Season 3 doesn’t start for 4 months. The majority of people won’t last that long. It will keeps things fresh for diehards. But I don’t see how this game holds the interest of the majority of people. Maybe I’ll be wrong. But I’m already bored and usually I don’t start feeling like this until month 2-3.
I expected this to happen when they introduced it (insert LeBron meme).

Does anyone actually like how easy they’ve made it to get all the best players in the game? Am I the only one that actually enjoyed having to put some effort in to build my team? I played for one hour and had a full team of 90s... what’s the motivation to keep playing? I don’t see how this game lasts. 3 days in and I’m already bored. I can’t be the only one.
Basically the way I see it, instead of one long slow grind where we finally get the cards we want and half the people have stopped playing, the game will be 6 shorter cycles. Get that Chipper card and use him online all you want, come July you can’t use that specific card. Meanwhile you can work on the next card to go in his place. Personally, I think it’s a great move and most of the people I know who didn’t want the game this year are now playing and enjoying it.

Same. But I was hopeful they would come up with something interesting. Now it’s just the same game as every other year fast forwarded a few months when every card is a 99. My favourite part of the game is when shitty cards are relevant at the beginning of the year. And getting a diamond is actually exciting.

I guess we’ll see how long that interest lasts. I just don’t see what’s going to keep people motivated to grind.

Well to each their own. I play a few hours a day and have so much content and cards I haven’t touched, this will keep me busy and entertained for months. Last year I ran out of content after a week and was playing the mystery map over and over. I’ll take this model every day of the week.

The issue last year was they got rid of team affinity for some reason. It’s the same game this year just with team affinity added back in. Having the easily attainable 97 rewards just makes every other reward less excited. Just my opinion though.

I do get what you’re saying and I’m sure there will be people who decide they have the team they want early on. To me, the addition of the captains is a cool twist, the variance of Mini Seasons and the additions they made there, the storylines addition and keep in mind the game has been out less than a week. 1 day for regular release. Who know what is in store?
But I appreciate a good debate and you aren’t just arguing like some people do so while I hope you are wrong, I do see your points.

I hope I’m wrong too. I love the game. But I’m disappointed that I think it’s going in the wrong direction.

Personally I would have preferred they went in the completely opposite direction. Cap out the rewards at 85s to start. That would make silvers, golds, and live series players actually have a purpose other than for collections (they might as well be hats or jerseys). And when you got that first diamond, it would feel like an accomplishment. If you pulled a diamond, it would feel like a huge win. Call me crazy, but it seems like that would be a fun game.

The community has been quite vocal about how SDS has capped out rewards early on and nerf what should be good cards (April POTMs for example) just to meet these requirements. SDS has listened to the community, thought outside the box when it comes to how to improve on the fantasy card-collecting type of modes of sport games. We understand that you may not like it, but the majority of the community asked SDS to come up with something different and they did.

Not sure if you can speak on behalf of the community nor that the "majority of the community asked them to". Some will like it, some won't.

All I’m saying is I think the way the game is currently structured will have no longevity. And a very small percentage of people playing in April will be playing in May and June. That is a poor business model. That is my opinion and maybe I’ll be wrong. Hopefully I’ll be wrong... but I doubt it.

I'm not speaking on behalf of the community, the community has been speaking for itself over the past several years.

This is a ridiculous comment. Of course you’re speaking for the community. That’s literally exactly what you did. Which is fine, but own it.

You are truly stubborn in your ways, my friend. You came to wrong place to get your confirmation bias needs here! All you have to do is check out the history of this community forum, all the other community forums on this game, and the history of social media articles on this game to find out the majority voice about this topic. Either you learn to enjoy the game or not is your choice. I am willing to bet your prediction of this game not lasting is not going to pan out like you think. I wish you happiness in life, my friend, and maybe you should go enjoy something other than this video game in order to find that happiness!

I noted that I prefer silvers and golds early, too many 99s around endgame. Every hitter is OP, almost like a cheat code. Game is best early, until this year as they give out 99s on day 1. Weak

I for one have bookmarked this thread because it will be fun to come back to this after a few months.

I just did the same.

My TA mini seasons lineup
Lf-. CH Rickey
Cf- AS Hunter
SS- AS Story
RF-Cpt Harper
1B- CH Hoskins
3B- AS Bryant
DH- TA JD Martinez
C- CPT JT
2B- AS Taylor
and my best hitters so far are Bryant and Taylor,both gold's, but with the tier 3 CPT boost from Harper....
Pitching- CPT Kershaw and all LS dodger pitchers. ATM I am 7-0 in my run.
with captains silvers and golds can play as good or sometimes better than diamonds. I think the flexibility of lineups and various captains making many many more cards good it will be fresh and exciting for many people for a very long time. I was skeptical at first but it looks like SDS really nailed it this year.
