but if it goes bad I'm selling my ps5 and becoming a man finally
By this definition, I will NEVER be a man.

Folks … „23 is the same as 22“ but then complain about new ideas to make (at least DD) be different (or better?).
Here are my thoughts:
- We always had 99s at Day 1
- Nobody said, we will have dozens of 99 at Day 1. I suppose we gotta grind over weeks so that an average amount of people will have some and few all/few … That was also the Case on the mentioned-live-series-99s
- 99 is not end-game-99 (Griffey in 22, remember
?) - I really like those sets, because it was always a constant grind for a good card … only to have it useless a few days after, because a new headliner/set would come out. I hope, we have a steadier baseline of a great cards per set
- Last but not least (at least this thread is no instagram/youtube with the constant „This is a L“ :)): They designed the game, they made DD great. Change is a good thing !!!! (and tbh: They will not change it, the game is ready). Let‘s embrace it
-
To your first point, yes there have always been three 99s technically on day one if you wanted to break the bank. I'm paraphrasing, but around the 1:25 mark Jazz says "so day one 99 overall TEAM?" and the guys says "you gotta work for it but absolutely you can on day one".
That's a big change if true.
-
My fear is that this moves SDS more towards the pay to win models every other ultimate team modes have. IF the best cards in a new set are only grindable (ie not in packs or other stub walls), then it might work. But if this is just a way to get more micro transactions, it will be a huge fail (think whales with day 1 LS + set 1 “bosses” too).
-
So who is worried that these Set 1,2,3 cards will be only in packs?

True. But... there are 99's and then there are NINETY-NINES. I was goofing around with some Monthly Awards 99's and they're not NINETY-NINES.
Clear as mud? Yes.

My fear is the part in the video where they say that you need to play with players in that "series".
I stopped doing POTM programs last year because I got tired of playing with players I did not care about while the ones I wanted to use instead got little playing time.

The Show community : WE WANT CHANGES!!! ITS THE SAME GAME EVERY YEAR!!
SDS does something new
The Show community : NOT THOSE CHANGES!!! HUGE L!!!

You won't be able to use the 99s anytime you want... that is the key to all of this. Despite the amount of cards that MLB The Show releases they are always looked at as being subpar compared to cards released for Madden and NBA 2K... having 99s day one is going to be a game changer. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out throughout the games cycle and looking forward to more information on Thursday to get clarification on when these cards will be able to be used.
-
I already decided I'm not buying this game, but if there was still doubt than this would've done it for me. Locking content in ranked?? Thats what restricted events are for. Huge L. Imagine grinding or paying your way too a card you really want and then next season you can't use him in ranked because "EvEn ThE pLaYiNg FiEld".
-
I do hope this isn't a cash grab, as this is definitely not modeled after EA or 2K. Heck NBA 2K23 just got their first two 99s last week almost 6 months after release, so this approach is unprecedented. SDS has always been far more generous with being able to get good cards by comparison to Madden and 2K and I have faith that will continue.
Definitely looking forward to more details though.
-
Man, I saw this stream and thought…everyone is gonna be excited. No more copy and paste. I forgot where I was haha. Just give it a chance gents.
-
We all know not all 99s are equal, so honestly I bet this won't be as big of a deal as it sounds.
I agree this explanation was not great, this week's stream should clear it up.

They want to make sure little billy, jonny and susie have a fair shot in ranked in season 3 so they reset all cards.
They probably saw ranked as too much of a punishment for people who get the game late in the cycle?
You guys are trolls. They are doing this for money. It is the reason for everything they do.

Awesome post
Yesterday I commented on a youtube post regards to the announced DD-feature today that was: „Way not to listen to the community!“
I asked: „What did the community want? They wanted Jeter, they got it. What else did they want?“
Two answers followed:
- „Team Affinity“
- „The fact of not making a god squad that could last the whole year in a weak.
Number 1 is reasonable, although out of context, because they talked about DD-structures, not content
My answer to 2 : „So it is: We did not ask for anything we do not like when you change it“But your post nailed it. „The community“ is constantly complaining. Is that the way we go or should go ?!?!? Giving feedback is different from „constant and complaints“. Sometimes I ask myself if the video game hobby is still the right thing for those people or maybe the do not realise, that the negativism has gotten out of control
P.S. I am not native english speaking, so excuse the maybe weird sentences

Doing it for earning money is imo a legit motivation. You do it, I do it. The fact that their product is a hobby for us does not change anything.
But: They gotta do a product, we like. If they are doing a bad job, fewer are going to buy.
If I look correctly about sales in the last few years. The numbers have gone up

Not the most accurate way of determining the quality of a product. The game released on two addition consoles over the past two year -- a reason for revenue to go up.
Madden is terrible and each year a record sales number is hit.
I'm waiting to see whats presented in today's stream. The in game language doesn't do a good job of selling the new feature.

Ranked was getting stale so I’m kinda pumped for this

I think I saw something about theme teams? Not a huge fan of DD prefer online rated but I have fun trying to win with my Phillies theme team. I wonder what changes they made to it.
