The aspect of collecting cards and using them elicits quite a bit of nostalgia at a lot of people, it is kinda weird. It's the Exact Same for both NHL and HUT. My old roommate and cousin buy it every year. They will whine a bit but they simply love this shit.
The release cards based on the nba 2k21 mt coins NHL season material. So like when a certain player does like a super play in a match, you can bet your ass that in the upcoming few days, there is gonna become a new special variant card with that player becoming powered up. I can not remember what participant but he had been a"level" 82 card, but my cousin was a huge fan of that participant.
He'd a hat-trick in a game and basically made the difference between winning and losing and they published a special version level 89 or 95 card. So people may despise the games but it's intertwined with all the game and if you're a game enthusiast, odd all those little things are only gonna be Additional Value to your overall experience of that sport season. God I could relate to this as far as Football Manager and Pro Cycling Manager goes, and used to be the same with NBA2K too, but I heard as far as NBA 2k 2 years back! Football Manager often innovates and reworks things like coaching, transfers, etc.. FM is also no longer a 60 dollar game.
You may often get it for 30 or so during steam sales. I am as big of a fan as FM as you clearly are, but if you believe that FM/Sega is reinventing the wheel every year you are only blatantly lying to yourself:P The matter that really DOES change every year however is a upgraded transfer/database, which is very often updated from the neighborhood anyway, so you're able to live without it. Today, perhaps every 3-4 year there is a brand new thing to the game that's worth mentioning, make it better control over approaches, or even better 3d matches etc.. And certain, then it might actually be super value picking up a fresh variant of it. I won't deny that. But it certainly is not something one ought to get every year.
