@X-FREEZE-OFF-X said in Whatever happened to just playing a game because you like that sport it's representing?:
Was Sets and Seasons awful? No really. Was it poorly planned?
The idea behind it was for people to not use the SAME cards all year long.
The MAIN problem was releasing all those 99s early.
Granted, by Season 3, cards you grinded for/with weren't, other than one WC spot, weren't 'usable' in online and some offline modes.
I put usable in quotes because you could still use them, outside of the WC spot, in some offline modes. You just wouldn't get program specific credit for those cards.
I think if they started out with Golds and a few low Diamonds, with Set 1 and gradually moved their way up Set afterwards; it would've worked better.
Alot of you are saying that you won't buy until you find out if they're bringing back Sets and Seasons.
Me personally; I'd like to see them bring it back. But tweak it the way I mentioned above.
On a different note; those of you who say they won't buy if they bring back Sets and Seasons, and will NOT buy the game, all I can say is that at least the forum won't be as toxic as it was this year.
At least it's better then Madden, NBA2K and Diablo 4
