Baby Mets Apologist. I know ball better than you. Don’t believe me? Try me:) Follow if you’re capable of critical thinking…

Why are slow and slowest even options for XP progression? If anything, normal should be the only option if you’re going to take away fast and faster. I have met zero people that use the slow or slowest XP sliders.

At the end of the day, the video game is a sandbox simulation game. You should have the ability to play the offline portion of the game the way you want to play it.

EA took a fun OFFLINE game mode and is focused on “offsetting gameplay advantages.” Wtf are we doing? 😂 @EASPORTSCollege

Just say you want people to spend money on the micro transactions you added because the gaslighting will NOT work #CFBPlayDontPay

[PAC @CatholicPacman]

There was a silent agreement. Guys like us tolerated the aggressive, predatory microtransactions in Ultimate Team. And looked the other way while EA made billions selling digital card packs.

In exchange, EA was supposed to honor our traditional, single-player offline modes (Dynasty and Road to Glory) as the pure core of their simulation football game and leave it out of their money-grab architecture.

What they did wrong with #CFBPlayDontPay might seem like a small thing, but the outrage is what it is because we all recognize this is EA heading in a direction that tears up that treaty. It’s a wake up call.

They got greedy and invaded our territory.

—

‼️ the massive business reality that these executives completely take for granted is guys like us are the ones who give these football franchises their year-round relevance, cultural gravity, and authenticity.

WE are the ones keeping the game alive 365 days a year on all social media.

Without our organic, authentic community providing a baseline of sports credibility, the game loses its soul.

EA uses our passion and approval to market the game, but then they continue to pervert the only part of the game we actually buy these games for.

How is that supposed to work?

@ion_fk_around @xxTeeTop @EASPORTSCollege EA is literally grifting in this instance. You are not fiscally literate.

@ion_fk_around @xxTeeTop @EASPORTSCollege Are you literate?

Smh this is not 2k, this ruins the 2 star build!

Boomer take alert, but I'll own it💯

Anthony Rendon is not a LHH. He never has been.

Yet last night he batted left handed in the 8th.

Playing MLB should never be trivial. Many guys bust their asses for years and never get the opportunity. Terrible look.

@DanClarkSports They’ve got a position player pitching so I think we can leave the righteous sanctimony at home and let them have some fun 🙄

[Token’s (Not So Hot) Takes @ImTheToken]

@DanClarkSports @LuisRobertMuse Fun is not in your vocabulary is it?

It’s the entertainment industry at the end of the day and what chourio did was entertaining.

[Token’s (Not So Hot) Takes @ImTheToken]

@bordeauxyoutube @EASPORTSCollege Like I’ve said previously, they don’t even have to remove them. They’re honestly fine, Some people are impatient, so let them spend their money, but, the XP sliders have to be reimplemented for the micro transactions to be reasonable. Otherwise, you’re just grifting.

[Bordeaux @bordeauxyoutube]

IDGAF about a partnership. Make a stand against micro transactions in Dynasty and RTG. Take them out and bring XP sliders back @EASPORTSCollege #CFBPlayDontPay

[Token’s (Not So Hot) Takes @ImTheToken]

@TopTierAlabama @CFBDirect @ETGEACOLLEGE They don’t even have to remove it. That’s not the issue. I’m fine with it for people that are impatient, but don’t take the XP sliders out. They aren’t mutually exclusive. They literally just have to add the sliders back, sacrificing a couple dollars, and this would blow over.

[Token’s (Not So Hot) Takes @ImTheToken]

@DanBartels2 Shh don’t say anything! If you acknowledge him playing well, he shits the bed immediately after!

[Token’s (Not So Hot) Takes @ImTheToken]

@CJFWrites What happens if I don’t have the money and I also don’t want to grind/have time to grind 8 hours a day?

What if I’m a kid getting home from school and want to play the SANDBOX game with my own progression sliders?

Does that clear it up for you?

[Token’s (Not So Hot) Takes @ImTheToken]

@Mets @moomoo A whole solo post for a single is kinda crazy.

[Token’s (Not So Hot) Takes @ImTheToken]

@Asian_boywonder @MrSki_Z @GaigeAnderson3 @itsdomyoutube Imagine being a little kid and you want to speed up progression in a SANDBOX game, but you can’t because you have to beg mom/dad for their credit card.

1. That is harmful to kids with less means

2. It takes away the freedom you have to play the game the way you want to

[Token’s (Not So Hot) Takes @ImTheToken]

@Asian_boywonder @MrSki_Z @GaigeAnderson3 @itsdomyoutube That’s not even the biggest point. If players want to speed up progress, don’t force them to pay for it. The option to grind quicker should be available AND the option to pay for it should be there, but it should NOT be one or the other (especially to the monetary side).
