Ten cents a day. I mean, I could ask a random person oncce a day for a dime. "Hey, you got a dime on ya?" As long as you don't look like a bum most people will smile and be, all like, sure thing.

Anyway, you're comparing a $30,000 car to a 40 dollar game. I get that you don't want to play the game until the things you want to see fixed are fixed. But to try and use the money factor as your closing argument weakens everything you said. Your closing argument should have been about the pitcher that becomes a coach that had a better coach rating at hitting than pitching.

Small things I know...But you should have led off with money thing (the weakest argument) and finished with your strongest point.
My point wasn't that I couldn't afford it. Admittedly, I'm cheap, yes. I hate spending money on myself, but I could certainly afford it.

I think my best explanation was about the classic car -- when you have a fully restored classic car that shines in the sunlight, it looks kinda silly when you have splotches of bird poop on the windsheild. Take a minute to clean off the bird poop before you worry about how shiny the chrome is! That's great that we have international prospects who demand high contracts, and full control over how many Mexican players there are, an International Complex! The same bird poop is still there, and THAT'S where my attention is drawn when I look at the car. Take five minutes to clean it off before you worry about the chrome.

Ok, I think I've made my point, so I won't make any more negative comments. If someone would like to make some suggestions how I can improve the game experience on my own on either v12 or v13 (like reducing the draft rounds mentioned above) I'd be happy to listen!
