SC Gold 2015 - Highway Robbery!

DCAK · January 25, 2015, 05:08:39 PM

So today I lost access to the SC 2015 team picker as well

So, here is the one and only option available to me to have SC Gold for season 2015:

So....

$3 for rounds 1-12, and $6 per week for the remainder (rounds 13-22) = $63

Are you flowering kidding Herald Sun!! From $20 to $63 in one year! You greedy, greedy barbies!

they will prob say cause of the new live scores but i can get them for free elsewhere anyway

That looks like the price for the entire HS digital subscription

Surely the $20 SC Gold option is still going to be available?

I'm waiting to see this too RD. I've emailed them because I lost access to my team and I think that's pretty shower, why not just give everyone access until a certain date when you have to renew? Basically I'm getting flowered because I bought it early last year, as I'm assuming it's just a one year cut off (as some people still have access). Stupid. Anyway I asked if there was going to be a flat rate option just for SC gold without all the extras, I'll update when I get a response...

Would it really surprise you though? HS are just getting worse and worse...

I got an email from them in December saying that my subscription would expire Jan 15.

It' still working ;D

So here is the email I sent to HS:

"I purchased supercoach gold last year, but as of Monday this week (19-01-2015) I have been unable to access the 2015 team picker function, while others I know who also purchased gold last year are still able to.
I'm not sure if maybe the subscription is only for a year and mine may have expired, but I also can't see a way to renew it other than a monthly digital subscription...
Has the pricing structure completely changed? or is gold still available for a fixed price without all the extras? And has my subscription expired? I had assumed there would just be a fixed cut off date for everyone... "

The response I have received:

"Yes, your subscription has expired. The re-launch of all pricing and game-functions is set for 30 January 2015."

That's it, no response to me asking if the pricing structure has changed or if it will be available for a fixed price. We find out in a few days I guess...

Am I the only person who thinks it's a bit ridiculous that they've cut me off for 2 weeks between my 1 year subscription being up and the new release date? So basically this time around I'd be better off waiting a couple of weeks before buying it again (if indeed I do)?

Surely it's a better strategy for them to just say "no matter when you purchase it, SC gold is active until 31 January the following year, at which point SC gold will become available for the next season". No?

Being ever the optimist im hoping by them giving you nothing in reply that there is a chance still of a one of fee. :-\

T Dog · January 27, 2015, 02:36:47 PM

Maybe it means a flat $3 for 12 weeks, then $6 / week?

Haha don't bring me down man. :P
It's the part "All pricing" in their reply that has me holding out hope.

I replied to the email I got, and I could be overly pessimistic but I don't like our chances...

"The SuperCoach Gold subscriptions were offered by the SuperCoach team directly and will be available again shortly but pricing and details are not yet finalised."

So in the very least they're rethinking the pricing system, even if it is still available for a fixed rate...

Grazz · January 27, 2015, 03:12:02 PM

Yep where there's life there's still hope. :)

Think they would be digging there own graves not to have the $20 SC gold as per last year but then again greed has no conscious
