Update: Trading
As mentioned earlier today, the current trading window will be the last for a while here on Ultimate Team. It's something I have been thinking about ever since I started this league. There was never meant to be a trading system in UT. Players would come from packs and only from packs. I am going to outline the reasons I have made this decision:
- Trading has become the main source of players which is going away from the original concept of this league.
- Trades have increasing become bigger, more complicated and harder to moderate. It takes too much time to go through it all and sort out conflicts, mistakes and balancing issues. The straw that broke the camel's back was when I had to spend 2 hours chasing up people on two trades. Never again.
- This will enable managers who don't have a lot of time to spend on here the same chance as every other team to build a strong team as everyone will have to do so from the same source: packs.
- This will free up more time for myself to work on improving the league rather than being sent on a wild goose chase.
As packs will become the central focal point for managers, prices will need to be changed. The good news is that the prices will be going down. I'll be working throughout the season to adjust prices and possibly pack compositions.
The ultimate goal of this change is to balance up the league. If I find it hasn't worked, I fear the only way to go is to reset the league. But let's cross that bridge if we come to it.
TL;DR: No more trading!
Thanks for all your support. Hope you're enjoying this league as much as I am running it. Let's get back to the fun!
