I’ve been very against this change since it was announced. I get not everyone plays the way I do or enjoys DD for the same reasons I do, but I really don’t understand why this change was made.
My biggest gripe:
This ruins Theme Teams. Which is ironic in a year where they introduce Captains to try to help TTs. You’re forced to leave key players out of your lineup or use an inferior version of that player because they are in an unusable set. There will be no way to make the best possible TT come July. I know I’m in the minority here but I use a TT all year in Ranked and this is a massive blow to the way I enjoy the game. There already isn’t enough Wildcards to make this work for me.This also ruins the progression stage of DD. People already have 90+ overall teams. This is week 1 of this mode. What will there be to play for come July? You’ll already have multiple 99 overall options at every position. Pitching is really the only thing I see getting significant upgrades from what we have now. I know a lot of people love the early stages where you’re trying to piece together a lineup and have multiple gold player options that are usable. Maybe this is nostalgia talking but it really shortened the lifespan of this game in my opinion. It also greatly reduces the value of live series collections and cards. I know many of you have asked for live series cards to be more useable and this basically sped up the process of making them irrelevant. Captains make up for this a bit but in a month, you’re going to have so many better options that are Flashbacks/Legends that Captains probably won’t even meet requirements to activate.
This feels like SDS just forcing us to get the shiny new toy. They want you to collect 100+ players to get the 99s and all 100+ cards plus the 99s you unlock will be unusable in July.
Id really like to hear the reason behind making this change. People stop playing in August because SDS can’t help themselves with dropping OP cards early and refuse to give us good versions of popular players until November. Not mention having glaring issues with their game and saying it’s playing as intended… So instead of adjusting to make overall progression slower and making sure to drop more usable versions of the big name players along the way before their 99s, they drop more 99s day one. And I guess their plan is to make you keep buying the shiny new cards to keep your interest rather than fixing how their content was before.
mate i respect that you are passionate about this game and your feelings on it - but for me i am thinking polar opposite to you
i hardly play this game - i will never do all of the conquests / offline CPU stuff = because to me it is horribly boring and meaningless - a waste of life if you will - i am down with playing the Negro leagues storylines, learn about the players, get me a solid 90's team in no time - play on ranked and events whenever i wish - that is it
for guys like me, who have played mind you since 2003 the show - this is far better than previous years when you had to be a nerd dork with no life grinding away until the end of year - only to .... repeat that cycle again....
Im not really sure how that changes with this system. The WBC is definitely a grind like POTM or other content last year. The only difference is they gave 99s day one instead of like 92s. Team Affinity seems like more of a grind than previous years as well, except now you can’t even use the cards in 2 months. How exactly does this reduce how much you have to grind when 90% of your team is going to be useless in 2 months? If anything it seems like more of a grind than ever in order to keep up.
how i interpreted this is to never really grind for any set cards - just go for the 'core' cards and have fun with that development over time - i hear you on the 'sets' stuff i have no interest in grinding for it to disappear - yes i know about the wild card slot and that is a cool feature if you love a card from a set
If you only use Core players you’re going to be missing out on a TON of content. And I still haven’t really gotten an answer on why we need to restrict our roster to certain sets. If they want to drop 99s all year and make it so easy to get, why does SDS care which 99s I’m using? They are just fabricating reasons to have to reset your team.
If we had say, 3 Wildcards instead of 1, I’d have a lot less issue with this but for people who like to use certain players they like rather than just whoever is good and easy to get.. this sucks.
i hear you on missing out on a lot of content - but i could care less - i never did McCutchen / Brett last year - all of that collection stuff beyond the Randy card - no thank you - there is plenty of cards already here to keep me entertained

Ok cool. Well if you could care less and barely even play this game. Im not sure why you’re even on this forum, let alone, bashing people for having an opinion or play style that’s different from yours.

you are not understanding me clearly here - i have played this game for just shy of 20 years - much longer than you i am sure - i just don't feel the need to obtain every single card and nerd out like you on the collections / wanting to do things YOUR WAY - who cares - roll with the tide or make a game that is better yourself - your entitlement thinking that "your way is the best way" is laughable at best

