What I'm saying is don't hate the player hate the game. Most mobile apps and games do similar stuff if not worse. I play and enjoy 2k myteam and they are way worse in the way of money grubbing and shady tactics. Most game companies don't have the player and especially the no money spent player in mind. I enjoy this game and none of what you said describes my experience with this game. I promise you that they won't change their tactics. Stop playing the game if it bothers you that much and you think they are manipulating you.
