I'm tired of the grind already, am I just being weak?

Grinding takes the fun out of the game. With the endorsement incentives I'm playing like myplayer has 50 kids, 30 houses, 80 cars, and payment is due tomorrow on all the bills.

I remember having a god squad in Madden Ultimate team 11 about 9 years ago, then having it all taken from me & having to start from scratch in MUT 12. Then doing the same when 13 game out, etc.....


Eventually, I came to my senses that I wasn't gonna put up with the endless yearly cycle of that nonsense: which was to get hyped for crappy cards in the fall, get hyped for decent cards in the winter, get hyped for great cards in the spring, and then finally getting hyped for the best cards in the summer.



That business model is an endless rotation that has spread to MyTeam in 2k too. MyCareer is the same thing: Grind & grind for days making your guy good, then having to redo the entire thing once the new game comes out.


Don't be miserable, just find a new game or pay the VC.

I wondered why I was really disinterested in MyCareer this year. This crystallized it for me. I am bored to death with the whole grind aspect of it all. It used to be about the experience itself, of being an NBA player, coming into the league. Stuff like the MJ flu game and stuff like that. It was my favorite mode until thew last 3 iterations being so manipulative and grindy. Fortunately I still play and enjoy myleague.

waiting for them to implement buying badges, its the last bastion of microtransactions. I would buy and i hate to say i would, but time is money. I buy my way to an 85 every year and i'm not ashamed to say i do.

When you can only play a few hours a week, grinding in a mode that doesn't give you enjoyment (for me thats solo mycareer) isn't gonna happen. I wouldnt want the ability to buy all badges, because that wouldn't be fair (even though glitchers got a bunch). I'd love a badge booster pack, maybe 10 badge points max that you could buy and assign.

I was just telling my homie that this was the next step due to how STRONG badges are now. For example, if you take 91 rated Russ and remove all his badges I believe his rating is an 82 or less. That definitely coming down the line.

I'm finding this with my career this year as well, although I have played to around the all star break on my first season. Didn't buy any VC and am currently a 90 overall but seeing the VC incentives have all been reduced I guess this isn't possible now for a new player.
