I know there are different approaches to building a team. Nearly all of them seem compatible; that is, the competitive balance is not distorted, one way or another, no matter how you choose to play the game. With one exception: maxing out a roster in no time at all by expending a lot of cash. And I mean a lot — not $20 or $30.

I’m especially not convinced that the F2P approach is compatible with the mega-P2P approach. (Please note: I’m referring to the extreme cases of cash input, not the judicious, and relatively modest, use of cash.) I don’t mind a challenge. But when I have one or more of the mega-spenders in my league, the competitive balance is so out of whack that I really lose interest in the game. (And when the same thing happens 2 or 3 weeks in a row, I’m tempted to find something else to do.) Just my thoughts, for what they’re worth, at this (admittedly) early stage of PT development.
