Ranked and BR Change Explanation
-
They made flipping more of a pain in the [censored] in ‘22 and now they’re telling us we can’t make stub on a reward we earned in a program they implemented? Utterly ridiculous.

I agree. They are taking every method to make stubs away. This is 100% a snobbish elite and greed issue.

They’re taking away methods to make stubs and locking high end cards behind expensive packs. And some players still can’t see the writing on the wall?

I like the change. The way it was before, there was no value in the reward cards. I think the ws rewards last season were going for about 40k. There should be some incentive and reward for doing something good in the game. Not everyone should get a trophy.

Then add something like a stub voucher or a chance at a chase pack reward to the 90+ reward that only those going 12-0 get. Add the 90+ pack as well to going 900 in ranked. To take away from the majority to cater to those at the top is the wrong direction.

Thing is, most of the folks that grind the program, myself included, grind it, get the pack, and most likely never touch it again until the next season. That goes for BR and Ranked.
The ones who continue to play BR especially, are trying to go 12-0, and do repeatedly, and the reward for that is the sellable packs. It makes absolute sense to me to reward the players who continue to play the mode, and the rest of us get an incredible card for free, that also goes towards collections.

@Firestormx_MLBTS said in Ranked and BR Change Explanation:
I find the explanation infuriating for the change to Ranked and BR. More snobbish elitism. The basic answer is only those who go 12-0 or make 900 should have stubs. Nobody else is allowed only the 1% is allowed to get richer in stubs. The program is not cost-efficient enough for an average to causal player to do the program. You lose too many stubs with 100 million stubs per attempt cost to enter the BR Program. The stupid pack you get for each entry gives about 150-250 stubs back normally max. This explanation will not help anything but will further divide between snobbish elites and everyone else. Even if those who go 12-0 or make 900 are not snobbish elites, that is the impression. Taking away from those in the middle to bottom to cater to those at the very top seldom goes over well. Take away the ability for anyone to sell or reverse this decision is the only fair answer.

It was never supposed to be. The fact is was becoming that is why they changed it.
Want to sell the rewards? Get Gooder. (I'm not. But then again, I was never selling the rewards anyway.)

This didn’t change card prices, it was caused by the cross platform market. 3 consoles flooded the market, that’s what drove down prices. Plus they have locked the best cards in the game behind either collections or packs. Oh wait that means people pay stubs to get these cards. They take a mode we actually pay to play and said no more making back your stubs.
-
Sheesh that was a lot of words to say not enough people were buying stubs lol
-
The no-sell nonsense really pissed me off and I haven't played since the latest BR program dropped, but SDS' explanation made it a whole lot easier for me to stay away. So thanks for that SDS!

https://theshow.com/news/game23-update-7/Well if thats the excuse they should make the Live Series more attainable for people. I always complete it but I know alot people that dont.
-
It doesn’t bother me that much and I will never go 12-0 or hit World Series again as I’m in my 30’s now and my reaction time sucks. What does bother me is that streamers get help sometimes on their way to 12-0 or World Series games. Just today I saw a video of your friendkyle getting a free win because someone was in his chat and just quit and he got to World Series. Obviously Kyle is a good player and would make World Series either way but wtf? How many other streamers get free wins occasionally like this or people that accept friendly quits for them.

I have used the phrase before and I am sure that I will use it again.
Aggressive Monetization.
Everything about this years game seems to be pushing people to buy stubs.
- 99's in very expensive packs that are sold for a very short time, ensuring their rarity and higher prices.
- Expiration dates on cards, which means you may have to pay a lot of stubs for a 99 of your favorite players multiple times.
- No Sell POTM cards
- No Sell BR program rewards
- Pitiful Stubs payouts in programs, moments, and now Showdowns. In showdown you used to be able to make your stubs back after three or four bosses. Not so in the Kaiju showdown.
So more expensive cards than ever before + less opportunities to earn stubs = Aggressive Monetization.
-
So basically they were spying on how we used the rewards and because not everyone gives a [censored] about collections and sold the reward they were salty. Kinda ruins the experience of going through all those toxic players. Yes sds most of the players on all star difficulty are extremely toxic. Smh

I really hope SDS sees this post. I couldn't have said it better.

I refuse to buy packs of any kind for this very reason. Looks like if we want those shiny 99s, we better save up because that’s the trend of this game now.

So in other words, this game should be for the "get gud" bullies and everyone else can just shut up and take it.
