They need to divisionalise the ranked seasons.
By that. I mean you CHOOSE your difficulty before the game. You may participate in anything from Veteran to Legend. So all 4 difficulties if you want during the same season.
The ranking system remains the same 0-900+. If you make 900 or get 30 wins you get the WS reward.
However. The reward is based upon which division you achieve it in. So in The first season for example
If you make WS in Veteran you get a 90 overall pick
AS you get a 93 pick
HoF you get a 95 pick
Legend should get you a 99.I like this idea.
I tank. I have no desire to improve. I don’t like HoF or higher. AS is where I like to play.
It’s a video game. And the above idea caters for all IMO
If you think having an exclusive card for a legend RS caters to all, then I think you missed the whole point of the 30 win program to begin with. Either make the 30 wins non sellable or implement a penalty for quitting. Exclusive cards is what got us into this in the first place
This exactly, prior to 19 i never made WS, never completed collections, i grinded and got better to make WS finally in 19 sold my chipper and felt awesome, thats what made ranked fun. People now just use the "its more fun" thats the weakest mindset i've ever heard in a video game, if you wanna have fun then have fun but you shouldnt be able to sell the WS card that the people at constantly push towards in trying to get better. The 400s-500 are meant for the players that need to be there. Tanking is no different than smurffing.

Not a bad idea. The only thing that makes me go "meh" is the overproliferation of free 99 cards to begin with. But I suppose that's unavoidable. I think 99's come way too soon and way too often, but veteran DD players have said that isn't going anywhere.

That being said tanking is the biggest problem, not the win programs in general. By no means is 30(40 earlier in the year) ranked wins in a month a handout if you don't tank. Lose the tanking(or boosting in BR's case) and I don't see a problem with any of the way these programs were handled

No, it’s guys obsessively complaining that they either aren’t good enough to earn a card or didn’t get a stubs order in quick enough to get a card that got us to where we are.
I do agree with both your suggestions on penalties for quits or non sellable rewards.
It was never about people complaining they weren't good enough to get a card. It was the million stubs waitlists, which should not exist. You shouldn't have to wait 3 weeks to a month for an order to go through on a card. That is ridiculous no matter the skill level of who wants the card.
Disagree. It was supposed to be a limited card , not a bag of Doritos on every C store and grocery shelf n the world. So just because you have the stubs doesn’t mean there are enough of them to meet the demand.
In 19 the world series and BR rewards never topped 600k and there was never any talk of the cards "not being exclusive enough"
If I have the stubs, I should be able to purchase a card, period.
I'm not some scrub that can't make world series either. I just don't enjoy ranked at all.
No one seems to have a problem with the BR program despite it being 40 times easier to complete than the RS wins. If people didn't tank I'm not sure this thread even exists. Thats all that needs to happen is the tanking stopped. There is ways do do that without getting these cards back to million stub month long waitlists
It's a MARKET, not a STORE. You having the stubs is only part of the equation. The cards aren't sitting on shelves in an unlimited supply.
It's not a perfect system, to be sure. But "I want it I should be able to get it" leads to EA-style microtransaction madness. I salute SDS for not giving in to that.

Max stub waitlisted cards by year:
MLB 17=3
MLB 18=0
MLB 19=0
MLB 20=30+
MLB 21=1If you can't see why they put these programs in then whatever. The only other solution is to lower the supply of stubs the average player has (which i wouldn't be against to be fair, team affinity gives out far too much), which would go over less well than the 6 of you being upset that cards aren't exclusive enough

You clearly have no idea how a business operates (SDS is a business and The Show is a consumer product). No business (that wants to last anyways) makes decisions that appease 2% of their customers at the cost of the “happiness” of the other 98%. The programs were a brilliant business move by SDS end of story. The Show is exactly like Doritos (both are consumer products). If you want to get some super reward for your skill at something, try an actual sport not a video game.

It's not an either/or. It's a brilliant business model (but not as predatory/profitable as it could be) and a competitive mode (though not as much so as a sport per se).

As much as I hate to agree with this I do. I am active duty military so I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to playing MLBTS as I have friends I play other games with. however because people only have to get 30 Ws I find myself get early rage quits and can't get better at the game so when I do face someone who is good or has been able to put in some work i get shelled. In Aug of last year I went on a ship for a deployment got sent back on emergency leave so my stats set all the way back to the lowest I played 3-4 games one night and actually played only 2. Because my first couple opponents quit early. One of them I struck out the side and he quit, next one hit a first pitch in the hole and he quit, then faced a decent player who took an early lead but I fought back and he eventually quit, then I faced a good player and he mercy ruled me. So yea I agree make RS competitive again. Give those of us with little time the ability to get the good cards but make them unsellable.

implement the ticket counter for WS cards, if you want to play and get the rewards withou playing on hof you can but you need to earn tickets aka playing games throughout the entire game nets you x amount of tickets
-
To further reinforce my previous post. I watch a few YouTubers and most of them end up having to play upto 3 or 4 games per video just to keep content going because they get early rage quits it honestly hurting the game and community. I understand why the did that, some of us don't have the time to dedicate to the game like myself being in the military, I know if I had the time I could get good enough to make WS but sadly I don't have the time especially for 21 but if they made the cards unsellable I'd be perfectly fine with that

You are the exact guy I am talking about in my earlier posts. Unlike dragon who brings something g to this forum, you do not. Every time you post I just roll my eyes. Glad you got access to every card this year. Good for you!!!! You are now the only person I have in my blocked list.

I’m glad you blocked me, because I really have no desire to engage with people who don’t understand that their beloved game is actually a consumer product. And of course your response was to block because you can’t refute my point.
Having access to every card is good for SDS full stop. Wait lists are bad for SDS full stop. This isn’t rocket science, it’s like intro to business stuff.
