THE TPE Struggle is Real

[JCarson 723]

Being a first generation, player I am finally coming to realize that the TPE struggle is real. No, I am not discussing the ability to earn TPE from tasks (Media Spots, Articles and or trivia/reviews) and other activities such as award predictions, VHFL, Fantasy Zone and currently Christmas giveaways/donations. I don’t believe I have struggled in any way in the accumulation department. 

 

Wat I am talking about is the real struggle to apply TPE to increase the statistics of my player. When someone starts out the 1 for 1 TPE allotment that increases player statistics up to the application of 70 TPE is relatively easy and provides quick satisfaction. Even as you move to a 2 for 1 process from 70 to 75 you get a relatively steady growth pattern. At those numbers you can look at increasing your statistics on a weekly basis to continue to see progress. 

 

Then a change happens, first you get a reduction in the number of TPE you earn from Practice Facility, it is only 1/week so it really shouldn’t seem like much but for some reason it does. It starts to put a drag on your ability to build your player. Then the application of TPE to increases in statistics starts to grow, first 3 for 1 and then 5 for 1 (and I have been told it continues to get worse than that). This ever-increasing cost to improve the player makes it more difficult. It creates a struggle, a delayed gratification and a smaller level of differentiation between top players in the league.  

 

I know that players can’t keep growing at the pace they do at the beginning of their careers but I just needed to acknowledge that the struggle is real.

I almost clicked the welfare button today, but I can't bring myself to do it. If I'm still not motivated to do a PT by Saturday, I might have to, which will make me sad.
