Forcing people to use inferior cards isn’t a recipe for success. And advocating for fewer updates/less content seems … odd?!?
Oh really? Aren't they already forcing you to use "inferior cards" in BR?
BR != Ranked.
Probabally the most played competive mode?
I would guess Ranked is much more played than BR (the amount of WS rewards floating out there vs. the amount of Flawless rewards would seem to back that up, but I'm not a DEV and I don't have access to the back-end metrics, so we're both only guessing.
I never advocated for less content, i said less updates allowing Flashback n Legends being the cards you get in standard packs. Like the 85-88 that turn out to be irrelavant by AS break.
Not everyone is a baseball nerd who wants to use the Orioles 4th starter and the A's backup catcher. They want to use the jacked-up versions of their favorite players both past and present. The only thing SDS can do is to parcel out those cards over the season and (other than 18), they've done a reasonably good job.
I am well aware of what BR is and how i referred to it.
You are completely missing my point. And then trying to spin it into something else. Orioles 4th starter wtf are you talking about?
He is referencing the fact that from the sounds of it according to your idea of someone wants to complete the LS collection they have to grind with every single LS card. If I’m reading your post wrong let me know but that’s what I gathered from it too and in my opinion no thank you
Yes, you are reading it wrong. The idea i am suggesting is more of a long term collection idea. I will give a few hypotheticals to maybe clear it up. Again this is a "Rough draft suggestion".
So i suggested each card start 2 levels below what it was it's previous year. Those levels could be determined in different ways. One could be based off of tiers within a level. Like 85-88 diamond,89-93 is another tier,94-99 another tier however community agrees or developers were to implement.
Other level could be the simpler if they were a diamond previous year then they start off as a silver in new year but level of silver would factor into the level of diamond they were previously.
So for instance based off first example, if a LS card was a 95 diamond at final roster update previous year, but was determined to be a 92 diamond at start of the next version of game due to 3 year avg. Therefore due to my suggestion said card would start off as 83-84 gold.
Now with the once a month update this would allow the owner of said card to either use said card and upgrade it til it got to 92 diamond then that player is now lockable in the LS at that point. Once player is locked future roster update does not effect already locked cards. However if you are the type of person watching this player closely and you don't think it will maintain that 92 status and you think it might fall to 88 then you upgrade it to 88 and wait for update.
As far as how they are upgraded i feel like it could work similar to how pxp works only you are upgrading the overall of the card instead of a one time pxp attribute boost. So essentially still have pxp 1-5 like it is now, but also a pxp boost to overall. I will call this "OXP" (overall experience points)
This will allow for more market movement of LS cards throughout year until final roster update where prices for cards should reach highest cost and all levels locked for LS collection. Allowing the LS collection to not be collected within first few weeks of game.
Three other things to go along with that also to put a Maximum price of 150k on ALL LS cards ONLY and no minimum. And final collection rewards not unlocked until week of final roster Update making every TeamReward and Player, Div and League 99 Overalls of any card type in Flashback n Legend style. Once card is locked into collection overall can no longer progress. So if you lock it in as a 92 and it gets up to 95 ovr you are still only gonna have a player with 92 ovr attributes due to being locked in. So you might face same player somebody waited to lock in when it reached 95 perhaps.
As far as BR goes for the draft it will be based off ovr of the collection value not the upgraded value of player owned version. But use of card would still work toward owned version for use outside of BR.
So this would basically make final roster update uncollected comons all the way to Diamonds possibly worth up to 150 k max each. (max price negotiable 150 k migh be to high) just an example to try to make point.

