well i went on this morning an got the 10k pre order gp and the 10k demo gp so done two agents and got two black balls ozil and tadic lol not to mention got eriksen other day in a 1 star agent haha so iv'e got no chance renewing contracts even if you do get 1 renewel ticket a season but not sure if that's just forpromotion as iv'e only ever got one for promotion. i haven't played in a few days started boring me tbh but im really enjoying ML atm.
I can understand your plight, the 'juggling' in MyClub is virtually impossible and I only have 4 top (black ball) players!!! 2 I don't even want, in fact I got Robben but turned him into a trainer because he simply didn't fit the formation of the team (and the fact I hate the little shit!), I also got 2 black ball keepers who I turned into trainers (I know silly mistakes can be made) the point being in the long run if you don't manage like a top-end economist you will run into severe financial trouble and even at that you'll probably still do it barring that you missed the GP promotions but lets face it most will blow that on trying to 'gamble' for the players they want.
At the moment I'm sitting on 10k GP but that just went down to 6k and no matter how careful I am now it I can get above that, the rewards winning a match don't outweigh the debt and I'm failing to notice any 'greater' reward for playing at increased difficulty each time I win or each time I qualify for the next difficulty bracket (lucky me), so I tend to try and drop down my team begin to get stomped and try and build up my GP but like I said I can get 1.8k GP for a 5-1 win and after the match 2 players are out of contract at 2k each (and that's just the player around the mid-70 mark) so like I said earlier the fun will start once Neymar goes.
On a little side my boredom comes from playing the same teams and players, playing Vs Com is supposed to be you playing teams created by players but played by the AI right? Well, I'm so fed up of playing Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, and Man Utd/Chelsea it's so tedious and always raining! But on top of that every team has the same lineup, Neymar, Ronaldo, Messi, Imbra, etc etc, in fact I once played a team who had them all, I couldn't believe it - no in fact I do since most teams will have a combination of three of these :S
Anyways yea I understand your point and the system is highly unfair (it soooo wants you to spend real money) but that's just what is appealing that I only have one go at this that there is no turning back no reset button and I hold out for those moments when everything clicks, yea ok they may be few and far between but when you get a good match it's great and you do feel like your work has paid off even if it is short-lived, whereas in ML etc the changes and everything don't have that permanence if shit goes tits up in ML you just load up the previous save so it doesn't feel anywhere near as final, and of course it doesn't have the random roulette wheel we all love
"Awww no not another keeper!!! ...my last 10k GP!!!"
I feel this stuff goes a long way to adding to the excitement - they should make ML like that.
There are other things I hate about MyClub and I think a hell of a lot could be tweaked but it has its moments and even though the scripting is rough and some of the goals scored against me I have absolutely no control over etc etc I must be a sadist because I keep coming back for more.
