What a disappointment....

Let’s be fair.
First, I think the early launch was a complete disaster. Shame on SDS. And I despise almost all the changes they made to the game.
BUT. Last year you couldn’t get all the 42’s for free either. And in any inning program you only got one boss. So not getting all the opening cards isn’t a new thing.
There will be ways to get them for free later, I’d predict

Give it time. They will add more content. Hopefully they see our displeasure with how they compressed daily moments, team affinity, and the inning program into one program and make some changes.
I agree tho. Team Affinity last year was hundreds of free packs on top of the free packs from the inning and daily. Now the whole program gives you like 10 packs to earn.
Team Affinity was the biggest reason I enjoyed the game; if we don't get something equivalent I will be a sad panda. Made it so much fun to grind.
Yeah, for people who enjoy offline it was a great program, along with Monthly Awards. If they don't have similar feels and reward structures, it's a massive miss.

shame on them for sure - at this point it sounds like for those who did the pre-order they paid $20 extra to be beta testers

SDS should partly refund those who paid for early access. I'll keep the game, but having progress continually wiped out when you paid for time with the game is unacceptable.

Man it makes me laugh how upset people are over this when SDS has been accused of being a money grab for things well before this and everything worked out fine.
Let me tell you a story about a game called MLB the show 18 and it's little gem of a thing called exchanges. If there is a money grab thing ever it was these as they all came from packs and the community Sai the same thing back then. Now 18 had many things wrong with it but that was the money grab that everyone said SDS had become EA for that was 4 games ago now.
-
The big miss here is for people who prefer offline, which was stated above. I get that players like Cabrera and Degrom created an online problem. And because of that, offline players have very little to do, thanks to the eliminated content. I'm becoming kind of a hybrid because I like BR, but I can't imagine ever enjoying RS. Therefore, I was hoping for big offline programs like TA with TA conquests, and other programs with lots of cards so I can change my rosters up. Playing offline with one roster gets old real quick.
I do agree with @CDNmoneymaker93_MLBTS regarding giving them a chance. Perhaps they have a lot of content geared towards offline players up their sleeve. If not, and it's just monthly featured programs like this, this year will be a huge L primarily for offline players.
I spent almost as much time playing 21 this weekend because of the lack varied content to grind. Admittedly that had much to do with the servers and mini seasons being broken as anything else, but that should be a huge red flag when the old game seems more appealing than the new one.

Why does everyone hate the commentary? At least everything is baseball related and its not just stupid jokes.

I'll try to be objective and keep you posted. Win or lose, I'm in for the long haul. Are you more of an online or offline player? Im kind of a hybrid.
Also, how can I change my icon on here? I did it in game but it's not registering on here? Major first world problems here.

Unlike Matty V and co., the new crew has 0 personality and the presentation seems too scripted and dry. This is a big step backwards.

I sadly miss hearing about how batters' hands felt like they were being STUNG BY A PACK A WASPS!!

I like the matter of fact tone and lack of personality. They sound like an actual broadcasting crew. The last crew sounded like an improv dup doing baseball themed stand up-comedy.

The only problem is that you don't get a choice out of the first 6 packs. Only getting 12/30 is fine. You don't need every card in the game for free. Just because it isn't the handout that MLB 21 was doesn't mean anyone needs to buy stubs.
The issue is using words like "improvement' and phrases like "quality of life" and not really explaining how this improves our experience nor the games quality.

I'll only take a refund if it's in the form of LS Mike Trout

I think it's fine. You can't complete the entire TA in one day. Calm down.

This is the worst release in terms of stability I have seen from this company. Ranging from the "unhandled exception error" I see in so many situations multiple times per day, to wins being counted as losses, to the massive number of market issues that somehow properly track transactions while not actually completing them. Keep in mind this was all during early access, just wait for full release and see how bad it gets.
Unfortunately, we are living in an era where formerly trusted and professional game developers are becoming more like the worst actors in the industry. What happened to CD Projekt Red is happening to SDS. It's impossible that these issues weren't experienced during internal testing, but they don't care anymore and just want the money.
IMO, the game has regressed as a whole over the last 2 years. Yes, there are nice new features but too many bugs to be worth it. This drop off in quality is directly related to the expansion of platforms, which is obviously happening faster than they are capable of maintaining. It's so sad that it has become ok to charge for early access to a product that doesn't work correctly.

Oh I remember worse. I keep flashing back to the year that their servers were so overloaded that Conquest wins were being sent to a queue never to be heard from again.
I don't play online but do play DD and I had more error last year I think (I obviously did not keep count)
