 Thanks for the reply. First of all, I did not mention anything about offline, so I don't know where you got that from. I would have have to disagree, Just for the fact that for bronze,silver, and gold cards; You really don't need to buy packs with real currency. And if you do, you are limited on what you can do/use depending on what division you are in.  What I have proposed doesn't give a huge advantage for players that buy packs to advance in divisions when maybe skill wise, they shouldn't be in the division that they currently are in. The system how It is right now. I can spend 400$, have legendary cards and shoot up to division 6 with in two days. That is pay to win which that adds pressure on with players in the community to buy packs and again, that leads to pay to win.. Whether we agree or disagree, There does need to be more of a balance between buying packs with real currency and skill and allow both to benefit each other and taking away the pay to win. Like I said.  S

for 2017 and 2018, I was a division 2 player and all of a sudden for 2019, I couldn't get out of division 9 and I was facing people that spent who knows how much real currency on pack. I was so frustrated I snapped my 2019 xbox copy in half. And swore to myself, I will just stick with 2017 until this issue is resolved.  Whether EA takes my idea and comes up with a different system.I actually haven't had xbox live gold membership in over a year now. The only reason I had gold was to play HUT. So just from me, that's 250$ a year lost towards EA and the developers of xbox.

    EA sports, If you don't believe me. Gamer tag is ultimatepig and you can see when the last time I played a game was well over a year ago.

    I frequently get accused of using mom's credit card to get my wins. I have a 97 OVR team I got by grinding Squad Battles, Rivals and the occasional HUT Champs/CS. I play all the challenges as well. Because of all that grinding, I've been able to earn coins and collectibles that I've used to keep upgrading my team. I've also gotten lucky with some really good pulls. Not everyone can put that much time into the game though so I can get the frustration of feeling like you can't compete without buying packs. However, that's kind of the trade-off. Like most anything in life, you can spend money to get a shortcut. 

    Online Versus is a pretty competitive mode. That's a better fit for many that don't have the time to grind or don't want to buy packs.

    Oh I just meant it's similar to the offline tournaments that require you to play with specific builds/players/nationalities etc.

    I've never agreed with the pay to win (or at the very least pay to compete) nature of the mode; this is why I stick with EASHL.
