Am I the only one that thinks the price is a bit steep for an online simulation? I would be playing a lot more if the price was more reasonable.
If I am, then Im sorry I posted.

I certainly would love to see the price come down, but I don't think the price is unreasonable.
The price is less since SOM took over running the game from The Sporting News (who used to run it). Also, anyone who spends as much time with their teams as I do is getting a tremendous bargain if you look at the cost per hour.

If you look at it as cost per hour I get it. But with the revenue, based on my observations of the amount of people that play.....there is no excuse for the lag time in improvements.
I just think they need to improve the prizes for winning. I think if your team makes the playoffs you should get a credit. Then an extra credit for each round you advance.
Paying $20/team just to play for a credit isnt enough for me. Hence why I usually buy a 5 pack for the players championship. At least there is potential to win a prize thats worthwhile.

How about this for a deal, you pay $15 and they don't even provide you with a team? That's what happened to us with Fantasim.

The value of the game is determined on how much time you are going to spend involved. If a person just drafts the team, sets the lineups, and then just checks the scores once a week or so without reading or sending messages the price may seem a bit high. Others that do the opposite and spend time on their teams daily it turns out to be a decent value if you spread the cost out over the six plus weeks the teams run. Also I always buy my credits with the 5 pack option. It lowers the price per team.

So if you pay and you never get a game or even a team drafted, you'd call that a bad value?
