Discounted players/packs
Not sure if this fits better in one of the stickied topics.
I'm from the UK and in the UK there's laws about how discounts and other offers are displayed. I see offers in NFL Manager where the text will show something like "[X]% off, £[Y]". In the UK I believe that a product has to be offered at the original, non-discounted price before it can be advertised as being available at a discounted price.
With many of the offers I see, I've not seen them offered at the original, non-discounted price. I imagine that in other EU countries there are similar laws regarding how discounts can be presented and it's probably a good idea that FTB look into that and adjust how offers are displayed in countries where they might be (unknowingly) breaking a law.

Yes absolutely.
I looked at this too trying to figure out where the original pack price came from because the items on offer don't exist as a purchase anywhere else. Not in the quantities that make up the discounted pack anyway :(
Then I had the same thought as the original poster. In UK it's definitely not allowed.

Hi guys,
The %off that you're seeing is basically showing that the real value of that kind of offer is X, but you're getting it for Y, which is Z% less than it's real value, but we'll check further into this. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
For any additional questions like this, please kindly send them in our "General Questions" thread so we can keep the forum as organized as possible.
Thanks!
The FTB Team -
Another game I play (I won’t mention the name as this is the FTB forums) displays offers like that in the UK as ‘[A]x value’, where A represents the difference between the ‘real’ value and the value its being offered at. This way the same information is conveyed, but it complies with UK law.
