Thursday Shame: Same rubbish, different day and the Konami’s Pay-to-Forget never ending circle

Same old, same old every bloody Thursday. Two tournaments—one of 'em is a snooze-fest against the CPU. Same recycled POTW cards every week, doesn’t matter who's actually ballin’ in real life, you’ll still see the same faces pop up.

And don’t get me started on Divisions. Absolute grind fest just to hit Division 1 and what do you get? Rewards that are pure garbage. No sense of achievement, no proper compensation—just a waste of time.

If you’ve been grinding all year, stacking coins to bag yourself an Epic or Showtime player, you might feel special… for a bit. But fast forward a few months, and boom—new, juiced-up version of the same player drops, making yours obsolete. That should be straight-up illegal. It’s a scummy, predatory tactic to milk more cash from players.

If I’ve got a Thuram that cost me hard-earned coins or real money, there should be a way to upgrade him to the latest version—out of sheer respect for what I’ve already spent. But nah, Konami would rather devalue old cards at warp speed just to squeeze more money out of us. The whole system is a disgrace—pure, shameless cash grab.
