason to boycott EA for good. For those who might be thinking about getting PC versions in the future, I suggest you guys stick with consoles, because PC will never get the attention that the consoles get in this game. With the new price cap, the market might work out on consoles next year, but if there are any new PC-specific cheating problems again, I highly doubt EA will to do anything about it.

What I don't understand is since you invest in players before the crash and then sell them afterwards your profit does not matter as other players you want to buy are more expensive now. For example: let's say: at the peak of the crash aguero is 200k and yaya is 200k. You invest in yaya and he goes up to 300k, and you sell him making ~ 100k profit. With your Fifa 16 account you want to buy aguero. He too as gone from 200k to 300k. Therefore there was actually no gain.

 

I understand you can get a good amount of profit in the long run, but that means waiting it out and many people like myself want to play.

Or yaya could go up more than aguero...

 

Why not just sell before the crash and buy during?

If my assumptions are wrong please tell me, this is the first year I have looked at trading.

 

 

You've got it slightly wrong. The trick is to invest in players during the crash, not before. You sell all your players before the crash, to make a lot of coins while players are still expensive. Then, once the crash happens you buy your players back for less money AND you buy other, popular players which you then sell once the crash ends and all prices have gone back up.

 

in the end, its all the same thing, but by buying during the crash and selling after, you're profiting in order to buy a dream team during toty when the prices are the lowest they will be the entire fifa cycle. buying during and selling after is more of a way to gain Fifa 16 coins in order to sell before and buy during. that might have been a little confusing but it made sense in my head :)

 

Honestly Dec 12th would be the safest time to sell. There will be a dip pre-xmas in anticipation of new players opening packs, a dip after xmas when new players actually are opening packs, a dip around new years in anticipation of TOTY and a dip after TOTY as more packs are opened. You should be able to play all of these dips to make money, but the safest time to get the maximum price for what you have now would be next Friday.