My wheels are always turning in regards to how this game could be different. Sometimes my ideas are absolute garbage but sometimes they are a gem.
Have you ever considered making live series cards starting out as commons or two levels lower than previous year, at start of year. And based off of how well you do with them is how they progress. But at the same time the said card would have a ceiling based off of roster updates. When that ceiling is reached then it is collectible. Allowing premium type cards to be rolled out into packs?
For instance lets say i had Aaron Judge started off at highest silver and i progressed him to a 95 Diamond but it was only a 92 required to save him into LS Collection. Once i reached 92 i could choose to collect him. Or maybe he is having a bad year and his overall drops to an 84 and i have progressed him to 83 gold at that point, now only one more level then i can save him b/c roster update is now an 84.
This in turn would make it take longer for people to get the LS collection done so the LS cards would be more useful over time and not have LS Collections done on day 2 of games release. Or could also allow the LS Rewards not be revealed until a later date making competitive gameplay more balanced. This would also give staff more time to do other things and only doing roster update once a month?
Open for more discussion, just a brainstorm.
As someone who isn't a Legend level player, I don't like the suggestion about the live cards because it handicaps anyone who doesn't play at a high level. That's not fair at all.

We will say this is one of your garbage ideas
-
So your idea is to make LS cards useless and worthless until the last month of the year, at which point they’ll STILL be worthless because we’ll be well into the parade of 99s at that point.

I can counter that. SUPERCHARGE EVERY LS CARD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE GAME CYCLE STARTING NOVEMBER 1.
Problem solved. That's why I'm here on the forums. To provide the big ideas.

Actually it doesn't handicap b/c it's based on whether you progress it or not and also based on the updates.And you are still getting better players through program and packs that are better than most LS cards already the way it is now.

Nah dude, you are just bad at explaining because even after your second explanation it still sounds like you have to use every single live series card in order to get the collection done the way you are suggesting.

No it doesn't read it again.
You consider a 48 common card as one you would have to play to lock it in? Under my explanation? -
Its about the dollar. End of brain storm.

And if you don't progress, then what? The way I read it you're being penalized for not being a better player. There's already enough of that in the rewards for BR and Events that lowered skilled players have a tough time getting in the first place.

That's correct! If initial LS card Team rosters come out and it's the same value as the common from year before no progression is neccasary right? You just lock it into collection. So therefore you "Do Not" have to progress every live series card. Which is how you said you interpeted it.

Ok, No penalization for being a worse player that is not even a factor. B/c you can progress your card vs CPU if not comfortable using in H2H. This idea is so we don't see LS collections done within first 2 weeks of game launch.
Ex: When day 1 the game comes out and you have all the Team LS cards to collect to get LS collection rewards right? Ok and Aaron Judge finished with 3 year avg as a 95 ok, Well now on Day 1 of LS collections your Aaron Judge would have to be progressed to a 95 "If" you wanted to lock him in right away.
Now based off of this scenario Aaron Judge pulled out of pack would fall into the 88-89 category ok. Now it is up to player/owner of that card to progress it now to lock it in "OR" do you want to take a chance on him falling lower than than required 95 ovr requirement?
So this is basically leaving it up to you to decide when you want to lock it in and how close to that 95 do you want to progress him. While keeping monthly roster and that players trending LS play into factor.

I think just based off of how confusing the explanation it is it’s a bad idea. Then once you start to understand it then it gets worse.

Just accept it’s a bad idea dude. Seems like no one likes your idea. Nothing wrong with that, people come up with bad ideas all the time. You have to learn when to give up on or adjust your idea.

What about the case where it's still a common, but it's "progressed" from a 59 to a 64?
What about the case where it's "progressed" from a 63 to a 66?
What about rookies just starting out where no progression is possible?
What about cases like Cabrera where the lowered OVR is justified by age and decline of skills?
Your plan is simply unworkable and will only infuriate the user base, which I'm pretty sure is the opposite of what SDS is going for.

So i tell you ty and have a nice day and you respond with a very condasceding remark? In that case i'm holding up my middle finger and saying something that rhymes with cluck shoe. Also another thing, the title says "Dear San Diego Studios" not dear peanut gallery that thinks thier sh it don't stink. But next time i title it "Dear Kovs88" then by all means have at it but until then show a lil phucking respect you little peckerwood!!!
