I know sports games have been p2w for awhile, but they've at least had the grace to separate actual gameplay from ultimate team money farming lol Welcome to the future, gamers

Aren't AAA sports games always horrendously monetized? FIFA etc?

The gameplay looks actually fun if it wasn't for the mobile game levels of dreadful wallet draining. Making stats purchasable should actually be illegal, that has to be against consumer rights in some way.

Wow that matchmaking is damn near unplayable, NL was being an insanely good sport but this is just awful. Worst part is it looks like a decent enough game but the P2W aspects just completely ruin the experience. This is why Im an offline gamer through and through, kids are too damn good (and apparently rich??) these days for me to keep up in my little 2 hour gaming sessions after work.
