last cycle i made a ridiculous amount on NBA Top Shot everyone thought it was the future buy highlights → they moon → repeat everyone thought it would be the next big thing but it died not because people stopped liking basketball but because there was nothing to do. no gameplay no strategy no reason to come back unless prices went up once the hype drained, so did everything else sorare had a similar issue cool tech, real licenses... but the experience felt like a spreadsheet and you could easily be priced out of the best players these games fail because they confuse collecting with playing (!!) they build stores, not games over the weekend i tried FDF ( @footballdotfun ) not the full thing - just a test of their trading layer called the Microdex Buy players. Watch prices move. Simple, clean mechanics. it’s early, but it already fixes a lot of what made the others frustrating. no clunky order books. no fake scarcity. no way to be priced out (cause it's tokens, not NFTs) you can tell the people building it actually play this stuff the full game isn’t out yet, but if the trading layer is any clue, it might be the first sports app in crypto that doesn’t just look good during a bull market the pack sale is coming soon and i’ll be there (see you on Wale's stream hehe) i’m invested + partnered but i’d probably be playing either way it just feels like someone finally got it right
