Well, I'm level 348, but I must suck at this game... because this series has been maddening. 53333333333 and couldn't get past 7.2, finally skipped it, now I have an hour left and I can't get past 7.3.

The name of the game for FM is to make money. I get it. A few updates ago they changed strategy, we all know it, from "hey, if you try real hard you can probably do these limited series without buying gold," to "prepare to spend a bunch of money if you want to keep winning cars." I used to enter each limited series, and if I really got stuck, maybe I'd spend 5 or 10 bucks to buy some gold and do some upgrades. Nowadays there's no point. I stopped entering everything a few updates back, but this car I really wanted, so I said what the hell... and now I've used up most of the gold I had stashed away. I still enjoy the game, and I actually like it a lot when it's tough, but this ain't tough, it's dang near impossible, takes the fun out it.

I'd be really interested to know if they're making more or less money with their change in strategy. I know one thing for sure, it's changed the way I look at the game. I used to feel like I almost owed them the few bucks I'd give every now and then, it's such a good product... now, there's no way they're getting another dime of my money. They can make their money from me "watching" their ads, but I sure as hell won't ever buy gold from them again.
