Is Featured Program Team Affinity or separate?
-
I’m sure someone will answer…. “We’ll find out on Thursday.” And yes that is true. But I’m curious what you all think.
How will the game be structured this year in regards to a featured program, bosses and TA?
This far I haven’t heard any mention of a main program or rewards.
Option 1- The main program could be the WBC and all these cards they’re announcing but that feels like it’s own program.
Option 2- TA is the main program and they’ve just started calling it TA again. I hope that is not the case as I really liked when TA was split into 6 different programs.
Option 3- it’s like an innings program and they haven’t announced the “bosses” and will do so on Thursday.
Thoughts?

Option 4.
which is -they are doing something completely new. -
Don't think it's #2 or #3. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made a point to say that TA was "back".
Personally, I'd like a mega-grind ala 17 and 19. Of course, I'm one of the weirdos that like the Immortal setup of 18, so what do I know?

I think TA is it's own program as is the WBC stuff.
I think the feature programs return but will be structured very differently in the way you complete them. They have been very mum on the topic so kinda think the feature program is their big reveal
-
It was a longer grind for sure, but I hope they go back to the individual team structure (2020) as opposed to it being condensed into divisions (2021). The more available offline content the better and that older format always ensured you had something to work on.
-
Im going with option 3. A separate "innings program". Remember they did show us the loop for additional rewards after completing it.I feel like its a separate reward path with its own bosses/henchmen

Pretty sure they already announced feature program setup again. It’s where they debuted the infinite awards press your luck thing.

Do you know how many stubs I made flipping hats and jerseys that year?

They announced that part but we don’t know what the bosses or rewards are. They could be the WBC cards, the TA cards or something totally separate. I believe all they showed was the mechanism at the end to know it’s a loop.

Maybe the 99 Trea and 99 Roki are the Program rewards.

Whatever team affinity is, I hope we get the opportunity to earn all the cards involved instead of 2/5 of them like last year. That was such a cash grab. While most players will flip cards to get the ones they want, there are others that will buy stubs to complete those team collections like faces of the franchise.
-
Last years Team Affinity (or lack there off) was no fun. The argument that the community found TA to be too much when added to the main program and player programs was total BS. They limited the number of cards earned in order to earn more $ from consumers. Now that theme teams are a thing, I would like to see the divisions-based team affinity setup.

@p0pachery_MLBTS @T00MuchHam_XBL how was it a cash grab? I completed every collection and didn't have to buy any stubs?
Granted I had to grind my [censored] off; but if you played it correctly you could get to the rewards fast enough that if you sold your pick and waited until the end of the program you could just buy the remaining cards.

Imagine how loud the cries of "CASH GRAB!" would be if we still had the ticket system...

They reduced the number of cards collected through the program that the cards are connected to. You and I both didn't spend money to buy the cards, others certainly did. I don't need the full experience of the cash crab to recognize its there.
DD is a far better collection game compared to it's competitors. That's doesn't mean it shouldn't be criticized. And with that, I'm excited for tomorrow's stream and setting up my team tomorrow night. Crossing my fingers for some good day 1 pulls.

Do you think Trout is still the big pull or is it Ohtani or Judge this year?

I think the pull probability rate is tied to the overall, but by how much is unknown. For example, the mathematical odds of pulling an 85-89 overall are probably the same, but once you cross that 90+ threshold that percentage is decreased obviously making those cards rarer pulls. Not sure if 95+ is an even more elusive tier than 90-94 as that would be a factor in making Ohtani/Judge more sought after than Trout.

Ohtani will be the big pull this year. Trout and Judge around the same price. Alot of Trouts value wasn't just that he was the highest overall live series card, but also he was usually a top outfield option until May or June. Judge was never going to be that way because anyone willing to do the live series early knows how Judge cards play, which is not good because of his height for most. Ohtani can be used for his full potential this year. He will be 400k, Trout and Judge 150-200, Degrom and the rest of the 90+ 100-150. Just my thoughts
