Re: Road to the Show 2010 discussions, impressions, and questions

So for all you guys who have already started your RTTS are you not concerned with the player potential issue? I'm waiting til Monday to start mine so it is fixed but really want to start RTTS now because its my favorite and most played part of the game.

And anyone notice the August glitch? Similar to the September glitch in 09? I've heard a couple guys have come across this and hope its just an isolated incident.

Is buying RTTS Points in the Show Store cheating?

Just curious what other people think.

I'm a bit torn. If there were a feature so that I could continue my RTTS career from last years title I would outright say.. yes.

If I'm starting a character in a position I've never played before, I'd probably say... yes.

If I'm just re-creating a new version of the same guy I was playing last year, in the same position as last year... maybe not.

Additionally... I'm a bit confused on the cost. You can buy $5 worth of points from PSN. Then you pay an additional $1 + tax to use those points you just bought? ... confusing.

Ah, so that's what the Show Shop is for...kinda figured it was something like that. Honestly, yeah, I'd kinda see it as cheating. But you know what? RTTS is a single-player offline mode - it's your own individual career so you should play it however you want to. Maybe consider it a "breakthrough" or something if you have to justify it to yourself...I dunno.

I know I won't be buying training points - it's not necessary in order to have a positive experience with the mode. Kinda like the chalk in Hustle Kings.

I don't think of it as cheating, it's your experience, so you should do as you please.

I personally don't like to buy things like this, but once again, to each his own.

I agree it's not cheating, but personally I will never support the microtransactions like this. For the sake of the rest of us I hope you don't either, but it's really up to you.
