Too many people trying to profit from the collection.SDS is reacting to that. But it sure does take away from the grind. I always like having something to grind for. It makes the game rewarding.
Couldn’t agree more. Don’t get me wrong. The people who’ve prepared all year should get it reasonably fast. But for those who chose not to then it should take them a lot longer. Flash sales will help those who haven’t prepared
Also, yes people will be buying packs up during the flash sale, it's not like everyone who buys a pack (depending on what the packs are) is going to pull constant diamonds. Most people are going to invest a lot of stubs in packs for nothing. Certain ones like the HRD packs and AS packs will drive the price down on those lower tier cards and the higher ones to an extent as well. What I'm curious about is how the market will react with let's say HRD cards being a collection today AND a flash sale pack. They kind of would balance each other out. People will be trying to buy up the cards instantly for the collection and on the other hand there will be an increase in the amount of cards being available. It's interesting.
HRD itself wouldn't be a collection today, just Ohtani
If that is the case, most people will still need AS and HRD cards to complete collection for Ohtani and in return collection for today. So, the demand for these cards will still be high. But I agree the prices will probably go down because supply will be higher.

If I had to guess this will be a guaranteed headliner, kitchen sink asg and HRD with the always present LS diamond pack at the end

Good luck to everybody willingly getting scammed on new packs only available for an hour.

Right 30k per pack for a 90% chance of losing money. No thanks

Man I hope the allstar and HR derby packs are in this sale
No! I just invested about 300K into them hoping to flip them when the Collection Reward is announced.

Yeah, they already stated to tank. Debating if I want to just dump them to minimize my losses or wait to see if they jump back up.

I am just Trout away from Ortiz and Chipper and I don't have the stubs to buy him, so against my better judgment and all my instincts I might buy a pack or two just to see if I get lucky... I'll hate myself as soon as I don't pull him though.

This is also my assumption. Ohtani will be treated like Jackie.
The prices for top tier HRD/ASG cards will be minimally affected...might drop slightly. The lower tier cards will like plummet a bit more to original prices I think because they will be more likely to be pulled.
Its likely those that don't have Ohtani probably need more than 1 good pull to get him.
I need one good pull to get him.

guess it just depends on how they structure the collection. If it's like the Mo collection then you were allowed to miss one and still get the collections done.

The flash sale shouldn't affect a lot of the cards. Most of the collections aren't from packs but from rewards. Only cards LS and cards from packs like AS and HRD will go lower.
It’s probably going to be AS, HRD, Kitchen Sink & Space packs…. It’s going to be too easy to attain the collection reward. That’s an L in my opinion.
Casual players paid for the game as well. Everybody deserves a chance at using top tier cards.
There’s a difference between earning and getting things handed to you. If you didn’t prepare you shouldn’t be able to get the collection done fast. These flash sales will enable people (probably like you) who didn’t prepare at all, to get the cards at a discount. In my opinion bigger collections shouldn’t be easy to obtain. Just like they gave you a gift this year being able to get World Series rewards when without it you couldn’t sniff World Series

The game has gone downhill for years, starting with potms. Next year they'll probably give everyone who pre-orders a LS Trout. I first started playing in 16, and once I discovered dd, was immediately pulled in. Now they just give everything away, and give every scrub a 99.

Cool story bro. Does telling people that you're WS rank in the Show help you out in life? I bet it's a real thrill for the ladies.

Don't do that. Just play the usa conquest and sell all thr prospects for 5k+ each.
Never buy packs.

I know, I know I was just being a smart [censored]. I agree with you. I will say though technically nothing is really "given away". No matter what card you get you worked for. Some more than others. You have to please people that don't play a lot, that play all day, that spend money on the game, that don't spend money on the game etc. I mean, it is what it is.

Unfortunately, that's what it has become, and I don't see it going back. Been playing since 16, and it was so good.

While you come off as a bit of a [censored], I actually agree with you. I'm not a world series player, but I'm tired of putting in hours upon hours preparing for collections, flipping cards, investing stubs, playing hour and hours of offline boring games just so I can achieve something that sds will give away at the last minute.

I did prepare and I make WS pretty much every season kid… for me it’s not an issue to earn the cards, dang it if I had as much time to play like I had two seasons ago I’d probably make WS and get 40 wins and sell of the rewards while the prices are still “high”.
SDS is running a business here and we are customers after all, if customer satisfaction is low SDS will find a way to keep people playing the game, buying stubs and bringing in revenue, we (not casuals) are the minority.

Oh come on I have a game at 7 and have to leave at 5
