    Rookie mode used to be for grinding purposes only. Now, however, the AI Pitchers paint the black with seemingly 50mph Curveballs and AI Hitters take everything over an inch off the plate. It's still easy, but more annoying. I miss the Yetis!

    You people honestly don’t feel the grinding is too much? Guess I’m just gonna have to buy cards off the marketplace once season 1 cards aren’t viable online anymore.

    To me, it’s too much at this point.

    no, go play the year you had to collect souvenirs or the year you had to get 300 innings with certain teams pitching staff to finish the missions for TA, etc.

    They are coping with how dogwater their favourite game has become. Someone complains and they all come running even though the game is to fun to put the controller down….. Schnauzerface posts the same thing the next day and all of a sudden it’s a well thought out complaint lmfao.

    It’s so hard not to come back and see the cringe on here everyday. Way more appealing and entertaining than the same 8 moment variations for three years in a row.

    It’s just stale and boring to me at this point.
    I grinded a lot for season 1 rewards and have a solid group of cards but I am unmotivated to grind this season 2 stuff.
    I strictly only enjoy playing online win or lose. But now I feel forced to have to waste hours playing the cpu on rookie which is extremely boring because apparently in a few weeks these season 1 cards won’t be allowed online.

    At the end of the day a moment where you have to hit a home run is the same over and over again whether you change the pitcher and hitter. It’s repetitive and boring. Even the showdowns are stale. I used to read the captions but now it’s obviously just score a run or more runs then the cpu.

    Why do I have to be forced to grind this [censored] if I don’t want to? Then I have to buy cards on the market which is a losing method because cards decline in price drastically.

    No one is "forcing" you to grind anything. You can use those season 1 cards until you are no longer able and then use your Live Series cards the rest of the year..

    Your complaining is "old and repetitive".

    Just stop playing already.

    To answer your question honestly. Yes, it is too much grinding for me. But I can only answer for myself.

    My remedy? I don't grind for everything. I know I would burn out before I even got close. So, for example, I did the NL Central affinity until I had enough points to get the three Cardinals in the program. Any other affinity rewards I get along the way or after that is just a bonus.

    People have this fear of missing out that makes them believe they are failing at the game if they don't max out the XP reward path, finish every program, do every collection, earn every card.

    In the end there is not another sole on the planet that probably cares if you get it done. You are the one putting pressure on yourself. When all is said and done the game should be fun. If the grinding is not fun then stop trying to grind for everything.

    Exactly what I am thinking with the season xp path too… are Loup and Franco best cards? No but they are Mets so they will be my first picks

    I paid $100 for this game. Personally it doesn’t bother me that there is more to do. That’s kinda the whole point. It’s like paying $100 for a Chili Peppers concert and then complaining that the set was too long.

    So don’t grind. You said you enjoy playing online win or lose , so just use your live series golds and diamonds when you’re set 1 stuff is no longer eligible. Win or lose you’ll still enjoy the game. Easy peasy man

    I didn’t even log in to DD for about a month because I had little interest in grinding for Set 1 Cards. I feel like Season 3 is basically the prime of the game so I’ve been a lot more intrigued getting the Set 2 cards since they’ll actually be usable in July.

    I just grind towards my personal goal, which is to collect all the A's players. I do what I can for that but otherwise just have fun.

    Shout out to the person who brought up the Yetis! That was a fun time!
