Active Ability Points

That's the whole point of the limit, so that not everyone has an ability active and that you have to choose who has them and who doesn't. It's all part of the tactics of the game. 

Tactics? If anything its a misdirectional scam. You do remember from years past. They slowly increase the level  till the end of the year, usually in Oct where they then allow the max. So once again. How is this a tactic in limiting only certain players to be enhanced. You buy players at high costs. Packs are super expensive. And then you get a limit on your players abilities. 

Its all up to you to decide if you want to have shutdown on an extra defenseman or have wheels on a 3rd liner. That's all up to you, with limited resources comes tactics. There's nothing else to it, its not rocket science, its how the game is played and has been played for a long time. This is why they have free abilities right now, this is where you "make your money", so to speak.

I think your last phrase should be. "How THEY, make their money." I do get your drift where you are coming from.  I just feel that almost 6 months this game has been on the market. And they restrict the abities to 12. Somehow. I don't believe the word Tactic came into their intention. $ certainly did and does. Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate it. GL in your games.
