I just can't seem to understand how so many teams have 100 rated players during the BETA - I mean there is a team with all 100s and has another15 on the bench? This is not possible without purchasing points?? I get the full loyalty packs and and the 50K and out of 3 teams in PT Ive pulled ONE 100 rated player. Is it auctionhouse hustling - but still I just don;t see this as possible - Don't get me wrong - I'm not losing sleep but just extremely curious as to how this is going down for the BETA???????

The missions are set to be excessively generous, so it's not hard to chain them together. We wanted to encourage lots of action to be able to test the functionality.

Yeah, you can't even purchase points during the beta with money either.

I've opened over 3K packs between missions, winning a few tournaments, and purchasing them with stars. Sell the dups then buy more perfects in the card shop. It was actually really easy

agreed! With no one really playing, and the devs being really generous, all the live cards are selling for prices they normally wouldnt. Allowing people to buy cards in the market place they normally wouldnt be able to so early

It was oh-so-easy to upgrade everybody after completing the mission sets. Enough Clubhouse points left over to buy 50 Perfect packs, and this after opening hundreds and hundreds of Standard packs along the way. I've got all the pack Perfects plus Ojeda, Drysdale, Hack Wilson, and Garciaparra from the Clubhouse shop. Also pulled a Variant Sparky Lyle and boosted him to Level 5, and I still have half a million points in the bank.

I'm seeing 12 of the 60 teams in my Entry Pool with everything complete. If the real game was this easy, we'd be clamoring for 105 cards by mid-April.

It is funny. I have gotten so used to the 105 cards that the new perfects look like bronzes.

Hahahaha! Agreed, and when I did pull a perfect, I was disappointed that it wasn't a 105.
