@TripleH-4481_PSN yup exactly. Them not being like Madden and 2K is what used to set them apart. It feels very much like they have gone the pay to play route that those other ones go.
There used to be "Daily Collections" and other things like Team Affinity exchanges that would give people a reason to still buy cards like bronze and silver after completing the live series collection. Right now there is no reason to ever purchase any bronze or silver so their buy nows are constantly near quick sell value and impossible to flip.
It just feels deliberate and that they've gone out of their way to kill flipping with the hopes that people will shove more money their way. And that really sucks.