I think you’re underestimating the cards we will get during season 2 and season 3. I imagine there will be equally great if not better cards to supplement. Also, this really only applies to RS. There are a large percentage of players who wouldn’t touch that mode if it could save humanity.
Obviously we are all gonna feel how we feel but it’s only day 2 of regular release and people are worrying about this.
Normally we wouldn’t get cards like the Chipper, Babe, Trout 99s until October. Instead we get them till July and then can break them out again in October. I really don’t see what people are worrying about.

you are right in that it applies to RS - and you have guys like OP crying already - we all predicted this - everyone thinks they know best but are just a random opinion on the internet

Im not really sure how that changes with this system. The WBC is definitely a grind like POTM or other content last year. The only difference is they gave 99s day one instead of like 92s. Team Affinity seems like more of a grind than previous years as well, except now you can’t even use the cards in 2 months. How exactly does this reduce how much you have to grind when 90% of your team is going to be useless in 2 months? If anything it seems like more of a grind than ever in order to keep up.
how i interpreted this is to never really grind for any set cards - just go for the 'core' cards and have fun with that development over time - i hear you on the 'sets' stuff i have no interest in grinding for it to disappear - yes i know about the wild card slot and that is a cool feature if you love a card from a set
If you only use Core players you’re going to be missing out on a TON of content. And I still haven’t really gotten an answer on why we need to restrict our roster to certain sets. If they want to drop 99s all year and make it so easy to get, why does SDS care which 99s I’m using? They are just fabricating reasons to have to reset your team.
If we had say, 3 Wildcards instead of 1, I’d have a lot less issue with this but for people who like to use certain players they like rather than just whoever is good and easy to get.. this sucks.
i hear you on missing out on a lot of content - but i could care less - i never did McCutchen / Brett last year - all of that collection stuff beyond the Randy card - no thank you - there is plenty of cards already here to keep me entertained
Ok cool. Well if you could care less and barely even play this game. Im not sure why you’re even on this forum, let alone, bashing people for having an opinion or play style that’s different from yours.
you are not understanding me clearly here - i have played this game for just shy of 20 years - much longer than you i am sure - i just don't feel the need to obtain every single card and nerd out like you on the collections / wanting to do things YOUR WAY - who cares - roll with the tide or make a game that is better yourself - your entitlement thinking that "your way is the best way" is laughable at best
Who said I have the need to get every single card? I just want to use the players I want to use. That’s it. Where is this entitlement either? I can’t post my concerns and issues I have with something without being entitled? GTFOH. You’re the one saying peoples opinions are useless.
you are just a clown mate - a big crybaby who is stomping his boots cause the game isn't made the way he wants it - go preach to an echo chamber or circle [censored] of your baseball buddies who want to agree with your drivel
No. Im just someone who posted my thoughts on something that differs from you and this is how you respond. For someone who’s played this game for “20 years” (which isn’t even possible by the way), you sure are immature.

I’ve been very against this change since it was announced. I get not everyone plays the way I do or enjoys DD for the same reasons I do, but I really don’t understand why this change was made.
My biggest gripe:
This ruins Theme Teams. Which is ironic in a year where they introduce Captains to try to help TTs. You’re forced to leave key players out of your lineup or use an inferior version of that player because they are in an unusable set. There will be no way to make the best possible TT come July. I know I’m in the minority here but I use a TT all year in Ranked and this is a massive blow to the way I enjoy the game. There already isn’t enough Wildcards to make this work for me.This also ruins the progression stage of DD. People already have 90+ overall teams. This is week 1 of this mode. What will there be to play for come July? You’ll already have multiple 99 overall options at every position. Pitching is really the only thing I see getting significant upgrades from what we have now. I know a lot of people love the early stages where you’re trying to piece together a lineup and have multiple gold player options that are usable. Maybe this is nostalgia talking but it really shortened the lifespan of this game in my opinion. It also greatly reduces the value of live series collections and cards. I know many of you have asked for live series cards to be more useable and this basically sped up the process of making them irrelevant. Captains make up for this a bit but in a month, you’re going to have so many better options that are Flashbacks/Legends that Captains probably won’t even meet requirements to activate.
This feels like SDS just forcing us to get the shiny new toy. They want you to collect 100+ players to get the 99s and all 100+ cards plus the 99s you unlock will be unusable in July.
Id really like to hear the reason behind making this change. People stop playing in August because SDS can’t help themselves with dropping OP cards early and refuse to give us good versions of popular players until November. Not mention having glaring issues with their game and saying it’s playing as intended… So instead of adjusting to make overall progression slower and making sure to drop more usable versions of the big name players along the way before their 99s, they drop more 99s day one. And I guess their plan is to make you keep buying the shiny new cards to keep your interest rather than fixing how their content was before.
mate i respect that you are passionate about this game and your feelings on it - but for me i am thinking polar opposite to you

