The Good, the bad, and the ugly. (my opinion)
-
The good - gameplay
The bad - commentary (yikes), not enough content for offline players yet (that will probably change)
The ugly - face of the franchise packs beign random. What gives on this, i was really hoping to get Trout in one form or another out of the gate and I was excited to see him in Faces of the Franchise but making it a 1 in 5 chance is asinine especially because you only get 12 choices and then have to buy the others for now. Sure they will be in packs like crazy going forward but silly move.

Why is it that they have released this game for maybe 20 years straight and every time its like the first time they're doing it?

When you get to the next AL West FOTF on the program path it is a choice pack I believe.

Yes and from what i understand it's random who you get out of the choice pack. I'm not there personally but according to another poster thats how it's working at least this time around.
So you might get Trout but you could get Haniger or Murphy.

I would be surprised if that is the case.
The first pack says "1 Player"
The second pack at 405,000 says "Choose one player"Unless you are saying that the later pack won't present you will all 5 options I assume you can choose.

Will see when i get there, if thats the case thats fine and i hope your right but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't a little pessimistic at this point. I'm well off though (only 50,000)

I'm sure some people are closing in on it. I am only at 100k so I have not reached the first one yet.
We should know at 255k since that is the first "Choose One" pack you get. It is for the NL Central. I want that Tommy Edman so we will see how it goes.
AL West, unfortunately is the last of the divisions we get that pack for, that is probably how they are trying to limit it.

First one is actually 120,000 but it's no sell.
-
They are different packs.
The first pack for each division is a random choice and is no sell. The second pack for each division is a choice pack and, I believe, is sellable. I am pretty sure that is what they said in last Thursday's stream. I am too lazy to go check though.
You are able to put buy orders in on them so that hints at the second pack (the choice one) being a sellable reward.

Yes, that makes sense, sorry about tue confusion. Best of luck this year.

Good - joe mauer
Bad - losing Randy Johnson after a complete transaction
Ugly - Ryan Howard disappearing after canceling a sale order and SDS probably not going to do anything to replace my lost players/stubs
-
In the SDS stream they said the 1st pack os random and not sellable, the next pack for that division is a choice pack and it is sellable.
-
The good: "Blondie"- Clint Eastwood
The bad: " Angel eyes" - Lee van Cleef
The ugly: " Tuco"- Eli Wallach. -

- randy johnson
Good - game play, I’ve noticed a ton of hit variety. Singles and doubles in the gap a lot more often.
The bad - servers, what a joke and it’s gonna be worse on April 4th when Xbox gamepass goes live.
The ugly - the sh*tty XP amounts. I’ve completed the USA conquest, played non stop , done some moments and I’m at 75K XP.
You get 500 measly XP for the player missions and moments for the program tab. Only 15K XP for showdown? That should be 25K minimum and reputable up to 3x
We need a double XP weekend ASAP!!
You'll get your double XP at the end of the month. Thanks for playing.

The Good
- CO OP- a lot of bugs in this mode and it’s basically just exhibition with no rewards, but once they fine tune it and start adding rewards think it will be one of the best modes in the game.
- Innings played instead of wins in Ranked Seasons. Every player should be able to achieve all cards in a game they paid money for. World Series whiners will just have to deal with that.
The Bad
- Commentary- Who are these guys, it’s about as boring as watching Bob Ross paint a picture.
- Moments- just get rid of them all together.
- Taking a turn for the worse for NMS players- May be to early to tell so we’ll see when the game officially launches next week.
The Ugly
- Whatever this TA/inning program is- it’s terrible and was probably the worst idea I’ve ever seen implemented in a game especially since both programs were fine just the way they were. Oh and not be able to pick the player you want or sell that player after putting the time in is BS.
- Mini Seasons (so far)- I can understand a few issues during launch but to play games and literally win but receive a loss is unacceptable and needs addressed with compensation of some sort for those affected by this.
- No DH- this is also unacceptable.
So for the good you put that everyone can achieve World Series and for bad say NMS players could be in for a more difficult time….which is it?

You lost me at Bob Ross watching him paint is the greatest thing on this planet and yes I am completely serious
-
Moments are fine.
DH is no big deal, glad we have it IRL, but not in the game. Takes away too many players for us. I like using my bench and my bullpen.
Commentary i always turn off anyways but I still have it on because these guys are different. It is a big change from years past but I dont think it is bad, just a big change of pace.
Co-op havent tried yet, not sure if I will.
Innings played instead of wins is a win yes.
Also agree that NMS seems very challenging this year. Hopefully it isnt so bad though as that is probably all that would be needed to shun me and many others from this game. -

They were stiffing us with the XP last year too, very stingy. It wasn’t until we kept saying it on the forum that they did something about it.
Speaking of, since we pre-ordered, we should’ve had this weekend with a double xp bonus.
-
The good - Conquest sim times. Hopefully that stays steady during the Tuesday official launch
