It was a very dry Sunday for content in FIFA 23, but FUT 23 Coins I have not posted since Saturday so I still had some catching up to do over the holiday weekend. Let’s first start with the return of some old SBCs as they seemed to rile up some fans, and I have some quick comments on the reaction.

Quincy Promes has been having a fantastic season (before his injury). His Ones To Watch card was relatively expensive when it was first released, and so “smart” people did the SBC banking on him doing well during the year and getting multiple in-form upgrades. He has arguably been “stiffed” by the FIFA team as before his injury he had 4 goals in 5 Champions League matches, plus another 10 goals and 3 assists for Ajax in the Eredivisie. He probably deserves more upgrades than he’s received, but this card is awesome either way.

The price is only 20K or so right now on PS4, according to FIFA 23. It’s one of the most obvious SBCs ever to do, but some people are mad because they either invested in his in-form card or wanted more leverage for the SBC they did months ago. I get that people want to feel like they got an advantage over someone else for a smart investment, but it’s hard for me to understand people wanting the FIFA developers to make SBCs more expensive or simply to never release them again overall.

Regardless, re-releasing this SBC is a good thing. Not everyone gets the game at or around launch. Not everyone had coins at the time to afford him. On top of that, as good as this card is as an 84 overall, it’s not some game-breaking card that had to be hidden from the world. Promes’ in-form card existed on the marketplace either way and so you could get this card in some form or another.

People who took the “risk” and bought in on this SBC early have to understand this is still an SBC and you’re not directly “making coins” off it. Yes, some people get to get the card now for cheaper, but you have already had months to “profit” off this card in terms of getting to use it when others had to buy the in-form versions. If other people wanted Promes before now, chances are a lot of them already paid a premium on the marketplace to get him that way FUT 23 Coins buy . Should those people also be frustrated because now the SBC is out again?