here we go again - your projection issues - your thread is all negative nancy drivel which i don't agree with - and you have a hard time hearing that other people think your opinion is useless - go cry about it mate truly - and ill hope to see you in RS to give you a stomping

I’ve been very against this change since it was announced. I get not everyone plays the way I do or enjoys DD for the same reasons I do, but I really don’t understand why this change was made.
My biggest gripe:
This ruins Theme Teams. Which is ironic in a year where they introduce Captains to try to help TTs. You’re forced to leave key players out of your lineup or use an inferior version of that player because they are in an unusable set. There will be no way to make the best possible TT come July. I know I’m in the minority here but I use a TT all year in Ranked and this is a massive blow to the way I enjoy the game. There already isn’t enough Wildcards to make this work for me.This also ruins the progression stage of DD. People already have 90+ overall teams. This is week 1 of this mode. What will there be to play for come July? You’ll already have multiple 99 overall options at every position. Pitching is really the only thing I see getting significant upgrades from what we have now. I know a lot of people love the early stages where you’re trying to piece together a lineup and have multiple gold player options that are usable. Maybe this is nostalgia talking but it really shortened the lifespan of this game in my opinion. It also greatly reduces the value of live series collections and cards. I know many of you have asked for live series cards to be more useable and this basically sped up the process of making them irrelevant. Captains make up for this a bit but in a month, you’re going to have so many better options that are Flashbacks/Legends that Captains probably won’t even meet requirements to activate.
This feels like SDS just forcing us to get the shiny new toy. They want you to collect 100+ players to get the 99s and all 100+ cards plus the 99s you unlock will be unusable in July.
Id really like to hear the reason behind making this change. People stop playing in August because SDS can’t help themselves with dropping OP cards early and refuse to give us good versions of popular players until November. Not mention having glaring issues with their game and saying it’s playing as intended… So instead of adjusting to make overall progression slower and making sure to drop more usable versions of the big name players along the way before their 99s, they drop more 99s day one. And I guess their plan is to make you keep buying the shiny new cards to keep your interest rather than fixing how their content was before.
mate i respect that you are passionate about this game and your feelings on it - but for me i am thinking polar opposite to you
i hardly play this game - i will never do all of the conquests / offline CPU stuff = because to me it is horribly boring and meaningless - a waste of life if you will - i am down with playing the Negro leagues storylines, learn about the players, get me a solid 90's team in no time - play on ranked and events whenever i wish - that is it
for guys like me, who have played mind you since 2003 the show - this is far better than previous years when you had to be a nerd dork with no life grinding away until the end of year - only to .... repeat that cycle again....
Im not really sure how that changes with this system. The WBC is definitely a grind like POTM or other content last year. The only difference is they gave 99s day one instead of like 92s. Team Affinity seems like more of a grind than previous years as well, except now you can’t even use the cards in 2 months. How exactly does this reduce how much you have to grind when 90% of your team is going to be useless in 2 months? If anything it seems like more of a grind than ever in order to keep up.
how i interpreted this is to never really grind for any set cards - just go for the 'core' cards and have fun with that development over time - i hear you on the 'sets' stuff i have no interest in grinding for it to disappear - yes i know about the wild card slot and that is a cool feature if you love a card from a set
If you only use Core players you’re going to be missing out on a TON of content. And I still haven’t really gotten an answer on why we need to restrict our roster to certain sets. If they want to drop 99s all year and make it so easy to get, why does SDS care which 99s I’m using? They are just fabricating reasons to have to reset your team.
If we had say, 3 Wildcards instead of 1, I’d have a lot less issue with this but for people who like to use certain players they like rather than just whoever is good and easy to get.. this sucks.
i hear you on missing out on a lot of content - but i could care less - i never did McCutchen / Brett last year - all of that collection stuff beyond the Randy card - no thank you - there is plenty of cards already here to keep me entertained
Ok cool. Well if you could care less and barely even play this game. Im not sure why you’re even on this forum, let alone, bashing people for having an opinion or play style that’s different from yours.
you are not understanding me clearly here - i have played this game for just shy of 20 years - much longer than you i am sure - i just don't feel the need to obtain every single card and nerd out like you on the collections / wanting to do things YOUR WAY - who cares - roll with the tide or make a game that is better yourself - your entitlement thinking that "your way is the best way" is laughable at best
Who said I have the need to get every single card? I just want to use the players I want to use. That’s it. Where is this entitlement either? I can’t post my concerns and issues I have with something without being entitled? GTFOH. You’re the one saying peoples opinions are useless.
you are just a clown mate - a big crybaby who is stomping his boots cause the game isn't made the way he wants it - go preach to an echo chamber or circle [censored] of your baseball buddies who want to agree with your drivel
No. Im just someone who posted my thoughts on something that differs from you and this is how you respond. For someone who’s played this game for “20 years” (which isn’t even possible by the way), you sure are immature.
here we go again - your projection issues - your thread is all negative nancy drivel which i don't agree with - and you have a hard time hearing that other people think your opinion is useless - go cry about it mate truly - and ill hope to see you in RS to give you a stomping
The thread is literally titled, “rant/concerns”. What did you expect clicking on it?
I guess if I don’t bow down to SDS and everything they do I should just shut up. Cool.
im glad you finally get it - after a few back and forths - the words 'i should just shut up. cool" are floating in your head - that is the first step on the road to recovery from getting your head out of your [censored] good work mate - have a nice night over there
Glad you could add to the conversation in a mature way. Have a nice night yourself!
absolutely you are welcome for allowing me the privilege of showing you the light - just as you love to express your 'rants and concerns', i love to throw my 2 cents into the ring when i agree or disagree with a poster on this forum - its called having a thick skin - you should learn to accept that others may not think the way you do - i can't believe i even have to type that out

