What I'm taking issue with is the fact that the abundance of high-value cards eventually saturates the top 5 of 8 levels of the game. As you move toward the second half of the year, there's been enough Diamonds, Perfects, and "Special" cards to make anything under Diamond useless in the top 5 levels.


I'm not suggesting any details here, but I think the game would be better balanced if the game's best cards were more rare. That would move most of the Diamonds, Perfects, and "supermen" cards onto teams that populated the top 2-3 levels. Someone who was playing an All-Gold team, or a theme team, for example could actually compete maybe as high as Silver or Gold.


As we move into the last four months of the OOTP year, those kinds of teams will be pushed down into Bronze.
