The failure to hang on to an 11 game lead last week wears on my already faltering enthusiasm for the game.
Live mission reward cards are not enough, any more, to reach diamond. Dum Dum Bengals repeat gold after 79-83 last week. While Hamtramck gets relegated back to gold.

You think you have problems? Log on to your Bengals and take a gander at the other conference. There you will find the 5-13 Colonels floundering at the bottom of their division in GOLD, not diamond. The losses include two one-run defeats at the hands of your Bengals.
All kidding about overpowered Live cards aside, it is really frustrating to be unable to compete at gold level (or presumably below) without filling your squad with the same 26 players as every other team. Granted, I didn't spend 1.3 million points on my team... more like 150,000 points. So I get what I paid for but it would still be nice to field a competitive team without the cookie cutter lineup.
To add insult to injury, I was finally able to make a big upgrade only to find that it was a used card - so back on the market it goes. Why can't we have a switch to clear the card's history? Is there some reason why the developers think it is mandatory for the card to retain some other player's history when we can't even access the details of past seasons for our own team?
