Most sports gamers have very low expectations of what their game should be, often they barely buy any other video game, so it's just a random money sink for them.

They don't mind being fed the same crap with updated roster every year, and worse, lots of them probably don't mind them becoming slot machines. Either because it's their own unhealthy habit or because they are not using the 'feature' and not interested enough in the inner workings of games to see how harmful they are.
