Just riding out what I've invested at least a couple hundred bucks on both teams (and I've completely enjoyed my return in packs and AH players) but going after the handful of missing collection cards, strategically eyeing a card that might do well in tournaments... I'm just not because the end of the game is in sight. If you told me we get another year with these teams, I'm back in and spending and far more engaged.

Again, I'm not bitter about the delays or bemoaning my spend. I'm grateful for the collections and touney work by all the great folks at OOTP (I've been onboard here since OOTP6!). I'd just like more time to invest in PT and go deeper, get better, complete and compete more. Next year, with a clean slate, I'll probably invest much less honestly because I'll view it more as it has turned out to be - a fleeting joy with little odds of completing all that there is. And I'll go back to the core game and continue diving deep into my dynasties and let my handful of packs carry a single PT team to Silver, if lucky...

That wouldn't happen...that would be a major blow to their bottom line. There's a reason no card collecting sport game carry over from one year to another...because if you have to start over, you have to fork over the money all over again. Maybe you would go and spend more money, but the vast majority of people wouldn't, because they have already pretty much their team where they want it to be. The vast majority of those players will purchase OOTP21 and spend money again in that game.

There's a reason that's the model those games follow...because it's the most profitable one.
