They’re the best cards in the game currently. Better or comparable cards will come with the upcoming seasons and you’ll grind for those. Could go two ways really , people could get tired of having to grind new cards and walk away , but you say it’s easy so maybe they won’t and it’ll extend the life cycle
Speaking from my own experience in the past few years; once I have a card with 120+ hitting stats I don't really care if they release another one. Or 10. I'll use 3B as an example. I used Finest Machado once it got released and there were many comparable 3B out there, buy I never even tried PS Alex Bregman for example. Simply because they are basically identical.
Now the thing here is that these cards were released late in the cycle. But now this issue exists early on. What made it so great to wait and grind for those 99 cards is that you had to use the lower cards for a good while, and then the jump to those really good cards was quite significant. Now that saturated feeling from the late game cycle where everyone and their momma has a 99 with insane attributes is already present at launch. I can definitely see OPs point.

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.
I guess we’ll see how long that interest lasts. I just don’t see what’s going to keep people motivated to grind.
You don't see whats gonna keep YOU motivated to grind. Your views more than likely arent shared by the majority though. If you're bored already, go find something else to play.
Well there is some merit to his thoughts, there is a reason why 'leveling up' is popular in gaming in general. Starting the game with 90s-99s really takes the build-up away. I know they are trying something different, but the build-up/level up of your team is much more rewarding
But you still have to "level up" and play with lesser cards to unlock the better ones. Its not like we're getting full 99 squads just for logging into the game. We have to grind with those TA henchmen to get to the captain cards and the charisma series. Even the team rewards for completing the LS are low diamonds.
Since Friday, ive finished the WBC program and all the TA conquests....my team overall is still a 92. I get it...there are people that drop real cash on the game to buy every card imaginable...and those are the people that will be gone by season 2 while most of us are happy with our 92-93 team and ready to grind for more.
My point is: why are you bothering grinding with henchmen for 92 overall captain cards when you got a full team of 90s, 95s and 97s for playing a few hours of the WBC program? You don’t think there will be another program like that in a week or two with 95s, 97s and 99s? I understand what you’re saying, but personally I think it’s too easy. The way I enjoy the game is putting in the work and getting rewarded with something that genuinely improves my team.
Those 92 overall captains are required for the Set 1 collection (99 Babe Ruth, 99 Chipper and 99 Pedro). For most of the people that play this game, its about the big picture....not just putting together a "good enough" team day 1 and never changing it.

The new cards in season 3 etc -
Weekly Wonder was a breeze... did the Moments and then played one 9 inning CPU game... got the win and the hits which was enough to complete the program... then won my first two Mini-Seasons games on Lefty Loosey... I think that's the Mini-Season that I went into... I wonder how long/short this program will be each week as this first one you only needed to get 7 of the 8 available program stars to complete.

99's with 125's in 20 stats ruin the game they dont make it better and haveing them on day 1 is just going the lazy 2k rout. all players have flaws and i wish the cards that were made showed that and instead of trying to make the gameplay extra hard for no good reason just focus on true stats on players not what mini game i need to play to pitch or throw or hit

96-99 future stars already being released tomorrow...

I would say that players that only focus on numbered attributes are likely in the minority. Casuals run all video games , and casuals will target Overall , Names and Teams long before they’ll inspect the card and see if it’s actually usable at a highly competitive level.
I play every year , I don’t play much online due to having two cateracts and being color blind. I enjoy the names , I enjoy the childhood hero’s and learning about the future players and current ones I don’t already know. While I might be in the minority disability wise , I highly doubt my gaming philosophy is all that rare.
Ultimately I’m a baseball fan. As long as the game plays smooth and the competitive part is balanced I don’t see any issue. 99’s …. 88’s…. They all play the same when the counter is comparable.

Agreed. I liked the idea when it first came out because it was used for guys that were really exceptional at a certain stat. Now every card breaks 99 and if they don’t, they aren’t relevant to play with.

Totally understand this opinion. And I’m sure others feel the same. But if you’re right, and casuals only care about overalls, then what’s going to happen when they have a team full of 99s a few weeks into the year? I think that people will stop playing. And I think that’s going to happen much sooner than previous years for most people. Not everyone, obviously.

The hitting isn’t fun. Maybe to the sweats who live on the forums all day it’s rewarding I get that part. To an average or casual player it’s not fun or rewarding and they will leave sooner then later.

mate you keep repeating the same thing over and over - like a hamster on a wheel - there are many people who disagree with you here - your opinion is truly just that - and quite frankly, your opinion has no meaning to many of us on here - so you can keep repeating the same lines in different wording a thousand times over - nothing really changes except that the amount of your whining increases over time

Are you referring to online H2H or vs CPU game modes?
SDS tinkers with the Sliders in vs CPU modes (Moments, Showdown, etc.) so the grind will not be "too easy". What matters most is the quality of Hitting in RS H2H.

A lot of people aren’t going to want to grind for comparable players all year. A month from now, there’s not going to be any feeling of improving your team and I feel like that’s a big part of what makes or breaks interest in these modes.

I lose interest as soon as I have to do 65 moments to unlock a henchmen in order to grind more moments and stats for a single card. There are plenty of areas this mode could improve that’s for sure. The releasing 99’s early is not a great idea, but they want to generate revenue and what better way to do that than releasing 10+ 99’s in packs and locked behind online play that has been nothing less than infuriating since the change to 100+ attributes?.

Of course I know best. I thought that was obvious.
