I don't understand what this player base wants
To quote Tony Montana..."The world, chico. And everything in it."
Seriously...a lot of people in here will never be satisfied. They could give a 99 Babe Ruth at 750K xp and they would still complain that everyone else has him. Like they all want some rare reward that no one else can get or something. They complain that its hard to get money/stubs in this game...then they complain about getting
checks list
7 Headliners packs
3 Big Dog packs
5 BIAH packs
1 Cover pack
1 Takhashi pack
25 Show packsTo me, that looks like at least 5 guaranteed diamonds that you can keep or sell for at least 60K stubs depending on the pulls and market value....plus most likely dupes you can sell, and at least 5 golds you can sell. All for playing a game.
100% just solid rewards in this program then in 2 weeks we get a whole program with rewards like it's just alptmpf fun

This Program right now only needs 500K to complete it, but it also ends in 13 days. So we have to rush a grind to get 500K in XP & I doubt they will kick in Double XP earnings next week.
See, there lies the difference between players. To me the program needs 200K to complete it. That is when you get the Boss reward. That is also probably what SDS considers completion.
It is fine if you want to get all the way to the end to get all of the bonuses but don't pretend like it is mandatory or that you are somehow required to get there.
After the first program people were complaining that they finished tooo quickly and that the bonus rewards were not carried out far enough. So SDS actually listened and greatly extended the bonuses after the boss pack and now people are complaining that it is too much to get done in the time allotted.

IMO the program itself is not the issue. What is the issue to me is the path line of rewards. They just do not "WOW" me. The dont excite me or motivate me to go thru the grind of getting 500K to 750K in XP to complete it for the final grand reward. This Program right now only needs 500K to complete it, but it also ends in 13 days. So we have to rush a grind to get 500K in XP & I doubt they will kick in Double XP earnings next week. I am just very disappointed so far with 22
Look at that final 100k tho... It's 20 total packs and not worth the purposeful grind
My problem is that I grinded hard to finish the last program and burned myself out after finishing at 700k there
But the last 100k is just bonus. Think of the final reward as Haliday. They put the rest of the path in there because people were complaining their xp was being wasted. I know everyone wants to see a LS 90 plus choice pack but it way too early to tank the market with something like that.

I kinda like the weird hybrid system we have. This Halladay Program feels like one of those old Immortal Programs combined with an inning program.

I think of the end point being the Art choice back (Mantle/Utley/Rickey/Randy/Vlad), since after that I think is just 5 pack bundles

I much preferred last year's inning programs and stat based missions for each card you earned as opposed to slogging through this crappy "Earn PXP with these players" missions. Change my mind or help me to see this is a better system,, SDS.
I've said this in other threads but I MUCH prefer it. First of all for pitchers it's basically the same as last year, one or two 3-inning games and you're done. However pitchers are "broken" this year when it's come to the large missions where you need a huge chunk of pxp for a certain team or card type. They get 40 just for an inning, 10 for each k, 20 for wins, holds, saves. It piles up super super fast.
As for hitters, this probably does take a bit more time, but I still prefer it to "5 extra base hits" with this guy and "3 home runs" with that guy. I hate having to keep track of who needs to do what, and I hate feeling like I have to press and power swing and then get annoyed when a guy needs home runs and flies out to the track or goes 3-3 and none of it matters. The way it is now you just stick the guy in the lineup and forget about it, soon enough it'll be done. And you at least get 10 per at bat plus you know you're getting credit for every hit, every run, rbi, etc. Again vs needing HRs and then you don't get a home run and it was entirely a waste of time.

I expect a Double XP the 2nd week of the program and a bunch of Flash sales maybe due to MDW?

Just like the inning programs the grand prize ends a little over half way thru. In this case well before 200k xp for the grand prize. You don’t have to grind past that. So anyone saying it’s a mindless grind, well yes, it is. After 200k it’s just packs. If you value packs then go for it. Me I’ll take my time and get my Doc card. Everything else is gravy.
This isn’t much different than the inning program. It’s the same package with a different bow.
But the difference is that the packs at the end were choice packs. You got to see what you could choose from pending if it was split with a Rare Pack or Standard Pack. It was not just ONLY Show Packs, HL's or BAIH's that will most times ONLY give at best a Gold Card.
For reference the same choice packs at the end of last year path are in this program Space pack vs big dog pack they are the same.
The only difference is that last year there was a 85-89 Live series choice pack is that really that much better?
For reference the 90+ choice pack at the end of the inning programs happy in the 6th inning programs which dropped August 27. So I mean we are still a long way from that

what stinks to me is the same packs of silver batter and classics in this program...why not add new ones

This program launched the same day as the tiger packs, yet no tiger packs are a reward for the quest. Kinda lame tbh

The pitching PXP requirements are fine, IMO. And If they would make hitting more consistent (ie, we have more success on “good” and “perfect” contact), the hitting PXP would be fine too.
As mentioned, I do prefer this PXP method more than the “ get 5 XBH with player X” from last year.

Yep, the DD content format was more enjoyable last year. There seemed to be more anticipation and excitement on who the next TA cards were going to be. The same goes for the inning bosses. Even the daily moments had a unique card reward. This year's content is not horrible, it just seems flat compared to last year.

After TA 2 every single comment about the inning programs was "these aren't better then any thing you can get for free from TA for less effort" pretty easy to see why SDS changed things the community told them they way they were doing things ain't working

That's what I'm saying. Going to be really hard to make coins if they are going to keep releasing the same cards from the promo before.
