Only this crew could make Thunderstruck promo garbage

I think the idea is to stall the power creep that this series has suffered through the last few years. But I guess some people are never content. And afaik the cards haven't even been revealed. If they end up having 10 PS and a PS+ it's already nice. Nobody is going to jump for joy if they pack a TOTY if these Thunderstrucks are just as good...

The discussion at EA headquarters 

I've an idea it's that thunderstruck promo coming up that people loved, upgrading cards through real life games was fun and engaging, let's just not touch it and leave it alone if was one of very few successes 

Oh no we can't have that get rid of that , don't have them upgrading just give them some stupid role or play style that'll do them 

But they loved the upgrading cards , I thought we were listening??

Nah can't be having fun in this game , roles it is , weve heard them but we've decided to ignore them and give them the opposite to what they want , never say we'd listen and give them what they want did we 

Ok fair enough, hopefully a few sucker's will think it's the same as last time and plunge some money into the store 

Yeah they will ...........kerching 

Absolute rubbish , the whole idea of the promo is for cards to upgrade not stay the same, it's beyond stupid, and if you believe this slowing the power curve junk take a look in the store at all the packs , it's an excuse to either release virtually nothing or junk unless you buy it from the store , a promo were players upgrade with real life performance does nothing to the power curve whatsoever
