Storyline Reward Cards Will Be 99s At Launch
-
I think the previews today pretty much confirm what I suspected since they made the announcement about “day 1 99s”, that the storylines will each lead to a 99 version of their respective negro league player. There is now way SDS spent as much time on promoting the negro league incorporation into MLB the Show and are going to have those cards be instantly overshadowed by the WBC cards.
Props to SDS on turning the very stale ultimate team mode (across all games) model on its head.

The twitter previews from yesterday showing the WBC cards (both program and packs). Hard to see them giving us WBC 97-99s and then making the storyline cards (that have been hyped forever now) a 92.

I could see Storylines take a similar route as Immortals where you have to use the lower-tier cards in order to eventually earn a 99. That plays right into their desire to bring a season-long focus on these players and their accomplishments and not just have it be a couple of moments to get through in a single sitting.

Great point. I agree.
This way it isn't just some mode people plow through in a weekend and forget about. Going to have to grind for the best version of each one, but the final card will probably be insanely good. Satchel with outlier on his outlier.

Except they said the storylines weren’t DD (so no pxp or other DD missions). Perhaps they could have separate DD “other programs” for each player once you earned the storyline card, but I still think base on the juiced WBC cards they’ve previewed already these are going to be 99s.
Also, keep in mind that each storyline will have roughly 9 videos to watch in addition to the moments and we aren’t average players (in terms of hours/day of interaction). I imagine they will be basing all these grinds (storylines, WBC, etc) on the amount of hours per day the average customer plays and not on us.
