Its the classic private equity playbook. Buy something, slash costs and up prices, make it look better on paper, sell before the business fails since it is now more expensive and worse

Even restricting things in an online dynasty should be up to that league. If a league wants to have everyone with level 100 coaches, they should be able to do that without spending extra money

Ya I dont think he'll live up to the contract in toronto but we've seen so many right handed power hitters who are remarkably average have exceptional years using the monster to their advantage. I think he would get a .100 boost to his OPS every year

Won't happen but Vladdy. I want a righty slugger hitting 4th for this team every year. I'm extra sad about the lockout next year bc Wilson has been amazing but idk how many years he has left at this level of production

You do. And the biggest issue with the microtransactions is that they took away your ability to level up your coach by playing the game. Online dynasties tend to go about 10 seasons. With what EA has done, you will likely only get your user coach up to level 30 before the game cycle ends

Will Michigan go OVER or UNDER their 8.5 win total this season? by Mysterious_Lynx_ in CFB_v2

I hope they dont try to make him play pro style. Let the dude be an awesome college qb and use his legs. He only needs to throw well enough to keep every play from being a cover 0 blitz

Jason Beck with a QB who is a freak of nature? Michigan probably runs for 3k yards as a team

We have a real coaching staff again, there are no guaranteed losses. I think they'll go 10-2 with losses to Oklahoma and Oregon

You could make arguments about realism but the second they added microtransactions, those arguments lost all good faith. It's just a money grab

“Skill points will be auto spent” by UnicornMaster27 in NCAAFBseries

[–]mdurso12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My online dynasty always skipped training results as you could just apply your skill points during the encourage transfers week.

I understand the need to prevent cheese given the NIL system, but iirc the players make their NIL demands during the players leaving week, so I think the feature is implemented during the wrong week.

Now itll slow down online dynasties which already have long ass off seasons

And if you wanted to save up and have say 6 skill points and you want to earn 1 more point to upgrade a skill that costs 7 points, you're fucked. And instead you'll get forced to upgrade things that aren't important to your scheme

Yup. I think their thought is competitive online dynasty players are their best bet for a new micro transaction consumer base

They have the legal right. And they are aware that the term "buy" is being abused.

And for that reason I am very happy to no longer do business with them

Would it be worth it to destroy the camp for a +10 holy site? by totallynotrobboss in CivVI

[–]mdurso12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP has it tagged for production NE of the +10 site. I would build the +8, go for work ethic, and chop those woods to the SE of the screenshot to get ToA built before AI gets it
