    SDS doesn't make more money if you play longer since most people are not buying stubs or the game these days.

    That is an assumption. It is probably safe to say they are making less than they were in May but I am sure people who don't want to grind are still buying bosses and other cards that are new on the market and they may buy stubs to do so.

    The bottom line is that if people are still playing the game in any capacity then that is, at least, the potential to make some stub sales. If people quit the game altogether then even that potential is lost.

    My point is that SDS is not selling the game to potential buyers anymore. People buying stubs now are going to do it either way. SDS rolls content out as well or better than any other sports game out there. Those developers have to balance this year game and next years game far earlier than you think. You are looking at it as they can still make money this year. I am looking at it like they are focusing on next year and the year afters goals at this point.

    I think the OP is overestimating how much time most people have for this game. I've maxed every program so far but I typically don't hit 650k until there's just a few days left in an inning, and several times I would have fallen short without double xp. We don't all play every day like it's our full time job.
