It's simple, one of these modes will make them additional money, the other will not. What I WOULD like to hear from Markus, and especially considering that the OOTP community is so loyal and tight knit etc. is WHY this move to micro transactions is being made. Will money be put back into the overall game? NO ONE begrudges OOTP, or Markus etc. of making more money. But a little more transparency into the situation would be helpful.

Being frank, I do not believe that Perfect Team will last or be anything other than a one or maybe two version fad. People will IMO lose interest and especially when it truly becomes pay to win, etc.

And as far as the other comments about PT and these incessant patches effecting online leagues, I'd almost respect Markus and OOTP more if they'd simply say, "Yes, we know that these patches and constant updating etc toward PT is harming online play but we need to make a profit etc. and you all need to just deal". Instead, we receive these sort of mixed messages when it is known that a large majority of the online league users utilize Steam, and are of an age where they are not very computer literate.

This needs some serious soul searching in this offseason as the company moves toward the next version. How about a stand alone app or version for Perfect Team? I personally have less than zero interest in ever even looking at Perfect Team. I have a feeling that there are MANY more people interested in online leagues and solo play than there are PT and also MUCH fewer people that would have ONLY interest in Perfect Team and NO interest in solo or online.

Just my thoughts.
