If the grind is as heavy* as they say it is, it should be more expensive to skip it. I would feel cheated if I worked super hard to get to an 85 and that's easily matched by a guy with no time who just had $40 extra dollars to spare. It's one of the reasons I don't play GTA V anymore. The grind will never amount to disposable income.

Also I only spend minor VC on upgrades, because I want to be reasonably & realistically skilled, not come in as a rookie already better than most the guys in the league.

*This is only if the grind is as hard as they say it is.

...it's been a complaint Because some people don't think you should be allowed to buy VC.

Honestly, I'd have no problem grinding the old fashioned way if it were quicker and if I didn't work like 60 hours a week. I'll jump to 85, then work my *** off to get higher.

This is what it boils down to every time on the VC vs. No VC argument. I've even seen it suggested that people who work should not bother playing since they don't have time to play the "right way".

This is a crazily overblown subject, honestly.

Truly am glad that VC is an option should I ever get too busy to play the grind. This is coming from an almost strictly offline player.

It is nice the option is there. "The problem is the punks with their dad's credit card" well I'm sure he'll get the whoopin he deserves when dad finds out won't he?

What's the alternative? "If you can't spend 'x' months grinding then play something else"?

Hell no.

And good Jesus it's not that hard to beat a 90+ scrub with a 70-80 guy anyway.

Like stated before, an incredibly overblown subject.

This thread wasn't meant to pin free users vs paying users.

This VC hike hurts both player bases.

Free players will have to grind more for same results.
Paying players will have to pay more for same results.

I can't think of another 5 on 5 online mode besides this one, where when the game is bought, users are presented with two options:

1. Grind for many hours, days, weeks, to get your player to be skilled enough to compete online

2. Pay for a shortcut

A happy medium to me is if they started us somewhere near 70, so that our player at least has a single valuable skill, and be able to contribute because of good IQ.

There is a grind in FIFA but you are still capable players and are rewarded for good play. If someone joins the team later in the year they can slot right in, instead of saying "Give me a few days where all I do is play offline against the CPU so I am not a liability."

I don't care either way I don't play online because it's all pay to win. That's the model and idiots soak it up and pay for it.

Got two questions for you. How many hours did you spend in those two weeks, and you started playing on HOF at 55? You were able to get 1000 VC with a 55 overall? I know you can get a decent grade by just moving ball and playing D, but it's pretty tough to put up any kind of significant numbers with a low rated player.

Getting to an 88 took about 150k. So if you add endorsements, accolades, mobile app, etc., then it sounds like you played nearly an entire season in two weeks?
