COVID-19 Content

I hope @SDS_Jax can give us some sort of update on how COVID will be affecting content. Obviously stuff like POTM and Inside Edge aren't going to happen until we get back on the field. But I felt content kind of weak in Inning 1 with no new Conquest maps after launch, few moments to earn stars outside of player programs -- this all feels much different than, say, last year's programs. Is this due to COVID and how will that affect content as this Quarantine goes on and on...and on and on and on and on...
-
Last year we had 4 Storylines and we had Topps Now moments at this point. I think it would be cool if they created historical Topps now moments to fill the gap or something to make up for the lack of Topps Now, but I'm not sure that's something that can be made quickly
-
Honestly, I feel like they’ve probably been using the 1st inning as a time to plan ahead and figure stuff out for the rest of the year.
-
I understand why people want more moments, but why to people keep bringing up lack of conquest maps? You realize the first conquest map we got last year that wasn't Starter/Usa/ inning maps was the jackie Robinson map, and Jackie Robinson day isn't for another 10 days

I think it's because towards the end of the game we were getting more and more maps.

I can't imagine COVID /NOT/ affecting content -- it would be nice if SDS was more transparent about this going forward. Like, clearly, there's going to be less stuff coming out while so many people can only work from home and there's no baseball. SDS should really give us an update on how this all affects content, since most of what we get is Headliners and a couple of (very nice) player programs that can be completed in half an hour.

Exactly. It made it appear as if that was the direction they were planning going forward.

There was still only about 2 per inning. Like I said i completely agree more moments are needing but I'm just not understanding the need for more conquest maps when they are pretty much on the exactly the same schedule in regards to those so far

Need is the wrong word. Want is a much more suitable term
-
Conquest was the most obvious thing they could add. But mostly that stars were much harder to come by than last year's grind. I just want something to progress towards besides the regularly scheduled XP milestones.
Headliner cards are just not cutting it

Do you think we're getting the same amount of content as least year at this point?

I'm not sure that's really relevant.

That was the entire point of this post that you're commenting on:
Has COVID affected content and how will it going forward.

With conquest, headliners, and Rs/ Br Rewards? Yes. With XP and events, I'd argue we are getting more than last year. With individual moments, no. If you are considering showdown as a replacement for moments It closes the gap. If we had a season going on right now Topps now moments would put us at the exact same amount of content as last year at this time. Adding historic topps now moments every week would satisfy everyone IMO

Hmm...I didn't think of Showdown as a replacement for moments. Good point, although I find Showdowns (while very interesting) extremely frustrating!

Meaning what? Given we dont know whats coming. How exactly are u doing this? Getting what and can and looking at lineups gaps? Buying packs/players and saving for what u need? I dont understand the relevance of the vague comment
-
The only difference between now and last year at this time is Topps now moments. Inning specific moments have been replaced with Showdown.

What about the 4 sets of Storyline moments

You mean the ones that were harder than moments extreme and almost no one actually completed because they gave garbage cards? good riddance
