Im sure people did early on in the initial weeks. And im sure people still do. You need to remember that you dont need to "spend money" to get rich in game. You could just happen to pack and expensive card and sell it. People are often on here saying "I packed so and so should i sell it for 300k and buy a good team?"

My pack only team, which is not particularly good team relatively speaking, easily cruised to diamond and stayed there for 3 seasons even making the playoffs a few times. Im sure some people cruised up to perfect with no money spent in the initial rush, but whether they have stayed there this long - who knows.

Any way you look at it, its a two way problem after that initial wave of fast promotions in the first few weeks to fill the leagues: First you need to get a good enough team to perform well in the league and make the playoffs. Then you need to actually get to the last 4 to get promoted in some instances. So even if you do everything right, you could still fail to secure promotion. For example, I havent spent any money and won 125 games once - clearly dominating the league season, but was swept in division round and didnt get promoted. Im sure others have had the other end, slipping into WC, winning to conference championship or WS and getting promoted even if they were the 10-12th best record in league.
