Well, like the man said, it's a card game. But multiple seasons of the same player also doesn't make much sense. I mean, it makes sense, I guess. But it's just weird. I dunno...

Okay, I'm trying to be really respectful here, so please don't think of me as a fuss ass. It just seems like it would be better if historical players aged, just like in historical games on OOTP. If you happen to pick up an old historical player, then he's only gonna be good for a year or two etc. But, for example, I picked up a great historical "rookie sensation" and a couple of players in their prime (age 27 & 28). So... would be better to see them age according to their IRL stats, you know, with the usual OOTP algorithm variation etc. The pictured card would be just, you know, what he was when he was "drafted."

I dunno... it's kind of a mess.

So anyway.... Never Mind. LoL I'll just go quietly back to playing the game like a good boy. LoL
