I can see how more people play MS because of all the super casuals out there, but likely those people will pick up the game for a few weeks and get tired of it and definitely won't be spending as much money as those who are competitive and play because of leagues. I think master series was a good addition to the game but to says it's the backbone and what the game is gonna be built around is a scary thought. Over the past few years many top players and spenders have quit because EA fails to make league rewards worthwhile for many and has failed to address matchmaking issues especially at the start of seasons. Hopefully this changes...
When overdrive was considered the main focus it was disastrous. The problem with master series is that people who start playing later in the year or don’t play it early on can’t catch up without grinding a ton. I started over after going to a new device Christmas, didn’t play it and a couple months ago realize I’m on the last one and can’t get to the later ones until I play the earlier ones.
