This.
The cards are too static. They did say cards would change some according to real life counterparts, but that's not happening until the next season kicks in I wouldn't think, so OOTP20. What about now though ? The only thing that can differentiate one card from another is experience gained at a position.
Unless there are massive releases of new content for the mode, I think it will become evident after a while that money won't be spent much past the first few weeks. There's just so many ways you can tinker with your lineup when your lowest card is an 88.
There are no injuries, so no real need to move around with your lineup, unless you want to micromanage hot and cold streaks.
There is no development after seasons. OOTP has a great development engine, that would be pretty awesome to see your cards evolve using the engine (not age into retirement, because people do spend money to get cards), after a surprising good year maybe your player gets a boost somewhere for the next season, making him a little bit better than a fresh out of the pack card.
All there is left are tournaments. I'm really hoping those will be varied and have all kinds of gimmicks to them. That's the only thing I can see that will prevent the mode from going stale fast. Because let's face it...there's not much to do, other than scouring the AH or just mass buying packs...you can play around with your lineup but at the end of the day, most long term goals are going to be self generated. Yes, you want to win, but that's the very basic of any game...
And yes, there many, many cards. But by the end of beta, a lot of the lineups had all the same cards in them. Not necessarily perfects, but quite a few cards were in too many lineups. And that was only 3 weeks worth In 4 months...as static as the cards are, unless there's content drops...
