The Problem
-
The problem with making non sellable ranked/ br program rewards is that the last 2 years SDS gave out handouts for simply participating, now they are trying to reward you for being the best and people are upset. You can still earn a FREE 99, I love the fact they are going back to rewarding the 12-0 path and hitting 900. It makes playing the modes have an actual purpose.
You do not need to have every card in the game, with the amount of free content SDS pumps out this isnt make or break. Its crazy how people start to jump on here call them EA just because things arent handed to them on a silver platter, i mean in the show 21 TA3 took me 3 hours to complete every team affinity. Like i get its tough for the casual player but at the end of the day the cards are all still able to be earned for free.

If they would have done this when they originally made the programs there would not have been a problem, that I can agree on. Doing it this way, especially after some streamers made some boise about wanting this to happen, is blatantly disrespectful to the people that give SDS their paychecks

They are closer to 2K than EA. EA might actually be almost better than them at this point. At least on madden side. Not sure fifa.

madden is awful. Madden requires so much money its unbearable, the h2h rewards were taken out this year, winning the super bowl, the super bowl packs give you 90's in May. Dont compare SDS to rither of them, just cause they are making it harder to earn high end cards.

How weren’t you earning things before? How long the BR and RS program take? 20 hours? Lol. But nah you’re right that isn’t earning anything. And even when dudes were World Series or 12-0 they were earning stuff right? It just wasn’t good enough. Sort of like the bad cards and rewards they are giving out for 40 hours on the TA program and now RS and BR program. But that’s cool with you somehow?

if your spending your paycheck on this game thats on you. You can play BR and Ranked and earn two free 99's without even having to be good.

you are earning a 99 by doing the br program plus xp and packs. You shouldnt be able to sell it if you dont go 12-0 its only right. I've never gone 12-0 nor will I but i think those that go 12-0 should get that right.

You're part of the problem, you just posted this to argue with people. There is plenty of threads from top 10 people on twitter crying just like you and they are all wrong.

I should have clarified, I meant it as the 95% of us that get screwed over by this keep the lights on at SDS.

You don’t NEED every card in the game but some of us WANT every card in the game and it motivates us to play and grind. That is not a participation trophy it’s putting hours of our time into a game to earn rewards. It’s okay to have opinions and different motivations to play other than being in the top 1%.

I don't even need every card in the game, (been there done that last year and it was boring), but I need some way to play and earn stubs, I like using different players all the time, and they are shutting down at every turn ways to make stubs while playing

You are earning a 99 at the end of the day for a program, should they go back to the old way of BR/ranked and not give programs at all?

SDS isnt naive I'm almost positive by the next ranked program (this one is 4 weeks) they will add a stub voucher, they've done this in the past and i can see them doing it again with the reaction of the community. I'm all for SDS trying new things, but its just shocking to me how so many people pull the "im not good enough" card, I coach 3 sports, i work in special education and i work as an assistant to our athletic director, i have very long week days and nights. If you want to make time to get a card, you'll find the time.

You’re right and they have made getting those cards much more difficult but cutting back rewards, limiting sellable cards, and generally turning earning those cards into more of a job. Most of us play for fun and not just to do more work. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have to work for them just that making it 10x harder to get those cards unless you are amazing at the game is going to ruffle some feathers and make it not worth the time investment any longer.

You can get the same exact card for free??? By doing the same thing, its no different then like a boss choice pack, who are you going to pick? You're a tigers fan, you really want to sell that Veralnder? His card will play very well and be a top notch arm in the game.

He probably wants to get to 100 points 3 times in BR so he can sell two and keep one. Then finish the LS. That's what most people were doing in Set 1 with Griffey. How is that a hard concept to fathom? Or would you rather he spend $300 in real money just to get 450K in Monopoly Money?

IF you spent stubs wisely and have worked towards the LS collection since launch you should have collections down, online modes shouldn't have to cater to casual, its competitive for a reason, I get selling for stubs is a big deal, I'm bummed about it as well, but going 12-0 should net you a gigantic profit, for how hard it is to achieve the reward should be special.

thats not even how the br program worked, you could only get the BR program reward once, you cant jsut get 100 points 3 times and grab 2 BR cards, that doesnt even make since, besides the prices get marked down so much to about 125-130k when everyone has the cards, thats basically one high end collection card. Most LS diamonds are cheap now other than the big dogs.

I would guess most people would need to play like 10 hours to complete the BR program. I would say that is more than earning. All for a non-sellable card. Bad move imo.
