It is really a shame what the game has turned into with new generation consoles. I get you brother but I think this is a glimpse of things to come. There needs to be competition because people will still buy this game despite its shortcomings because there is no other baseball game. RBI doesn’t really count either.
Competition isn’t going to help, I don’t understand why people think that. It’s just going to be multiple baseball arcade sim’s similar to FIfa with more micro transactions because they are competing for revenue not player retention. We as a community, especially the veterans of the franchise have to stand up and say no. We have to inform the new players that this isn’t acceptable and isn’t what DD was built on.
I’ve been playing for three years, have obtained every card I wanted and have never completed a micro transaction. What are you actually talking about?
I am talking about the direction it is headed, you may not have had to complete a “‘micro transaction” this year but I bet you bought the pre order with 50,000 stubs? Have you spent majority of your time on the market flipping instead of playing the game?, I know you have missed out on the countless free packs and cards that were in the TA programs. Yet those same cards have all migrated to packs, and what about those who bought the game later in its life cycle? How do you suppose those players acquire the MS Britton or 2nd half Justice without purchasing stubs? You used to be able to acquire past program cards just by playing, now you better buy some stub’s and get to flipping or buy some stubs and buy them.
I bought the standard version when the future star program came out. I haven’t flipped any cards. I haven’t completed the McCutchen collection yet, but I will soon. It wasn’t a priority of mine, so I was selling all the random henchmen and [censored] you get just for playing. But anyways, to me, it all feels very similar to last year and the year before. I don’t see it moving in a negative direction. Maybe you’re right, and I’m just not seeing it - to me it just seems super easy to obtain cards
This year has more un sellable cards, no TA program which added cards and packs to help with collections, shorter timed programs. It’s vastly different.
There's definitely not more unsellable cards at all. The amount of non-collection unsellable cards is like 15. TA is completely overrated nonsense. At this point in the season I have not noticed any difference at all in the amount of free packs. I've opened like 6 tool box packs in the last 2 weeks without even looking for them. Also considering that last gen still doesn't have the post game progress screen, I'm pretty sure the game tracking 30 team affinity programs at once is what caused last year to have the worst server problems this game has ever had. Everyone has their own opinion on timed programs, but you can't seriously tell me that it's worse than the same format we had for 3 YEARS of inning programs, ranked, BR once a month, events and garbage player program every 2 weeks, and headliners
I have like 5-8 un sellable henchmen, some duplicates as well as POTM un sellable dupes which I still can’t figure out why I have them.
And I liked the inning programs, because it gave everyone a chance to obtain some cards even if they missed the program. Not everyone has time to dedicate everyday to this game.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the inning programs, you couldn't complete previous ones without doing the voucher right? That was the only way to get 300 stars(having the three previous bosses) I know that's the way it worked in 19, unsure about onwards.
You couldn’t complete them, but you could acquire the henchman (which in most cases were more valuable by the end of the year) and pick up some of the program oriented packs and stubs.
And this year they've been repeating henchmen a ton, or putting them in packs, and pretty much every henchmen is worth the quicksell now in this years game. also the packs in inning programs were pretty junk in 19 and 20, so I wouldn't really say it was all that good
I have only seen one rewind of henchmen this year and they were unsellable.
And all the henchmen are still quicksell anyway, if you are saying that the other system is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better because you couldn't grind all the way to 300 stars and got a few henchmen when now henchmen are still easy to acquire, idk what to say to that
Not all henchmen are QS, you have BR henchmen that yet again are unobtainable and most if not all will be required for collections. I never said it was way better, don’t twist my words, I said I preferred them because you could still earn towards them. If you didn’t get any stars you topped out at 150 coming into the program late, if you got a few stars you could still complete the program to the bosses. It wasn’t way better but I prefer it over the current timed programs.
Preferring it is one thing, but, and this is just what I'm reading and maybe I'm looking at it to hard, you a heralding the past inning programs as the hero of nms players and the new program as money grubbing leeches. There really isn't all that much difference, neither program let you get the big players once the time was up without buying them.

This game is super friendly to people who pick it up late. If you bought the game today, you could field an entire team just by completing the August MA. It would be a good team too, possibly really good depending on who you pulled in the AS and HRD packs toward the end of the program.
But you have no chance of completing the collections which contain the cracked cards, what would it cost a player who picked up the game today to complete Cutch and Brett?.
Maybe 4 to 6 weeks grinding, 3 weeks flipping, or a couple hundred grand lol.
4-6 weeks of grinding are going to get me the BR henchmen that aren’t obtainable anymore alongside the other henchman (specifically early)?. Just in the Rookie collection alone I can see multiple cards with nothing up for sale..checked program path and BR program path, don’t see them.

But you could, in the past if I made it to say 180 stars, had the conquest maps and some collections to drop in I could get the bosses, Now if you don’t make it to the boss you either have to flip instead of play or whip out the card to acquire them. Yet to see Takashi programs rewind released, they were kind enough to give us 1 of each division FOTF cards after the last program bosses. Not sure how that helps late buyers who need 27 of them just for the Brett collections.

