Are the extra help packages worth it????

Is it really worth the money? Buying the extra help packages to help you out in the dynasty.

No. Don't waste the money.

The only one I bought was the Advisor. It gives you a little boost in recruiting. The rest I don't waste time on.

The advisor is nice. Recruiting is hard enough as it is. The others all seem like complete cheating. They work exactly like they say, but they're kinda overly cheap.

That's how I see it too SWertsch. It's like God Mode for football....Why?

Don't listen to the cheap-skates! They are worth the money if you consistently play OD. The boosts that they give are subtle, yet helpful. The progression boost helps by a couple of points, which takes the default progression from bad to acceptable. If you recruit a stud, he generally ends up being in the low to mid nineties by the time he is a senior. This is accurate to me.
I never understood why you had to "unlock" the ability to make promises. If you coach Western Kentucky, you can STILL promise a national title or anything else. Doesnt mean you will fulfill it, obviously, but you can promise it if you want. I like this timesaver very much.
For those of you who refute everything I have said, remember, ITS JUST A VIDEO GAME! If you dont like the time savers, dont buy them, allow them in your dynasty, or play in a dynasty that DOES allow them. They really arent that big of a deal, but do offer a little extra to the dynasty experience. I don't think having your homefield advantage boosted through the roof or seeing how much time teams are spending with programs should have been included, though.
So, if you have more than ample income to comfortably afford the ten dollar package, I would definitely do so.

HAH. Use them in Online Dynasty? Come on. Every online dynasty should have those things turned off. Complete cheese to use. That's just ridiculous.

And I'm pretty sure I'm not a cheap-skate when I've put about 25 bucks into NHL 11.

seems like cheating unless everyone in the league is well aware of it
