    If the better player has a team of 97’s - He will beat the guy with 99’s. This isn’t Madden.

    Please. This game has removed any and all skill gap. That's why all you casuals are in full shill mode.

    I seem to be doing the same as I always do at the game so there must be some sort of skill gap 🤷🏽‍♂️

    THIS GAME!? Lmao since ‘18!

    Maybe you just aren’t that good? There wasn’t really much of a skill gap in 17 either, same with 16. If we’re saying that there isn’t one now.. Maybe you’re just nostalgia popping because you’re mad..

    My friend, if you’re this upset you need to stop playing and stop coming to a forum about the game. It’s only making things worse for you mentally. Also you’ve only played 3 ranked games and only hit .390 in those 3 games on veteran, if you’re going to be complaining about a skill gap you probably should have been hitting .5-600 like the rest of us on veteran..

    I would also say, if you feel like the game is pay to win why not play BR where everyone has the same amount of diamonds, golds etc?

    You spend alot of time talking about records and blaming peoples skill for their disappointment in your favorite game. I think that makes you a fanboy.

    This isn’t my favourite game, it’s a good baseball game that’s better than past versions, still with flaws but it’s not a bad game.

    When you say there’s no skill gap you don’t expect people to comment on your skill? Or lack thereof?

    While I don't fully agree with the phrase "Pay To Win" as I believe there is still a skill gap, I do think this year has the most aggressive monetization the game has ever employed. That is tied directly to their decision to have seasons and sets.

    I'll just use the Cardinals as an example.

    Adam Wainwright 100K
    Jordan Walker 135K
    Jim Edmunds 70K

    3 players for 300K that can't be used for any meaningful content past July 7th. I can only assume we'll have even more before the end of season 1 and then more in season 2 and 3.

    For me to have the best Cardinals theme team all year long it is going to cost me far more stubs, by a large margin, than it ever has in the past. I assume at some point down the line I will need to pay for a different 99 overall card for all three players plus I am sure there will be multiple Musial's, multiple Ozzie Smith cards or Lou Brock cards, etc

    It really does feel like I am just paying to rent these players for several months at a time. I am not a fan.

    Don't forget all these stubs will have to go to these rental cards and not the live series collection. I don't mind spending 250k on Trout, but when it's spend 250k on Trout or spend 100k on tucker, 40k on Bagwell, 40k on hunter brown, and 80 k on the next astro... all for them to be rendered useless in July... it seems redundant.

    I want the Sosa and mark cards, but when everytime I turn on my game I'm being met with a new 99 I can't afford I lose interest.

    I still don't understand how you all think these Set 1 cards will become useless come July?

    For online play? Yes.

    For offline play? Probably not.

    But let's say this: if they released cards like they did on the past; wouldn't most of the Silvers, Golds, and low Diamonds s be useless, to some people, when they drop higher rated cards at that time?

    For some, I don't think you are worried about cards becoming useless, I think you're upset because you can't beat up on lesser qualified players.

    Should this game have a skill gap? Depends on what mode.

    And like others have said; it's not the cards, it's the player.

    Am I upset that by the time I get Awards Pedro or Finest Chipper; I won't be able to use them online? No. Because I'm not worried about online play.

    And beside chances are most of the earlier Set/Season cards, minus the ones in the WBC Program, will x he useful late in the games cycle.

    They won't make you collect 200+ cards only to have them mean nothing later in the game's cycle.

    While I don't fully agree with the phrase "Pay To Win" as I believe there is still a skill gap, I do think this year has the most aggressive monetization the game has ever employed. That is tied directly to their decision to have seasons and sets.

    I'll just use the Cardinals as an example.

    Adam Wainwright 100K
    Jordan Walker 135K
    Jim Edmunds 70K

    3 players for 300K that can't be used for any meaningful content past July 7th. I can only assume we'll have even more before the end of season 1 and then more in season 2 and 3.

    For me to have the best Cardinals theme team all year long it is going to cost me far more stubs, by a large margin, than it ever has in the past. I assume at some point down the line I will need to pay for a different 99 overall card for all three players plus I am sure there will be multiple Musial's, multiple Ozzie Smith cards or Lou Brock cards, etc

    It really does feel like I am just paying to rent these players for several months at a time. I am not a fan.

    Don't forget all these stubs will have to go to these rental cards and not the live series collection. I don't mind spending 250k on Trout, but when it's spend 250k on Trout or spend 100k on tucker, 40k on Bagwell, 40k on hunter brown, and 80 k on the next astro... all for them to be rendered useless in July... it seems redundant.

    I want the Sosa and mark cards, but when everytime I turn on my game I'm being met with a new 99 I can't afford I lose interest.

    Oh, I know. I have purchased Edmonds and Walker, who I got for 85K before his card jumped up to the current 135K. The Walker purchase put me down to next to nothing on the stubs front.

    I have built back up to 50K in stubs after pulling and selling Buxton and McClanahan and doing the programs and conquest maps.

    Wainwright is going to 100K. Arenado Live is going for 90K. Goldschmidt Live for 89K. I need the latter two for the team collection so that I can get Musial and use his captain ability. So that is 280K total that I still need but I am sure some new card will be released before I can accumulate that total.

    But don't worry those 90 overall live series will be usable for the whole year!!! Which means nothing considering they are dumping 99s on us every week. Cheers bud! I gooe you last past may!
