Just curious what are they paying for?
Not much, but hey, 99’s at launch!!!!
I feel like as someone else mentioned 100% more like use your money to get these players bc they’re gone quick (40 days or whatever) but pay to win imo is like years previousb where’s most ppl team atm was 6-7 team affinity cards rated 88 like niko goodrum or Yordan Alvarez, Luis Castillo etc, then rest combo of live diamonds you pulled or headliner. With that you could match up against those that did the live series through paying and that gap was massive. The 99s this year aren’t great of course but your team of 99 wbc players is much closer than previous?

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.
He's blowing smoke anyways... I will play Madden against anybody here that thinks a 99 team is an easy win over an inferior team. You go into MUT H2H with a 99 team and play a better player with a 95 team... you will lose. Seriously anybody wants to talk how Madden is no skill, prove it... let's play... I will let you pick my team.

Early on I sold off my WBC cards so I could concentrate on the Live series which are core cards. I need 7 cards for the collection left.
I thought the same as far as the set 1’s expiring and felt it was a waste of time and effort to build on expiring cards.I’ll build up my diamonds to high parallel’s.
-
I really don't think this game feels pay to win at all. I have a good team and haven't even done half the grind available and haven't spent a dime on stubs.

Madden skill gap is knowledge. Mlb skill gap is actual stick skills.
Both games, a superior player with a lesser team will beat an inferior player with a much better team but a 99 vs 95 isn't that big of a differential. You get a 90 over team, still winning? I say no. Only a few guys can do that and they are usually comp guys.

There's no way this game is pay to win when having all the best cards doesn't mean [censored] if you still can't hit lol
-
If you think Chipper is that much better than Murakami or even Devers that it's pay to win then you just want a reason to yell at something. One of the 3 collection rewards will be free after like 2 more weeks anyway(there are enough free cards for Trea already). The only pack card you could maybe consider pay to win is Trout, who is half price of the LS Trout anyway
-
I would argue this year is the least pay to win then ever but I honestly don't think it ever was. While there are some very skilled players out there and the strike zone batting view has been honed by some...this game always felt random to me. Patience isn't rewarded and too many online games are won by hitting a ball out of the park on a pitch location that would be scientifically impossible to do. Even offline in Showdown I have had many times I can't do squat with my Diamonds and Golds only to complete the challenge by smashing a HR or RBI double with a common card with [censored] ratings.
I understand frustration with online play but pay to win isn't one but that's just my opinion. -
It's player dependent too. If a great player can perform with an all gold lineup, he'll probably beat a bad player with '99s.
I'm not a good player, so a player could still thrash me with silvers, especially with captain buffs.

Yes, they are giving out good diamonds for free, but the ones you can get for free are 92s and 97s or a flawed 99. If you hope to remain competitive online at the higher ranks their will be a new 99 card you will need for another 80k stubs.
Add to all this that these cards will expire!!! At which point they get to dangle a new season collection and a bunch of new 99s in everyone face.
This years game is absolute garbage. The gamplay is fun, and I love baseball, but this feels like a money grab.
as opposed to when the only high diamonds were collection rewards at launch? That was when it was really pay to win, most people dont even buy stubs, it is so easy to field a competitive team in this game, you can have 99's in this game but if you cant hit with them it doesnt matter the overall.

My only gripe is that Chipper, Ruth and Pedro should have been CORE. I know they are a set 1 collection but still

thats the fun tho in the wild card spot, you get to pick one, it makes building a lineup just a bit more tricky.

I agree. Just makes it harder to justify locking in any non sellable cards past the first choice pack. Right now Yelich would be my Wild Card

i'd bet yelich gets a better 99 down the road, id love to see him get a retro finest from 2018.

You do know not all of them are useless right? They have the wildcard option to carry over one player from any set I believe

Have you played on HOF or Legend in RS yet? Because that’s when you start seeing the cream rise to the top.

Anyone who claims that there's no skill gap in this game has never seen me try to hit righty-righty.
Please.

@Pergo_MLBTS said in This is the most pay to win the show has ever been:
Its exactly the opposite for me. For the first time I see no reason to spend any real money.
exactly. Im not even sure what the OP is talking about. I got 99 Trout through the programs, i got Lou Gherig through the program for RS, and i got other "good" 99s through just playing....i normally have purchased 3-5 50 packs by now and ive only bought stubs once. I did buy another 50 pack, but it was from earned stubs. It is way easier this year to get cards (dont tell SDS lol)
-
This game isn’t pay to win. You can grind literally every card in the game if you are 1)good or 2)have loads of free time.
So, if you want all the cards, increase 1 or 2.
3 option would be to open up the wallet
