Miss the ticket counter (few years now) and extreme
the ticket counter was the absolute best

We need extremes for sure. I'm hoping SDS didn't get the wrong idea about some guys complaining how hard it is. A lot of players just want all prizes that are available for free or as easy as they can get it. They don't really care for playing the game to get them. But us players that play year after year and actually love this game love those challenges. But I guess it does kinda feel like year after year they care less about their die hard fan base.

That was so much fun and gave you a ton of options. Upgrade now or save for the studs later

that 99 beltran from 17, was probably my favorite card of all time.

Hands down best card in ticket counter history

Also the reason for the ticket counters down fall as no card would ever live up to that standard

Liked: WS and BR programs, the cards from Team Affinity were better so far (it depends on how they do finest) and the way you were able to grind TA without showdown. I liked that the inning programs didn’t give so much for the previous boss collection. As for the extreme program, I’m glad I haven’t seen it, (I guess I’m not extreme enough); but would like all-time teams. All of the different programs: FoD, RiB, etc. The addition of the Milestone cards (don’t know why some no hitter cards have maxed out h/9 and some don’t, it represents a day of a no hitter). The daily moment program is a great addition, and giving players more than 24 hrs to finish moments.
Didn’t like: Not repeating inning bosses from previous years. Multiple collection rewards, it drove prices up too early. The way all of the top lefty relievers and a lot of the best pitchers were not available in inning programs. Conquests with the time limit. The elimination of a separate XP program. Stubs were harder to earn without “playing the market,” I bought the game to play baseball, would have bought a Wall Street game to play markets. I bought stubs a few times and am worried they are going the way of other sports games I no longer play. Last year I had millions of stubs, never made it past 500K this year. Sometimes I feel they are going to end up making the game for elite competitors pushing the regular player out. Last year I enjoyed playing with the team I had and was happy with the players I earned or decided to buy.
The game is not over, so things that will make or break the game for me: Making Ken Griffey Jr’s card an obtainable card for regular players, the high card of his I have to use will not do it, (I know the YouTubers don’t use him, so let those who want him have him). Also how Finest is released; last year they were TA and sellable, so something like last year.
The reason you had millions of stubs last year is the same reason there were 30+ cards with a waitlist at a million stubs. Because Finest cards were sellable. Finest don't need to be sellable again. The BR program is a great way to make stubs. If you are an offline player, I'm sorry, but super casual players shouldn't have multiple millions of stubs for doing nothing. Buy, Flip, or Earn. Anyone could make millions of stubs last year for nothing and it caused waitlisted cards that had no business being a million
I understand why you would think that; however, I didn’t sell any Finest last year, or any Faces of Franchise. I just liked that if I wanted to buy one before I was able to grind them out I could. Plus, I didn’t mind cards being 1 million stubs last year. I bought a few and got them within a few days. I know Chipper there was a problem with, but the 2019 Finest Bregman card was a better card and the same price. They just had so many rewards that were 10,000 stubs in TA and the XP program. We have waitlists now and nothing is sellable. I’m fine with TA cards not being sellable. They are not as hard to obtain. I am just not a fan of showdown.
But I am sure you are correct in that some people did make millions of stubs selling Finest cards, I just cannot prove it possible because I didn’t sell one of them. I play almost every day. I don’t know what you consider a “casual player,” but I am not someone whose career is playing video games. I am just a baseball fan playing The Show. I don’t care what other people do as long as they are not cheating or making the game unenjoyable. -
Is actually so easy for any “casual” to make stubs, pay attention to the market and what’s going on in real life and investments should take care of themselves

I miss being able to complete previous innings at my leisure and Ty Cobb

The Extreme moments I could not get those done, I was able to do the CQ and Showdown extreme but the Moments were super hard, I just gave up on it.

I miss the all timers program and Extreme mostly. I enjoyed the challenge of both of those programs.

I still miss about everything from the 17' player programs. The Griffey program took month upon months to finish. I think the first person didnt finish it until well after the all star break.
I never dipped into DD until late last year, but I've done it from the start this year. That sounds cool -- it would be nice to have a grind program introduced at the outset that would take most players months to complete. I like looking at the progress indicators after a game to see if I advanced in any programs. I would definitely like to see that next year -- maybe a choice of 3 (God-tier Hank would be a nice gesture, maybe Jackie, then RANDY JOHNSON???).

This kinda shows you how much you had to do.

In my 5-6 years of playing DD this has by far been the easiest year to acquire any and all content. We quickly getting into participation trophy territory IMO. This is coming from someone who has never made WS or 12-0 BR. There should be a few cards that actually require lots of skill/talent ora massive amount of flipping to get.
