Totally understand why people wanna wait. For me, I’m a baseball fan and this has become part of my experience of a given season. It’s a lot like fantasy baseball where I pay more attention to teams and players I’d normally not care about too much. For example- I will be really interested to see how Jazz performs this year among many others. How will Matt Carpenter do in SD so I can get a great monthly card for him, who will be this years Julio Rodriguez?
I love predicting card releases based on on-field performances, as well as relevant storylines like Field of Dreams, Players being supercharged (great edition) or the All Star game. Yes I wish they’d change things up with content and improve gameplay. It may feel like a copy and paste to many, but for me, it’s a companion item to the baseball season. Plus, there’s always a chance Bryan Reynolds will get traded and I wouldn’t wanna miss the inevitable @arvcpa_MLBTS emotional meltdown. Just kidding bud, Go Bucs!
So, in short- I’ll buy the captains edition preorder and just send them my credit card hahaha.
Edit: thanks @TEXAS10PT_PSN for reminding me Chris Carpenter retired haha

I won't be buying this year. They've destroyed what was once a great baseball game.
Ranked Seasons is now irrelevant and everyone gets attributes that were once reserved for Babe Ruth and the other MLB greats.
Topps Now cards have diminished what attributes mean. Add in the 125 power/contact and most pitchers getting 102 MPH sinkers and fastballs and now the name on the card doesn't matter.
Add in all the missions, moments and Showdowns that literally screw you on purpose and this game mode has turned into a circus.
Lastly the gameplay has turned abysmal and they won't even address it. Game plays great out of the box and then they have to tune it so Lil Billy in the back of moms minivan on his Nintendo Switch and it's 4 inch screen can compete with the big boys on their consoles. Makes zero sense.

I’ve been burned twice by poor servers on opening weekend, so I’ll just keep my days this year
I will log in at midnight, open all my packs, sell everything, then wait until the next afternoon to see what problems are popping up.
Why sell everything? Especially if you're lucky enough to pull an LS Diamond before they skyrocket.
I could see selling any special cards as they'll eventually be outdated and available on done the road when they're handed out like candy.
But any LS cards, I would think, should be a keep so you can get the collection completed faster.
I'll probably buy it the night before and may even buy $200 worth of stubs to use in bundles. I think pre-release weekend would be the only time to buy packs.
Any special preorder diamonds, if there are any as it seems they're cutting down on those, may be sold or I may hold them until the first mega collection and sell then.

Nope waiting for 70% off then I’ll get it. It’s just a copy and paste with a roster update. Staying away until they do a complete overhaul and go full next Gen. I’ve put in over 2000 hours each of the last 4 years. I’m at home all day.
Which one is it? Buying when it's 70% off or waiting until they do a complete overhaul?

You're right - I shouldn't have said "everything". There are a handful of cards that go nuts the first night, and I'll sell those if prices go crazy.

Digital deluxe even though no selectable uniforms for online rated or co-op
The digital deluxe version shows "1 Special Uniform Choice Pack", is that different than the other versions?
I think the special uniforms are the ones created by the King whoever artist they had in the stream. He created three of them.

I’m requesting that we put a moratorium on the term Little Billy this year. It’s worn out and do any of us really care what the kids are doing with their parents credit cards? Doesn’t affect me in the slightest. @CCARR77_PSN, I get that you hate this game. I don’t jump on people who come in here to vent, that’s what this place is for. But no more little Billy. How about spoiled Steven or privileged Peter?

Lil Billy isn't about credit cards. It has do with the direction this game is headed. Our mascot is an old man muppet and there is now anime cartoons in a MLB video game.
A kid playing on a Nintendo Switch shouldn't stand a chance against somebody playing on a PS5 or XBOX, yet they've made it to where it doesn't matter.
They've dumbed down this game so much it isn't even funny.
I just learned in game that Hunter Renroe has diamond defense and 99 arm....SINCE WHEN?

That's not going big. That's doing the wrong thing. Buy stubs if you're planning on spending $200.

Uhmmm...I'm nearly 62 and I sometimes play MLBTS on my Switch. But then, my wife has always said that I am her youngest child...I don't think I'll ever grow up, so maybe this sentence still stands

Nobody on a Switch should be able to compete against a console and a monitor. Don't take it personal.

to my knowledge they are only putting one jersey in the game so I don't think they'll do a "Choice" pack for that... I'm thinking it'll be Diamond Uniforms similar to what we have in 22 and you essentially get one to start the game off with.

Can’t choose what uniform to wear in that modeShameful it’s 2023 SDS need to get with the times no excuses why uniforms shouldn’t be selectable. If it’s good enough to be selectable in DD online rated should have the option also.
In DD you select them when you go to edit your team info and appearance... not sure why you can't select uniforms online like you would if your opponent was on the same console as you but could be a way to prevent lag (I don't know).

Heh...I didn't. I was trying to be funny. I'm more successful at morbid humor though.

Prevent lag huh? Uniforms are selectable in online leagues with regular teams which makes no sense as to why we can’t in online rated
-
As a rule, any post by @arvcpa_MLBTS must stay somewhat civil. I admit I geek out because I’m still Fairly new to the game and it’s just another thing to get me excited about the season. It’s number 2 behind watching Arenado and Goldy build Hall of Fame careers :).
For those that hate the game…. I’m not begrudging you your right to gripe. But other than the gameplay, what would you improve? What would you like to see in DD specifically that would make this a better game? @raesONE-_PSN has definitely voiced his frustrations with the game but always provides thorough feedback as to how it could improve. His legendary post of a few years ago speaks for itself. So I’m curious what you guys wanna see so it doesn’t feel like a copy and paste.
-
You guys need to send a message and say the cut and paste mediocre upgrades isn’t worth your money. I never pre order because we all know the first month is a train wreck and beyond frustrating. I’m starting to think some of y’all enjoy the chaos.
