Again, SDS treats offline DD players like 2nd class citizens. The reason is because they believe that offline players do not buy as many stubs as online players. And that may even be true. But the REASON it is true is that SDS does not give offline players much to do with the cards. We beg and plead for ways to use our DD cards offline, which would also give offline players incentive to buy stubs. Crickets.

Making Prestige online-only really irks me as well. Chipper's reveal in 19 made me stop playing the game. I understand making it quicker for an online player to gain things that offline players can gain, but putting them out of reach for those offline players pushes them away. To those saying "it's free content, so I can't really complain", I'm glad someone bought the game for you, but I had to pay for mine, which means I'm paying for DD with my $60+ along with all the other content like Franchise and RTTS. Nothing is "free".
It seems like they're trying to push offline players to play online and this is the way they're trying to do it. However, what they don't realize is many offline players don't play online because they aren't as skilled and don't want to lose over and over trying to achieve a goal they'll never accomplish. I'm probably fairly average at the game and Chipper was an impossibility for me. Putting more content out of their reach puts them at an even larger disadvantage when they do try online modes. You aren't pushing those players into playing them more, you're pushing them away from your game.

Yep, chipper really irked me. They already made Kimbrel a unattainable reward, and then pooped on us with chipper. I’ll quit this year too if smoltz Maddux and glavine SS style card is the same.
As for he OP, I only really hate the locked players are non sellable or exchangeable.... I mean what am I gonna do a common card? Look at it?
Also the red diamonds don’t make a difference bc that grind will be pointless once they release a SS card for the same players. So who cares

The way the card structure is set up I think very few players will get signature series cards, are there any in the XP path?
Also Kimbrel was never unattainable, not the case anymore mind you but at his lowest point I’m pretty sure he was just over 100k

The Ryne Sandberg at silver 1 (etc) is a sig (basically the same stats as last year too). I think signs will be just as available as the other 99s, just that there will be far less of them since it appears they chose to make the 99s have a ton of different art this year.

I'm a mostly-offliner and I was able to acquire every purchasable card in the game, including Chipper, Babe, Kimbrell, Gagne: the whole lot of them.
You CAN do it. The question is: how bad do you want to?

If offline players want the extra +3 that badly, just play online? DD is geared to play online, you can use any legend you ever dreamed of outside of DD. I don’t see the issue here

How many hours a week did you play and how many dollars did you put into the game? Because again, the average player cannot get those cards you listed.

No, the question is, "What do you do with all of those great cards?" The only mode any fun to use them is conquest, and for that you definitely do not need those cards. It is a waste of time and/or money for offline players to bother with collecting DD cards. SDS needs to give offline players something more to do with their DD team.

Ok. So then offline players should not play DD. Is that your suggestion?

That is my suggestion too. Stop playing DD if you are an offline player until SDS gives offline players more to do with their cards.

The premise is offline players. Sure, you can change the premise to "just play online", but then you are not an offline only player and there is no discussion.

For you it would be a waste of time, but you can't make that call for others. I love collecting every card in the game, and rarely play online. Conquest is okay, but I much prefer vs cpu on legend. I enjoy seeing which cards will make my team, and give them each a couple of hundred at bats to see what they got. I'd like to play online, but until my hitting (pci squared up on the ball majority of the time, and consistently able to go up top for a fastball) reaches where I want it to be, I won't. Considering I'm 55 and my eyes aren't the best, I may never be happy with my hitting.

If you can win offline on Legend, you should have no problem competing online. I do understand the fun of collecting cards even if you do not play online, but SDS has ignored offline play with DD cards, and I would like to put pressure on them to make DD more fun for offline players. I do play online, but at times the BS from trolls and early quitters, etc gets to be a bit much and I will go for long stretches playing offline only. That gets boring for me because there just isn't much to do with my team.

not to stack on Skepple here but he is right - DD is an online mode - if you don't like there is plenty offline stuff to do
