Let me tell you how shady EA is...
I had no desire to get any of the GTs this year. Made it a lot easier for me.

That being said, I think there is some merit to noticing that they saved the best for last (and safety gronk for second to last).

Quote from Shazzy >> The high prices are due to China and the lack of promos
Or the Q43 promo were you could have easily of made 2mil to 30 million coins or the Ultimate Legend collectibles that made me an easy 50 million coins. Not including the legend and elite gameplans thats still being manipulated.
Just make Boss Rhodes in a couple weeks. He looks awesome. GTs were kinda lame.

The more expensive he is, the more players that can't afford him. If you can't buy him in the AH, your only choice is spending MC. If you don't have enough, you have to pay cash to buy more.
Now you may or may not have pieced this together but let me connect the dots for you regarding GT Evans
1. Leaving him for the last day Evans was the community-voted player. EA knew without a shadow of a doubt that he was going to be the most sought-after and expensive. By leaving him for the last day, they made him one of the most rare GT players, which are already almost the rarest run of players (looking at you, draft bosses). They also knew that people would have blown coins already, either not knowing who the next GTs were (we aren't all living on these forums), or expecting Evans to be significantly cheaper than he is.
2. Making him 1 of 3 The decision to put Evans with Chancellor and Barr was not an accident. You and I both know that people bought the 10k MC bundle, looked at the options, and picked someone other than Evans (although with most picking Evans, the cost for the other two is unnaturally high. Additionally, even though the wording of the barbecue pack says you can pull any gt, I suspect that every day the chance of getting that day's GT was higher. This means that the random chance of getting Evans is even lower.
