The spread is too wide and needs to be constrained.

I started complaining in V25 that the accelerated release of the 100-102+ cards so early in the season/year, along with the supermen variant cards was changing the battlefield - and making it impossible for anyone other than those with lots of money (or those with the ability to spend 24/7 on their computers) to succeed past June.
On one hand I understand the need to make enough money to pay salaries, but it seems to me better for everyone if you have 50,000 customers of which ~12,000 can be successful rather than 11,000 customers of which only ~2500 can be highly successful.
For the rest of us I see a game that captures my attention between March and mid summer - then I switch to the classic game until the new version comes out... and if PT doesn't look much different than v26, I could just stay with v26 and return full time to the classic game.
