Put it behind a paywall so casuals are happy?! So the 1% players wouldn’t purchase the playbooks and abuse them in that scenario? The reset season feature is getting abused in part because of 35-50 win requirements to get the top books.
Casuals are the majority of who purchases these games. Let the casual player have access to a better playbook so they have a better chance of competing.
The game is supposed to be about immersion, and fun. It shouldn’t be about beating your head against the wall to get it to a point where it’s fun. Also, once you pay the $70-$100 for the game, it shouldn’t be about purchasing more once inside.
If you like Oregon St, good for you, play on. The immersion and fun for me, as I assume for most, is playing as my favorite team, or alma mater. If EA decided to give that school a trash playbook, or one that doesn’t fit the way I want to play, why should I have to WIN 35-50 games as another school I could care less about or even root against in real life?
It’s a game, let people get their fun and immersion how they see fit. We already spent the money.