you should read the initial back and forth - it was you who wanted to turn the tables and show rudeness, something about "why am i on the forums" - what a dumb comment - so at that point i decided it was fair game - you get what you give in life - see ya on the baseball field

For me, it's all about the grind. My ADHD hyper-focuses on the grind to unlock cards. I play almost exclusively offline (although I may start playing 1 ranked game a day to rack up innings and unlock a card) and so far this year, they have delivered plenty of grindable content. I haven't even had a chance to start the US conquest, or finish a single division in TA. I'm loving the amount of grindable content. If I have some 95s to 99s to do that grind, I don't mind so much.

I think you’re underestimating the cards we will get during season 2 and season 3. I imagine there will be equally great if not better cards to supplement. Also, this really only applies to RS. There are a large percentage of players who wouldn’t touch that mode if it could save humanity.
Obviously we are all gonna feel how we feel but it’s only day 2 of regular release and people are worrying about this.
Normally we wouldn’t get cards like the Chipper, Babe, Trout 99s until October. Instead we get them till July and then can break them out again in October. I really don’t see what people are worrying about.
Where have they said Set 1s will be usable in October?
-
We don’t even know what is going to happen yet. Maybe u can exchange set 1 cards to build up set 2, etc.
This game has been out officially 2 days.
Gameplay wise, I love it. Except the perfect perfect outs, still….

They haven’t. I’m just assuming but of course I could be wrong. But I do believe we will have equal or better cards if not. If it’s one thing we know for sure, this season will not lack for cards or content.
But I don’t begrudge you the right to have an opinion and wish the game was a certain way. I hope it changes your mind over time so you enjoy it.

Im enjoying it so far because the gameplay has improved a lot from last year. So no matter what I’ll at least enjoy RTTS.
But even tomorrows content. I should be thrilled for a Tovar card but now I just think.. [censored] I can only use him for 2 months..
