You know what you should do ? Keep whining about it . That ' s going to work out for you eventually . <| sep |> Please let him win . <| sep |> TLDR . you do you , I will do me , I enjoy the grind . I have zero problem with the amount of time necessary to level a new player up . I think it ' s much better than just allowing you to get the guy leveled up in a few hours or days . I ' ve been playing video games for a long time and have always gotten more out of having to grind out time and effort into building a badass player rather than just picking up a new account that already has players that are leveled up . Be it Dragon Warrior on the original NES , the three Diablo games on PC , Final Fantasy 7 on PS 1 , Final Fantasy 10 on PS 2 , World of Warcraft on PC , or countless others , I ' ve always enjoyed the grind to level guys up in RPG type games . Regardless of the fact that it ' s a sports game , MyCareer players are definitely an RPG type aspect of the game . You pick a character type , distribute attribute points , get experience as you ' re playing , unlock different new abilities or gear as you level them up , and with time and effort get to the point where they are more effective at accomplishing the main goal of the game . Like I said , I enjoy the leveling aspect of this abd many other games in the past 2530 years of gaming . I like the fact that for me to make a new character effective I have to put in the time and effort to learn how to do tasks associated with his archetype . I like that I can get a rough idea of skill level that my opponents and teammates have regarding the same basic skills simply by looking at their badges on their player card . Lastly I have very little free time with a hectic work schedule , but I choose to use some of that free time to play 2 k . I ' ve had two trips since the game came out that caused me to be away from my Xbox for a weekend . One of those weekends started the day that 2 k came out . It sucked knowing that friends and competitors were getting a 7290 hour head start on me , but I knew my own addictive personality would allow me to catch up . When I ' m gaming I ' m not out doing stupid shit , I ' m not drinking as much , not eating as much , and not spending near as much money on entertainment . Last of all regardless of the several minutes of time I sir the writing this post , I honestly couldn ' t care less if you approve of the way I spend my free time . Worry about the way you spend your own free time and let other people worry about how they spend their own .
