[Trackball]

And now for the most important question about this mode:

Are there still no microtransactions whatsoever?

They will probably say that like last year, but there is still equipment, so it still won't really be true. At least the CAPs have apparently been lifted, so buying equipment will no longer be the only way to get your player to their maximum potential

Don't get me started on that. Yes, they removed the ability to purchase training points directly from the mode, but you you would still need to venture into DD to get the equipment, and the best equipment was probably going to require that you purchase stubs, especially with all the equipment slots available.

So, technically there were micro transactions in RTTS. You just had to go into another mode to access them.

Looks impressive on the surface. I didn't touch RTTS at all last year, but I can see that changing if all these new features pan out. Thursday should be fun.

Doesnt matter if you got drafted by the team you want, you're going to get traded 3 times anyway lol

Unless they allow you to choose your storyline (early rounds pick, late round pick, etc.), though I doubt it

This was one of the few things madden did well in their CFM when creating a player. You would choose the background story. If you were a top pick you started at a higher overall, but progressed slower, middle pick was average on both ends, and late pick was lower overall but you progressed quickly.

The big things we need are 1) better logic and with that dynamic potential. Something based on how fast your player is progressing/earning points that determines what your new potential is, and is constantly changing until your 2nd or 3rd season in the bigs. The other thing is potential ALWAYS needs to be at or higher than your ovr, no reason why our 93 rated player should have a C potential. So thats #1.

And 2), physical attributes like height and weight need to be accounted for more with attributes. A 6' 300 pd player should not have 99 speed, a 5'8 player should not have 1st baseman skills, shorter players should start with better plate vision because their K zone is smaller but taller players should start with more power, etc etc.

Would love to see that happen actually. IL is a dumb gimmick IMO and when combined with overly small divisions it makes for ridiculous schedules. But dammit, I still want The Show to get those ridiculous schedules right.
