I've always been a big sports gamer, but in recent years it's just been an increasingly frustrating experience. There's little to none innovation from year to year when it comes to the franchise modes and other offline modes. All the attention is put in to the different gaming franchises version of ultimate team. 2K is starting to put a lot of attention in to their MyCareer mode though, but not with focusing on making offline part better, everything is focused on selling VC via microtransactions in order for gamers to compete in the park and in ProAm. They cap the MyPlayer like crazy even if you're only playing offline, which makes no sense.

I understand that it's good business from the developers, but I really think it's getting out of hand. It's increasingly hard to enjoy the offline modes for guys - like myself - who enjoy sim, but there's also kind of an ethical dilemma in it. Kids are getting downright scammed on modes like Ultimate Team - this goes for 2K, FIFA, Madden, UFC etc. - and are literally stealing their parents credit cards to nurture their addiction. Pretty crazy to think about. You already payed for the game, so rational adults would know better than to additionally pay for a worthless UT card, but kids obviously doesn't have the same power of judgement and developers are taking advantage of that. It's similar to drug abuse, not even bullsh*tting here. Same goes for MyCareer/Park/ProAm: devs put crazy caps on the players and make it an incredible GRIND to see any progression at all, which makes kids more liable to go out and just skip some of the steps by buying some VC with real money. It's kind of a scam, and I really hope the consumer opens their eyes one day and make the responsible pay for it by simply stop buying the bs micro transactions.

Anyway, that's my opinion. Am I completely wrong here?
