    Micro transactions and extra spending in general need to go. It takes their focus away from making a good video game.

    Warzone/MW is easily the strongest platform in the last 10yrs.

    None of it is "have to keep spending money", it's a model where it's free to play an online mode (let's say like just a basic online match) but multi, GM, Be a Pro is part of the paid game (regular game price, $80 to get this one time fee). However, some how monetize the "free to play" where there is an option to buy something that's mostly cosmetic.

    In COD they do bundles where you get gun blueprints, player skins, vehicle skins for a price. You don't ever need to spend money in COD Warzone, but if you want to you can buy the game to get the campaign, and multiplayer. You can level up guns quicker in the paid version of the game, but you don't need to buy the game at all to have access to Warzone.

    I have no idea how to perform this with a sports game because you would need to completely revamp the way it's built, but there's a reason why COD games completely outduel sporting games.

    In-game purchasing is the way video games make their money now. Put in a free to play option where you can earn player cards to upgrade your team, or you can buy a set of cards for $XX. Or you can earn the cards quicker if you buy the whole game outright.

    People who are intrigued by the game download the free version, people who are dedicated will buy the full version. If you pull 10% of the intrigued people into the bought version you increase sales if all is done right. NHL sporting games are not pulling in new customers anymore, they need a way to do it.

    Or maybe they're avoiding that because the amount of loyal customers they'd lose because they'd download the free version before buying the full game and get disgusted by the product and never buy it.

    So I am about to start a franchise and I am trying to figure out which team I should use. I think I have it narrowed down to Anaheim, Nashville and New Jersey for various reasons. Which team should I use and why?

    I have my rosters ready enough to start my NHL 21 franchise with the Anaheim Ducks. I chose Anaheim for a number of reasons including a nice selection of jerseys, a nice combination of aging stars (Getzlaf, Backes, Kesler!), potential stars (Steel, Terry, Zegras, Drysdale, Dostal), a star goalie (Gibson), players that I like a lot (Lindholm, Djoos) and a fellow Dino Alumni (Kodie Curran). They are also a team that is not expected to do well so it will feel good when I win a few Cups with them.

    My question though is how can I get the TB Lightning under the salary cap to start my franchise? If they are not under the cap, the salaries for all their players get reduced by the necessary percentage to get them under the cap. Either that or the game signs their 3 RFAs to 1 year, $1M contracts. I don't like either of those options.

    My idea is to send Tyler Johnson and Yanni Gourde to teams that can afford them. Which teams should I send them to?

    Random players get added to the COVID list where you can't use them, with a slim possibility of an outbreak if you enabled bubble mode.

    Even better a Be A Pro mode where part of the game turns into a RPG where you have to manage your life in the bubble.
