Latest Market Pick Changes
As of today’s reset, FC Mobile has introduced a new currency system for Market Picks in the Extra Time event. The old Market Pick Tokens are now expired and have been replaced by the new Extra Time Tokens. Players who have leftover Market Pick Tokens can exchange them for an 80-92 OVR mixed player pack in the Daily Picks tab of the exchange menu. This transition was announced during an earlier EA stream, where they urged players to spend their old tokens, as they would no longer be usable after the update.
New Extra Time Picks
Along with the currency change, EA has introduced revamped picks in the Extra Time section, giving players new options to gain cards
1. Daily Pick: Costs 200 gems and rewards a 70-96 OVR pack, with the added chance of packing URP Mascherano.
2. Untradable Pick: This pick requires 30,000 Extra Time Tokens and offers untradable cards with a chance to pull a 100-103 OVR card. It's geared towards players who want higher-tier cards but don't mind them being untradable.
3. Scouting Pick: This option gives tradable cards between 97-103 OVR and requires 25,000 Extra Time Tokens. It offers players the flexibility to either use or sell the cards.
4. Trick or Treat Pick: A combination of tradable and untradable cards is available in this pick. 96-101 OVR cards are tradable, while 101-103 OVR cards are untradable. It requires 12,500 Extra Time Tokens, making it an attractive option for players looking for high OVR cards.
Each pick option includes detailed information on the probability of obtaining each OVR card, helping players assess their chances of pulling top players.
Player Reactions
Despite the excitement surrounding the new picks and currency system, players have expressed significant frustration due to the high cost of the exchanges. The steep number of Extra Time Tokens required for these picks has made it challenging for many players to participate fully in the event. Users have found it difficult to collect enough tokens without spending additional resources, leading to widespread disappointment within the community.
While the revamped picks offer the potential for high-OVR cards, many players feel that the cost of performing these picks is too expensive, and it is now much harder to obtain valuable cards compared to previous market systems. The cost of exchanging for Extra Time Tokens has also increased, adding to the overall difficulty in completing these picks.
Conclusion
The new Extra Time Tokens and revamped picks offer fresh opportunities for FC Mobile players, but the increased costs have left many frustrated. Although the new system brings variety and the chance for top-tier cards, the difficulty of obtaining enough tokens for exchanges has dampened player enthusiasm. EA may need to re-evaluate the token requirements to ensure that the event remains accessible and enjoyable for the majority of users.
