Dumb Question - how to afford playing thousands of games

It looks like some people have records that amount to hundreds of thousands of wins and losses. How is that possible at $15-$20 per game? That would be million of dollars in fees. What am I missing?

It's $15-20 per season, not per game.

The game is a bit expensive but you can win free credits for doing well. To keep the costs down spend some time researching how to win more frequently

Let’s say you play 50 seasons a year and you make the playoffs half the time those 25 playoff teams should yield about 15 free seasons. That means you only pay for 35 so about 500 per year or 40 bucks a month

my view on the cost is that it's pretty reasonable. For $20 you get 8 weeks worth of entertainment. that's $2.50 per week
