wow. a buddy of mine just "virtual juiced" and dropped $30 to get 30k training points...

he's pretty much in the 90s across the board now, but....huh. I was just wondering what you guys think of the situation because (yes I know "to each their own") I can't wrap my little brain around the $30 I guess

I would honestly rather work for my points, plus is it worth it to drop $5(thats th minimun I think) on something that you could earn? I guess I just get some satifaction out of earning something on skill....go figure...

me too. maybe I am just a combination of cheap and a "purist" to some degree, but I like to earn the points to get my own RTTS player to progress. I stink now, but I know it eventually gets better

The max is no longer 9,999? This has to be the video game equivalent of steroids.

Ya I'm probably about the same lol, I could spend my money on something worth quite a bit more than imaginary points lol. I always do a pitcher and it seems to be easiest because I can dominate right out of the gate unlike a hitter.

What's the point in even doing RTTS if you're going to do that...??

I'll never get the "Instant gratification" crowd.

I dont get people like that, how is that even fun? whats the point of playing RTTS is your gonna do that? The whole satisfaction is improving your player and mimicking a career through the minors to the bigs. Basically ruins the entire experience IMO, defeats the entire purpose of the game. I just dont get gamers like that.

I use it when my advancement goals are something ridiculous like "increase your contact versus righties by 5 over the next week" and I am getting played once every five days. I buy a lot of DLC for other games, so I almost always have an extra buck lying around that I'll then spend to meet that impossible-to-meet-otherwise goal.

The issue with some of your goals being impossible to achieve, and thus resulting in my player getting benched or demoted because after failing to meet goals once you are almost inevitably put on the bench, hasn't been corrected this year so this is a nice way around it.

I think it also might be neat to create a player who is a Strasburg-like, can't miss prospect and use him one of these days. I would actually like to see that implemented in future games where on random occassions, the RttS guy who create is loaded with talent.
