Well put my friend and I think we all need to remind ourselves these pay-to-play/dynasty modes are PURE DOPAMINE hits. These companies are essentially DOP dealers.
Found it much easier to quit illegal substances than it's been these game modes since the harm it is doing to you isn't noticeable until you take a step back.
Appreciate the reminder that I needed my friend

As a teacher, it would take me a decade , to arrive at 40k per year in the State of Idaho. And that's not a living wage here either. But I understand. 70k would be very difficult to get by on in California.
Move to Canada. Our dipshit teachers average 88K/year here. That doesn't include gold plated benefits and pension
Didn't your leader lock down bank accounts of his own citizens because they were honking their own trucks?
Rather be homeless in Hawai'i than ever step foot on leaf land
There's a simple fix for this
Since people are still dashboarding in the 1st 3 innings, going back to wins is the only move
HOWEVER, since people lose on purpose to go to a lower tier, how about once you reach a tier, you can not go back down. This eliminates the people who were actually exploiting the game, stops the dashboarders and brings back the 30 wins for those that don't have the reflexes of a someone on 90mg of adderoll.
I've never checked out SDS as a company before Based on their 2004 web 2.0 homepage, error message when attempting to apply for a job and seeing that the average salary is around $77k for a video game programmer in the San Diego area (which is the same as $40k for someone down south) - we're clearly dealing with a small business with limited resources.
They last game they made aside from The Show was in 2017
Clearly they're not attracting the best and brightest in the industry. I worked for MLB.com/Bamtech a few years back and I'm assuming they're on or just above the level of the RBI production crew who sat in the section next to mine.
This year, it's far more about microtransactions due to the bad rewards (aside from the main program bosses) and removal of TA - you gotta rip packs. So you either spent 1/2 your day flipping/echanging or pony up real dollars to have any shot at coming close to the LS collection. Play 16 hours a day to complete RS unless you're a top, top player.
With that said - if you're moving in the direction of microtransactions, those funds HAVE TO BE reinvested in to finding better talent in the production/coding department. If they're not and you come out with the same BS next year...well....RIP
Good luck
