I have been playing the new career mode for a few days now and I have made a lot of cash over this time but I've only made a little amount of TP which is the only currency that you can actually purchase items in-game with. I think adding a purpose for cash in this game would make winning tournaments and events much more rewarding.
You make an excellent point what's the point of having career earnings if you can't use them for anything even if they could only be used for specialist tackle and equipment like baitboats and upgrades to clothing and boats instead of using to just an idea
Dtg want you to pay for add on packs, so they arent likely to make it easy to obtain the items within the game, its one of their many income streams
It would be cool to purchase named fish locations/hints with in game cash we earn. I wouldn't even mind having to restock lines/lures/hooks/bait.
Most of the TP I’ve earned didn’t come from career mode, but in the offline tournaments. Good money to be made there.
