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
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.
There's a difference between earning something, and just being given it.

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.
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.

He is assuming I can’t even sniff WS becuse I don’t care about others getting top tier cards, some people bought a ton of cards to profit from this collection and SDS is trying regulate the market. I don’t see why this is a problem, unless you are trying to make stubs.

Yeah I think the point people fail to realize on this forum is that the people that are on here are generally people that play a lot and have god squads etc. We are not the "average player". The average player probably doesn't spend any time on The Show message boards or following every social media post about the game. 95 overall Topps Now cards are hella good starters for them. And they're happy about that and that's cool. Some put in the extra time and some can't or choose not to. Some people need to spend $ on the game in order to feel they can compete and some don't.

It's not about the cards, It's about the stubbs. Playing the market is a big part of this game, and these flash sales are designed to give away the collection cards to people who did not prepare for the collection. Which is cool, but it punishes those who did prepare.
Luckily I kinda knew not to put any stock into certain cards, but still. I understand why people think certain cards should be harder to obtain.

This 1000% - if you were buying low tier KS1/2 cards for 30k, you knew there could be some kind of risk when you invest in a card that costs more than the pack when it was available.

I’d rather sell my rewards in the range 150-300K stubs than to have to wait for 250 orders of 1M stubs to fill in to avoid playing modes based on luck and RNG like BR.
The flash sale only purpose is to bring in revenue via stub sales and to keep market stability.

The average player has a God squad now too, thanks to ta3. So 500 hours of grinding since release gets you an 98 overall team, or 5 hours of ta3.

The vast majority of people don't "play the market" though. They play the game. Most people aren't interested in that and or don't have time for that. People who play a lot have a very skewed idea of what the average MLB The Show player is.

I guarantee you that at least 50% of people that play DD have not completed TA3. Probably more. Let alone the other collections like LS and Jackie etc.

Haha no, although that might be closer to my level than the ws 12-0 people I always get pair against. Nonetheless I will stand strong on what I said earlier "some cards should be hard to obtain".
There's just to much given away, which is fine, but not when an entire group of people have to earn the cards before they were made so easily obtainable. And I'm not talking about weeks down the road (that is understandable) but they sank the prices in this collection before it even came out.
-
I'm not saying I necessarily agree or disagree either way. I get the argument and I feel a little salty sometimes too. I don't play nearly as much as I'd like just because of my busy life. But I've put in a fair share of grinding and have all the TAs done, 42 and LS. But I think people just assume everyone has an insane 98 overall team. Hell a vast amount of people don't even play RS or online even. Many people just go after a theme team or just players they like. No matter how you look at it people either grind or spend $ on the game. If someone doesn't grind enough odds are they don't have the same cards you do. They may have a TA3 98 overall card that is good. So what? They don't have your "cool rare" 99 overall Chipper. In the end it comes down to people wanting to "first to get" cards and want rarer cards. It's human nature to want to be the best and have the best. I'll take my 99 overall Chipper over someone having a 98 overall AS Devers for example. They are both good cards but the rarity of Chipper is cool. Honestly, it all comes down to personal talent anyways. It doesn't matter who you have on your team if you aren't good at the game, when it comes to online play. A team of Topps now cards could easily beat a God Squad if the player was good.

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
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.
Yeah I think the point people fail to realize on this forum is that the people that are on here are generally people that play a lot and have god squads etc. We are not the "average player". The average player probably doesn't spend any time on The Show message boards or following every social media post about the game. 95 overall Topps Now cards are hella good starters for them. And they're happy about that and that's cool. Some put in the extra time and some can't or choose not to. Some people need to spend $ on the game in order to feel they can compete and some don't.
The average player has a God squad now too, thanks to ta3. So 500 hours of grinding since release gets you an 98 overall team, or 5 hours of ta3.
So you want to go up against TA1 squads with your god squad and have a very good time while others don’t have a chance at beating you because you played 500 hours?
Haha no, although that might be closer to my level than the ws 12-0 people I always get pair against. Nonetheless I will stand strong on what I said earlier "some cards should be hard to obtain".
There's just to much given away, which is fine, but not when an entire group of people have to earn the cards before they were made so easily obtainable. And I'm not talking about weeks down the road (that is understandable) but they sank the prices in this collection before it even came out.
Some cards ARE hard to obtain. You have to take a step back though and look at the big picture. Your idea of hard to obtain and someone else's can be completely different. Doesn't mean either way of looking at it is right or wrong, it's just how it is.

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.
It’s crazy…. I’m not saying that not everyone should get him but the players who prepared should be rewarded for 1) getting the card early and 2) selling any extra cards for a huge profit.
