SDS: Non-Sellable rewards

Funny how the price of cards went down once we had a cross market on 3 consoles. So honestly million dollar cards no longer exist because of that. So SDS making these cards non-sellable is just ignorant.

Pretty sure we can 1M stub cards last year.

As someone who plays this game alot for many years all I will say on this is I am.just going to play the game and collect my card from.the program and move on.
I have reached a point in my life were I don't need to worry about this stuff and just enjoy what I have which is a very enjoyable baseball game.
I get what I get and don't get upset it's not worth it

Yep in years past I was motivated to play and get all the cards to play with in the game. It gave me something to strive for as an average player that will never be elite. Now that deal is long gone with the new direction, high end packs, and non sellable rewards. I can’t be the only one in this boat, was nice while it lasted.
You’re not. It’s ridiculous the choices they have made. They implement programs to combat the inflated million stub cards. They now make the card unsellable, while making the WS program HARDER. They introduce Team Affinity. They take away Team Affinity. They bring back Team Affinity but make it HARDER. They take away the XP Reward path. They bring back the XP reward path. Who is in charge of making these decisions?
-
SDS caters to streamers for what? How many people do they influence to purchase this game? Not many. They bump there chances to pull cards and give them a free game and more garbage. The streamers cry and they flip the script. These streamers arent even active members of this forum bc its beneath them.

I'm confused...you get a pack for playing BR even if you go 0-2, right?
And packs cost 1500 Stubs, right?
So why are some of you upset with paying the entry fee to get the Program reward for a card you can't sell?
And...this thread is soooo funny since some people (like me!) told you all the moves SDS was making were to increase their profits, but some of y'all said that was impossible and they'd never do that. LOL.
BTW - the mode is still clearly missing something. And that's a 9 inning version of BR using cards we own. Basically a capped mode...or something similar to the Summer Series thing they did last year.
It really does make too much sense. Would even give some people a reason to actually play ONLINE...it would be nice to load up an online 9 inning game and not see the SAME lineup for the 200th time in a row.
-
Absolutely. That would be great to be able to use other cards you like

I’ve read through this and multiple other threads and I see good arguments from both sides. Probably nobody will care what I think but here’s my 2 cents.
If you go back 3 years ago, there were no programs for RS/BR. Only way to get these special cards were to make it to WS and go 12-0.
In my honest opinion, the way they just made set 2 is how it should’ve been implanted in the first place when they introduced programs.
Lets not kid ourselves, “programs” are a handout. If you’re gonna be handed out a special card for participating, it shouldn’t be worth as much as the one who earned his way to WS or 12-0 in BR. It’s a great way to encourage those who can’t make it or don’t have the time to get what was an unattainable before without having to spend 300-400K stubs.
They should just have stub vouchers for going 12-0/making world series. Gatekeeping the cards is dumb as hell. BR exploded in popularity when the program was added. If they implemented it from the start 3 years ago it would have been different. Taking things away from players is bad. I didn't play BR before the programs and I'm not doing so now. The number of players that feel the same as me I can almost guarantee is much higher than the 40 players total that wanted this.
None of what you have said is true. BR has always been a popular mode since it’s introduction a few years back. The only difference is the accessibility of the rewards which the good players said was only going to saturate the market which it did. Please tell me why you’re entitled to a sellable reward. Because the 12-0 guy gets it? So you’re telling me that your equal to that player? You see that’s the difference between equity and equality. You want to something for nothing while the other person earned his reward even though you are given the same opportunities as the 12-0 player. This is the scourge of socialism. Make everyone believe they are the same even when merit proves otherwise.

You are the least credible person on this forum and have been for years. I'm amazed they let you make a new account under the same exact name with lowercase letters and it didn't auto trigger a ban tbh. If you think casual online players played BR before the program you are delusional. The only ones that played BR before were capable 12-0 players and the "diamond make the game play bad crowd". It was a waste of time for everyone else

Ok then stop trying to participate in a mode where elite players are playing. Just because you want something doesn’t give you the right have it. Either accept the reward that they give you for participating (the participation trophy ie the non sellable card) or stop playing the mode altogether and annoying us with your whining about why you can’t sell your trophy.
This is so insulting. Grinding 8-10 hours, playing the same people you are but winning less isn't a participation trophy. Elitist snobbish points of view like this are exactly whats wrong with this game.
Sometimes somebody has slap you for you to return to reality. Life is a competition. That’s not elitism thats a fact of life.
No, it's not a competition. It's A video game that's supposed to be fun. The pov that only the 1% should be fairly rewarded is elitist and snobbish.
Please go tell that to streamers who make a living at playing this game. You’re only further proving my point. Let me guess, you think capitalism is elitist and snobbish too? Well why don’t you tell me how every communist society has faired in the history of human kind. Cuba, China, N. Korea, USSR, Venezuela, all the eastern block European countries during the Cold War. All are cautionary tales about how much of an abject failure that economic system actually is. But you’re young maybe you know more than me.
Your general idea is correct. Communism fails. But it’s not an economic system. It’s an authoritarian form of government with governmental ownership of all goods and services.
Socialism is an economic system. And every successful economy in the world uses a hybrid of capitalism and socialism of varying degrees.
Finally someone with half a brain who understands these concepts lol

I don't get to play enough ranked and will not touch BR to obtain these cards naturally so I buy them off the market. I can work the market on and off through the day to make more than enough stubs to buy the cards I want and plenty I don't want (for collection purposes). Across the board I already accept that I will be paying inflated prices for reward cards and that's fine. People deserve to "profit" from their effort.
My biggest concern with the no-sell stuff is the potential gate-keeping of cards at a massively inflated price like we have seen previously.
I guess we will see.
-
While it certainly seems like most folks don't like the non-sellable rewards, I have to believe that EA must have seen a serious jump in micro-purchases when it expanded non-sellable rewards in FIFA this year. SDS is just jumping on that bandwagon.
The odd thing for The Show is, EA also pushed players into more game modes that have a buy-in this year, but the rewards in those modes remained sellable.
SDS seems to have melded the two ideas in BR. It will be interesting to see if it works out for them quite the way it did for EA.

I've excepted I won't get every card this year due to sds being greedy and listening to the 1% of players. Sad to see this game go this way. I stopped playing madden because of the money grab. Might have to do the same if things get worse

I thought maybe you’d play because you liked baseball. Cards being the primary reason seems unusual.

It’s the classic iOS game set up nowadays. Most of just like playing for something. If it’s just for fun why did they need to make these cards non sellable so the WS and 12-0 crowd get more stubs. Are they not having fun?

Once again you post and I see it but you have me blocked? Which means I’m not supposed to see your posts or be able to respond to you. Oh that’s right, you’re a liar. You dont have me blocked but just claim to have me blocked. The only reason I can imagine you would lie to the community about this is because you want to read my posts because it irritates you so good. Like the blister on your lip that you keep biting. It hurts yet you keep doing it. This is also narcissistic behavior borderline obsessive. Keep telling everyone that I’m blocked. Keep telling yourself that I’m wrong. I’m happy to take up residence in your head rent free. Ironically, however, you are more likely to be the one squatting in someone else’s home. Til we meet again big guy!!!

Again, I ask where is your proof for this claim. Just because a few people complain about something doesn’t make it true. Please provide proof or pedal your conspiracies elsewhere. Its really getting old listening to people like you whining and complaining because the game has decided that they don’t want an over saturation of elite cards on the market.
