Unfortunately I only sumitted 20 wins this time. Life events happened
(my lawyer was actually murdered!) and I found the site being down for so many hours and the numerous Cup glitches and such actually deter me from playing much more than I wanted. Then Round 2 ended seemingly abruptly and for that matter, this is almost getting a little boring to be honest. It is more fun to root for a team than actually play this game anymore (especially without a NP reward). Sigh.
EDIT: However, if they got rid of Super-Goalie AHEM TNT, I might resume my usual enthusiasm for this game.
I have no incentive to improve myself, my score, my effort for my team even, if I am never allowed to push myself beyond 9 goals. I won't even risk it now, knowing the other team usually grabs that ball and pitches it in for a single goal, while I attempt in all futility in my last seconds to get beyond Mr. Uber Goalie.
EDIT 2: Apologies in advance for the mini-rant. I see this all as a very lame attempt by TNT to 1) Assure that users are encouraged to login every few days or less (else they would miss the beloved world-reknowned Cup among other new events "not worth missing" -- you have no idea how many trades I watch expire after 14 days, at least half or more do not login for that long sometimes); and 2) Assure that those that DO regularly login to participate in plots and other things that advance rapidly, will continue to do such with the promise of some future virtual reward, that may or may not be "satisfactory" to us in hindsight.
Sorry PPTers, I will rant/vent my love/hate TNT frustrations elsewhere.