I don’t know. But I also don’t think it’s reasonable to buy a game in September and expect to get two cards people have been working all year to get. I also don’t think starting Bregman or Devers or Riley at third instead of Brett or Betts in the OF instead of McCutchen is that huge of a deal. I never got Betts or any of the collection guys last year and made WS twice with guys like Lars Nootbar and Ke’Bryan Hayes

How relevant is that? Aren't we talking about new players just picking up the game and trying to get Cutch and such? I thought that was the point. They wouldn't have stars in any of the previous programs

Are you talking about the Bronze/silver/gold BR henchman? Because I could put an order in for each and every one of them and have them all by midnight. There are only 6 cards in the entire game that are completely unobtainable by any means other than the market and it's the first 6 90 point BR rewards. You get 4 of those bronze/silver/golds in every pack in the BR program

Why not? They paid the same price for the game as you did..the point of making RS and BR participation trophy oriented was so that “cards weren’t exclusive”.

You can buy Rookie Larkin right this second at 2204 stubs or put an order in at 1381. higher demand than supply doesn't mean unobtainable. You just don't want to pay over quicksell

The only BR program cards that stay at max price are the current ones in the program. In fact I've passed over Selling larkin from my silver packs 2 or 3 programs in a row because the veterans and Melancon were always higher priced. Larkin hasn't been without a buy now for 2 or 3 months. In fact the highest he was in the last month and a half was 3,700 sell now the way it shows in the app

This game is super friendly to people who pick it up late. If you bought the game today, you could field an entire team just by completing the August MA. It would be a good team too, possibly really good depending on who you pulled in the AS and HRD packs toward the end of the program.
But you have no chance of completing the collections which contain the cracked cards, what would it cost a player who picked up the game today to complete Cutch and Brett?.
Maybe 4 to 6 weeks grinding, 3 weeks flipping, or a couple hundred grand lol.
4-6 weeks of grinding are going to get me the BR henchmen that aren’t obtainable anymore alongside the other henchman (specifically early)?. Just in the Rookie collection alone I can see multiple cards with nothing up for sale..checked program path and BR program path, don’t see them.
Are you talking about the Bronze/silver/gold BR henchman? Because I could put an order in for each and every one of them and have them all by midnight. There are only 6 cards in the entire game that are completely unobtainable by any means other than the market and it's the first 6 90 point BR rewards. You get 4 of those bronze/silver/golds in every pack in the BR program
Can you get me one to? Because I have had an order in for rookie Larkin for 2 weeks. Again though why are any cards unobtainable, I thought SDS wanted to move away from that?

I was just on last weekend he wasn’t up for sale, there wasn’t any. So unless the PS and Xbox markets are different I never saw him for sale. Perhaps just bad timing?

