Seems this game has fully become pay to win in 2018.
Been playing this game since 2012.
Never paid for any tokens and done okay, 10 leagues 1 cup losing finalists plenty of times.
But the 2018 upgrades killed the gameplay, i could outsmart better teams by changing formations in the game but seems that doesnt count for anything anymore.
Massive timelag between changes made and actually actioned in the game.
I havent been promoted for 5 seasons now. All my players i train up and they are better than any players i can get from the market.
Saving up my tokens to get 39T player from scout suggestion. Not made much difference.
Season before last i had 5 zombie teams in my league from players who had just given up.
