I was always NMS until last year when they made Mantle the reward. As a Yankees fan I had to have him ASAP & didn’t want to wait until August to finally get him the NMS path so I dropped $1300 day one to get him. Mantle was that player for me...Who is it for you?
ps...If your answer is nobody then just don’t comment, This is just for a little fun discussion.
the idea of dropping 1K to an SDS made video game is a joke to me and many others im sure - they aren't remotely worth that based on each years iteration
a good use of your 1.3K instead of stubs is to buy an stand up arcade machine with mortal kombat, donkey kong, every old game under the sun - and get the 4 player arcade

Nobody, the fun for me is grinding my [censored] off to get the cards I want, once I get them, I usually don't use them all that much.
I like grinding too. I usually never spend money just to buy the collections personally because the amount it costs is more then I’m willing to spend being that most of the Ls Diamonds are a lot of stubs at launch.
I DO however enjoy blasting packs and the thrill of the unknown. I pulled trout last two years day one so that was kind of cool.
Actually in 19 I pulled trout day 1 first pack. Crazy
I played so much 20, I actually got Trout at both high diamond XP rewards by July, benefits of working from home for a year. Playing enough will get you to the collection reward, just not right away.
I also pulled a Trout late in the year, first time ever, but I never buy packs.

This is why i love this game and studio!! Diversity in how you apprach, how you play, and how you earn it's freaking awesome how much SDS looks out for us! Yet it slips by so many who don't realize how much they go out of thier way for everyone!!
-
I won’t judge how another man spends his money. I put $400 in last year, $1000 over the last 4. Not anymore though, just out of principle. And I would try to convince you not to, for sure. Over $1000 for some virtual cards to compete a month or two earlier than the grinders, seems like extortion(obviously not a violent version).
I know money isn’t an object for some folks, but that is exactly what SDS is taking advantage of with a price tag like $1000. Sure it’s great entertainment but think of the majority of folks that maybe could only afford $200 a year, if they stretched it. They get a LS Mike Trout. That’s it. And probably not even day 1. For $200. Seems silly and unbalanced. Maybe I’m jaded too? Lol.

It will be Henry Aaron.

I'd pay $1500 for access to every card as it drops for use in DD. It would be an interesting price model for any sports game to entertain it's customers.
This game is entertainment. I treat it as such. It's not a job. It's an escape.

I might throw some money in the game at launch to be honest even though it’s not necessary...just cus I can. But I’m talking like $200 not $1200
I'm throwing an additional $20 at it prob. Digital deluxe plus another $20, should pack 5 or 6 Trouts
-
I’d do it if I were the cover athlete... for narcissistic reasons.
Don’t think I’d contribute to any sales lol

After I finish the LS Launch weekend, I'll come post the final cost.
I'm not a content creator. Could care less about them. I'm just a man that has the $ to afford this hobby.
I've always been curious what the cost was for first day collections.

I’ve been slowly adding money to my Xbox account I’m up to 550$ on Xbox just for this game

I'd put it between 450-600 total. 800 if you don't pull Trout or any gate keepers.
I usually pull 150-200 packs, bang out whatever collections I can for XP and stubs back, reload and turn to the market.

The game would become pay to win then

No chance in hell at 450 day 1.

It all depends if you are competitive, I do think that if you complete the LS series in the first days, it dramatically improves your ability to be always on top of your opponents, it provides you a head start in XP’s and better teams, it also improves your ability to get faster to WS, and sell the prize even higher.

You would think with all the money they making that there would be collision detection in this game.

Pulled Trout at minute 52 after launch for 19.
Absolutely can be done. I was streaming too.
Matter of fact, I preloaded $240 to my PS account as that was the max. And swiped twice at $100 to finish. Pre-order for MLB and GameStop had me with 80 packs before I spent a stub.
Here's the Trout picture from that night. I had Mays Saturday morning.

That's really extreme. I applaud your luck but pretty naive to ever expect that to happen again on release day.

Do you think it’s cheaper to buy packs or to just put in orders for all the cards?

The only sure way will be to buy the players. Packs may help to fill some bronze. silver or even gold cards, but you can’t rely on packing diamonds (especially high level diamonds). This was my 7th year playing, and while I don’t buy many packs because the odds are against you, I grind a lot and rip hundreds each year. Never packed Mike Trout, not even once.
