EA Sports' NCAA Football is Returning (for real this time) **Full reveal May 17, July 19 release

The amount of people spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a video game is a very very very small audience. That's not the target. It's like fishing, your target is to fill your quota on snapper. If you happen to land a massive sailfish along the way, that's a trip of a lifetime.

 

Those have online modes.

 

I have no issue with online modes and I play a decent amount

I just hate the microtransactions based pay to win stuff sports games and call of duty employ

 

Too much biased feelings and not enough data ITT, imo.

long time ago and forbes sucks but tassi is an excellent games journalist

 

this is hanging on the wall in the sneaker room

 

i'm sure you're better versed on this than i am (and probably most people here), but this is the third paragraph from that piece

and later

the article is, as you said, old. and maybe the data is different now that the microtransaction model has metastasized and developed into a staple of AAA gaming. but tassi's point is that the spending of that 0.15% is driven by personality characteristics and/or life circumstances, not necessarily income.

 

yeah and i think there's definitely differences in mobile gacha waifu collectors and what is effectively digital sports card collectors. there's some big differences here. and that article was definitely written before crypto really exploded. so it's definitely not a 1:1 to ultimate team in 2024.

 

Ehh I wouldn't call it that. It's more just buying the best team to use on the game, or at least just a loaded team of players to like. Or guns in other games. It's not just collecting cards for the sake of collecting cards. It's buying a roster/item to use in game. The card is just the artwork used.

 

not interested in splitting hairs here but in the context of that thought comparing the two things is fairly on point. both things change gameplay. youre trying to put together a team of the nest characters. one is just hot anime women, the other is sports cards. it was just an over-simplification that didnt mean anything.

 

I guess my point is I don't think anyone cares about the card part of it. Most just want to add players to their team to use. It's about building a team, not "collecting cards." I personally couldn't care less about the card, I just wanted to use Derek Jeter on my team.

 

Yeah the only reason to “collect” cards in MLB The Show would be to get those cards you get when you have all the live series cards. Can’t remember if you can buy those on the market though without collecting.

I think some people do it because they’re completionists but usually I’m selling cards the second I find a card/player that works better for me. At least early on when I’m trying to save up my ‘stubs’.

 

Yea very few people, if any, are collecting cards just to collect cards. It doesn't matter if you have to complete a program to get a player or get all the live series players to get Jeter, it's all about getting players to make your team better, not just collecting cards. It's not "yay I collected all the live series!", it's "fuck yes I got Jeter!"

 

you're focusing way too much on the card collecting comment. i am aware it's not about the cards. jfc.

 

You guys can really DBL a thread up.

 

none of this page or last resembles english to me

 

only thing I learned is that dbl is actually an auburn fan

 

I'm just going off what you posted. It's not "card collectors", it's just people that want a good team and are willing to spend money on it.

 

has anyone already started a list of people who want to make a season/league?

 

the more you argue the more you prove you don't understand the basis of my initial statement. so keep going.

 

Maybe so, but I'm open to you explaining it so I can.

 

Dbl - South Alabama, Alabama

 

What's the maximum amount of players for a league?

Nug - Washington, Tulane, Washington State

 

i was contrasting the typical gacha aesthetic and the one found in sports games. in both types you are trying to assemble the best team with unique gameplay so thats not worth mentioning. therefore i oversimplified to to attractive anime characters vs sports cards knowing full well theres more to each thing than character model and cards.

 

can you also start a group text without dbl?

 

Fair enough. I guess I just object to the "card" part. Literally nobody cares about the card. It could be a name on a ping pong ball that allowed you to play with that play and it's the same thing. Or even just buy a player and boom they are on your roster. The card is only there to show what players you can use.

 

if it was a name on a ping pong ball i would have called it a ping pong ball. but it's not, it's a name on a card.

 

heels pls

 

Troy, SDSU, UF

 

this post is to serve as notice that I have dibs on ND and Miami U. (TMB’s fav MAC school) in perpetuity

 

you were asked to provide teams of varying prestige

 

watch your tone or I’m gonna do something heinous like send a bunch of undergrad Theology students to rush your personal space

 

Miami U is the biggest Miami in college football

I think he did just that

 

save bwi2’s ass for me!

 

"Unlocking players" is the preferred vernacular

 

This is one of the dumbest semantics arguments I have read on this board

 

in the standard gacha space we say "pulls". it took me 80 pulls to get the new character. pity is at 90 pulls. etc, etc.

 

Only pulls I’m interested in is off a bong iyam

 

I used to be angry when this thread was bumped.

Now I'm just tired.

 

i hit on several gems last night that will alter the trajectory of the program for sure. always have to go look at the 4* players still less than 25% committed in the back half of the season. i’m about to sign some 75+ overall players with no other scholarship offers

 

I’ll be on Xbox if that matters.

Nebraska (think DTO called them but not sure on system)
Iowa State
Bowling Green
UMass

 

Odin and console wars is what dbl is to micro transactions.

Both have been saying the same shit for years and years and yet people want to fight them about it as if they have any chance of moving them off the opinion they hold. Its like a decade people... they aint changing how they feel.

 

Jigga start a MC dynasty sign up

 

hey man, i just state my argument and move on. and frankly my stance has changed in recent years. i dont care what people do but if people ask questions and i have a firm stance im going to state it to try to help people make a decision.

 

Troydan is up to $7000 spent on packs to get a Kareem or Shaq. He hasn't gotten either of them.
