League 2

I don't really see how the current formula for MyClub entices people to spend real money on it to be honest... Compared to FUT anyway.
Now I already have 96 Neymar and 97 Messi, there's pretty much zero room for improvement in those positions for me in the entire duration of PES 2019. Any money that would have been spent (not that I do spend anything on these modes) on these positions now won't be, because I already have the optimal players there; the Messi I got has 99 ball control, 99 dribbling, 99 finishing etc... There's nowhere to go from there and it's only week 2.
FIFA does have those similarly ridiculous cards in FUT, like team of the year, team of the season or 2nd/3rd inform versions of a player that are extremely rare and only a fraction of a percent of the playerbase will own, and they'll be ridiculously expensive to buy with coins.
The way they gradually release these increasingly OP cards through the life-cycle of the game means that even the whales and people with gambling addictions will have something new and better to waste their money on, right up until FIFA 2020...
For me the best solution would be to have PES 2011 style MLO, let people buy the currency with real money, but include matchmaking filters so that you could block out everyone who has spent even a single penny in microtransactions. The show-offs who want their Messis and Ronaldos can do so if they cough up the money, but they'll only come up against other wallet warriors while everyone else can play an actually balanced and fair game mode.
Yeah I don't get it unless you are a youtuber and it's other peoples donations.