It is really a shame what the game has turned into with new generation consoles. I get you brother but I think this is a glimpse of things to come. There needs to be competition because people will still buy this game despite its shortcomings because there is no other baseball game. RBI doesn’t really count either.
Competition isn’t going to help, I don’t understand why people think that. It’s just going to be multiple baseball arcade sim’s similar to FIfa with more micro transactions because they are competing for revenue not player retention. We as a community, especially the veterans of the franchise have to stand up and say no. We have to inform the new players that this isn’t acceptable and isn’t what DD was built on.
I’ve been playing for three years, have obtained every card I wanted and have never completed a micro transaction. What are you actually talking about?
I am talking about the direction it is headed, you may not have had to complete a “‘micro transaction” this year but I bet you bought the pre order with 50,000 stubs? Have you spent majority of your time on the market flipping instead of playing the game?, I know you have missed out on the countless free packs and cards that were in the TA programs. Yet those same cards have all migrated to packs, and what about those who bought the game later in its life cycle? How do you suppose those players acquire the MS Britton or 2nd half Justice without purchasing stubs? You used to be able to acquire past program cards just by playing, now you better buy some stub’s and get to flipping or buy some stubs and buy them.
I bought the standard version when the future star program came out. I haven’t flipped any cards. I haven’t completed the McCutchen collection yet, but I will soon. It wasn’t a priority of mine, so I was selling all the random henchmen and [censored] you get just for playing. But anyways, to me, it all feels very similar to last year and the year before. I don’t see it moving in a negative direction. Maybe you’re right, and I’m just not seeing it - to me it just seems super easy to obtain cards
This year has more un sellable cards, no TA program which added cards and packs to help with collections, shorter timed programs. It’s vastly different.
There's definitely not more unsellable cards at all. The amount of non-collection unsellable cards is like 15. TA is completely overrated nonsense. At this point in the season I have not noticed any difference at all in the amount of free packs. I've opened like 6 tool box packs in the last 2 weeks without even looking for them. Also considering that last gen still doesn't have the post game progress screen, I'm pretty sure the game tracking 30 team affinity programs at once is what caused last year to have the worst server problems this game has ever had. Everyone has their own opinion on timed programs, but you can't seriously tell me that it's worse than the same format we had for 3 YEARS of inning programs, ranked, BR once a month, events and garbage player program every 2 weeks, and headliners
I have like 5-8 un sellable henchmen, some duplicates as well as POTM un sellable dupes which I still can’t figure out why I have them.
And I liked the inning programs, because it gave everyone a chance to obtain some cards even if they missed the program. Not everyone has time to dedicate everyday to this game.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the inning programs, you couldn't complete previous ones without doing the voucher right? That was the only way to get 300 stars(having the three previous bosses) I know that's the way it worked in 19, unsure about onwards.
You couldn’t complete them, but you could acquire the henchman (which in most cases were more valuable by the end of the year) and pick up some of the program oriented packs and stubs.
And this year they've been repeating henchmen a ton, or putting them in packs, and pretty much every henchmen is worth the quicksell now in this years game. also the packs in inning programs were pretty junk in 19 and 20, so I wouldn't really say it was all that good
I have only seen one rewind of henchmen this year and they were unsellable.
And all the henchmen are still quicksell anyway, if you are saying that the other system is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better because you couldn't grind all the way to 300 stars and got a few henchmen when now henchmen are still easy to acquire, idk what to say to that
Not all henchmen are QS, you have BR henchmen that yet again are unobtainable and most if not all will be required for collections. I never said it was way better, don’t twist my words, I said I preferred them because you could still earn towards them. If you didn’t get any stars you topped out at 150 coming into the program late, if you got a few stars you could still complete the program to the bosses. It wasn’t way better but I prefer it over the current timed programs.
Preferring it is one thing, but, and this is just what I'm reading and maybe I'm looking at it to hard, you a heralding the past inning programs as the hero of nms players and the new program as money grubbing leeches. There really isn't all that much difference, neither program let you get the big players once the time was up without buying them.
But you could, in the past if I made it to say 180 stars, had the conquest maps and some collections to drop in I could get the bosses, Now if you don’t make it to the boss you either have to flip instead of play or whip out the card to acquire them. Yet to see Takashi programs rewind released, they were kind enough to give us 1 of each division FOTF cards after the last program bosses. Not sure how that helps late buyers who need 27 of them just for the Brett collections.
How relevant is that? Aren't we talking about new players just picking up the game and trying to get Cutch and such? I thought that was the point. They wouldn't have stars in any of the previous programs
No they wouldn’t but they could pick up cards, stubs and packs that would work towards them. Right now they can’t get anything, and those cards at QS price will increase in value making them even harder to obtain for new buyers.

I think you are overstating how much stubs and packs came before 300 stars, it really wasn't much at all. Yeah it's something, but nowhere near significant enough to progress much in a Cutch like collection. As I said, there isn't that much difference, both didn't let you go back and get the good cards

I don't hate it, I don't think it's bad. It's just mediocre.
I think that’s what I hate about it the most!…we shouldn’t be getting mediocre at this point!.
Hot and probably unpopular take.
But if you take 17 gameplay and slap it on this game, there would still be loud bellyaching from everyone.
Thats because you have 100+ attributes messing with the RNG, ‘17 gameplay without 100+ attributes would annoy the new players at first, but like the rest of us the enjoyment from the gameplay would push them to continue to improve. W.E this is that they are throwing out as DD and gameplay is not The Show, it’s a horrible attempt to attract and hook casual’s, while making money at the same time.
I love the game and the content. Not a huge fan of having to grind against the cpu to get some of the cards, but I also don’t have a better idea for how the community can earn cards otherwise. I think it’s become more and more popular to [censored] on the game online, but in my opinion, it’s the best sports game on the market. I don’t get all the YFK clones out here complaining. A lot of the complaints are ridiculous. They didn’t super charge enough cards? Who tf cares? There’s two “99” Clemente cards - 1 locked behind a collection, the other available to everyone in a program released for Roberto Clemente Day - we’re crying about that? There are too many juiced cards, so everyone isn’t using the same 8 cards? I don’t see any of this as a bad thing. The biggest issues I have with this game is the toxic community- people trying to find every exploit and every way to be annoying in online matches and then running here or to twitter every time they lose and crying about the RNG.
Don't forget to pre-order your roster update!!

absolutely mate i hear you and agree with you
this community is def toxic, SDS themselves are a joke for customer service, these two factors alone combine for a real negative nancy cry/anger fest

The only part of the game that I would say comes close to me hating is...
POTM Programs - If you don't rent cards then the second half of stage 2 is
Earn PXP with this player
Good, now here is a new player
Earn PXP with that player
Good, now here is a new playerFor the first time in years I have simply stopped doing them unless there is a Cardinal player involved. I took Nootbaar with the first pack I opened for August and just stopped there.

If you can’t see how far down hill this has gone that’s kinda on you. The crappy thing is from 17-19 you could see the effort and it was almost rising even with worse gameplay. SDS tried different things, not everything worked like immortals but they were creative. They are NOT creative in anyway anymore. This game is not trending upwards. The Coop and broken mini seasons are pretty terrible. Embarrassing almost. Apart from that we just lose stuff every year while they wait for EA to come up with a new idea they can copy.
The old programs were 100x better than these Fortnite battle passes we get to complete just for logging in enough days.
