Bought a pack with my extra 1000 PP, got a Gold reliever. Sold that guy, sold the other gold reliever I got from the starter packs, sold other guys I didn't like, bought three packs and pulled a Mookie Betts. That certainly helps the interest level.
At this point I'm putting all earned PP into the auction house; the packs just don't make any sense to me at this point unless (1) you enjoy the experience, or (2) you're hunting for one of the "good" historical 100s or high-90s cards. Since I won't be doing either of those with this team for years, it's auctions all the way. I got really excited when I won a nice Bronze.
Hopefully some of the other whales gives this a try. So much fun!
Edit: Because I didn't make this second team until the night before the start of the season, I ended up in a 22-team league!!! AC has three four-team divisions, my NC has two five-team divisions. Pretty wild.

I have my main team, then signed up for a second team my friend could run when he stops over every couple of weeks for a few beers and play OOTP and FM19. He hasn't been by since the beta ended so that one hasn't restarted yet.
Anyway, the game's been really fun so I used my last account to try the same thing, basically spend no money and just build a team. I got a bunch of bronze guys, pulled Halladay as my initial gold card.
Just now I got two packs from points earned in game rather than hunt for more bronze guys (Thanks Turley for the no hitter) and pulled a perfect for the first time ever. Chris Sale.....given the crappy sell market I guess he'll be my ace....I'm not completely doing only historical players this time since I'm doing it as free to play.
