Expiring Cards is absolutely ridiculous
-
I’ve been disappointed in this change since they announced it. Trying to give it a chance but I didnt even log into DD for the last 3 weeks of Season 1 because it seemed pointless to go after any Set 1 players when they’re just going to be worthless in July. I’d rather preserve my will to grind until I can get cards I can use for the majority of the cycle.
It’s a big L. I get what they tried, but limiting who we can use isn’t a great way imo. We need at least 1-2 more Wild Cards. Even if it’s just one pitcher, one hitter or something.

@eatyum_PSN said in Expiring Cards is absolutely ridiculous:
They were pretty transparent about this change from the get go
I agree they were but they also said it was a trial and error thing to see how it worked out
Like I said earlier I didn’t really think about it in the beginning bc it seemed so far away and I guess in the back of my mind I thought- “they wouldn’t do that”
And obviously that wasn’t the smartest on my part
But then seeing how heavy the offline grind is this year and the season coming to an end in about a month it really made me think about it more as of late
And I stand by what I said- it’s absolutely ridiculous to grind/spend for a 99 cracked card
Then not being able to use said card and then having to do that grind or spend money all over again for pretty much the same exact card all over again lol
It doesn’t even make sense when I say it out loud
No they said the trial and error thing to see how it worked out was about captains, not sets
Ok I’m able to say when I was mistaken which I was about the trial and error.. I believe
But I do remember them being pretty ambiguous about what further seasons/sets would consist of
So if I’m never able to use these set one cards again what’s the purpose of keeping them? What was the purpose of grinding for them and building their stats
Are they just going to make my Griffey and trout from season one obsolete and then turn around and gives us another griffey and trout that I need to pay/grind for again
These are my questions/gripes with this whole thing
Maybe wait until set/season 3 to see how it works?
Ok I took the bait and unblocked you becaue you’re so active in this thread so I’ll answer you question
They’ve already told us how season 3 works- which is the whole Lonny if my thread
You won’t be able to use cards that you grinded for and/or paid for from season one- and that’s my whole complaint
You’ll be able to use all of your cards, just not in every mode.
Not sure what “Lonny if my thread” means but, you do you I guess.
Point of my thread*
And not being able to use them in n ranked seasons, as I stated on the first page, is the reason this expiring card fiasco is ridiculous.
You said it’s because you spent money on them. Or “grinded” for them.
What you could do, is not spend money on cards that you won’t be able to use in your preferred modes of gameplay.
And for the free cards you got from “grinding” have the mindset that you actually got them from playing the game you enjoy playing.
You do enjoy playing the game yes? If not, then why are you playing it.

The content is only gonna get better so I wouldn’t sweat it.
The issue isn’t if the content will be great or not
The issue is being FORCED to have cards your grinded for be absolutely irrelevant in a month or so
Just picture if you grinded season one for chipper, babe and Pedro
You can literally only use one of them next month and that’s only if you decide to make one of them your wildcard over your other cards at that
That’s wayyyyyyy too much grinding to have the cards you grinded for be irrelevant
And I don’t think you’re going to get much better than chipper or babe- maybe equal but not better… if anything might be slightly better
Chipper and Babe are pretty much maxed out lol
Babe is 100% maxed out.
That’s why I’ve kind of given up on the grinding my friend. There will be other cards. I have a job and a life. The game is my escape.

Exactly, if playing the game is “grinding” rather than enjoyment, then why bother playing?
And yes, there will be oh so many other cards

You're being willfully obtuse with your last point.
Grinding means being forced to play with cards you don't want or want to use, wasting limited playing time availability to get a card you want. Now, if by the time you get it, you can't use it to your heart's content, then yes, it's more of a grind than a fun game. The limited time programs have compounded the problem. 19 and 20 had the best program structures. Sure, tweak it to avoid fatigue and apathy, but I couldn't do it for a 3rd straight year. And this year they took it to another level. And made lineup variety even less of a thing.

Agreed, I don't get the 'better content' argument. Will they be releasing 100s now? They shot their load too early on the best players having 99s like Griff, Chipp, Babe, Maddux, Pedro. Or will they just release alternate 99 versions of the same players??? That would be weak

Again this makes no sense- there was no way to grind for certain cards- you either had to buy them out right or buy a pack and hope you got lucky. Either way it takes money
I’m not worried about spending money- I’m frustrated that you’re not going to be able to use the cards, I’ve spent my time/money to gain, which means I own them, any time I want.
I don’t understand why that’s so difficult for you to understand- and I’m saying that sincerely, not trying to be rude or anything
I don’t understand how it’s so difficult for you to grasp that people that have spent time and or money on anything in life would like to be able to use the fruits of their labors when they like to and not be told when they can do so- especially in something that’s supposed to be a fun children’s game- IE a video game

I had this same exact discussion with my friend yesterday and I can only see them releasing alternate versions of cards that have been already released- which I agree is super lame

Well y’all better pick your wildcard correctly then
Lol- I think if they gave you the option to pick 3 or 4 wildcards then it this wouldn’t be such an issue
Because you would still have to grind for the newer cards that are realized but you’d also get to carry over 3 cards that you absolutely love
Just imagine a person has played the game enough to get chipper, babe and Pedro. They literally can only use one of those cards going forward- that’s bizarre especially how heavy the grind was to obtain those set one collection cards

You’ll be able to use all of your cards, just not in every mode.
Not sure what “Lonny if my thread” means but, you do you I guess.
Point of my thread*
And not being able to use them in n ranked seasons, as I stated on the first page, is the reason this expiring card fiasco is ridiculous.
You said it’s because you spent money on them. Or “grinded” for them.
What you could do, is not spend money on cards that you won’t be able to use in your preferred modes of gameplay.
And for the free cards you got from “grinding” have the mindset that you actually got them from playing the game you enjoy playing.
You do enjoy playing the game yes? If not, then why are you playing it.
You're being willfully obtuse with your last point.
Grinding means being forced to play with cards you don't want or want to use, wasting limited playing time availability to get a card you want. Now, if by the time you get it, you can't use it to your heart's content, then yes, it's more of a grind than a fun game. The limited time programs have compounded the problem. 19 and 20 had the best program structures. Sure, tweak it to avoid fatigue and apathy, but I couldn't do it for a 3rd straight year. And this year they took it to another level. And made lineup variety even less of a thing.
If you don’t enjoy playing the game, then why do you play it?
Just because you repeat something pointless doesn't make it true.
It’s not a statement, it’s a question.
Stop trolling; you said the same thing twice, just because you repeat the same rhetorical question (which isn't even close to an argument but baiting) doesn't make it logical and/or less of a fallacy.

@aware_ward13_PSN said in Expiring Cards is absolutely ridiculous:
I think the expiring cards thing is absolutely insane- didn’t really think about it when the game first released but now that we are getting closer to to season 3 and set 1 cards won’t be useable I really feel cheated
I spent money/stubs on some of these cards they’re my property. I’ve built their averages up and I want to continue to use them and decide on my own if I want to replace them or not
Imagine going to footlocker spending money and buying 3 pairs of sneakers and the manager comes out and says- “thank you for your purchase, you can only wear the brown sneakers for a month and then you have to burn them”
like this makes no sense
You knew this before you bought the game. Why did you buy it? You then knew it and bought the stubs. Why did you buy the stubs? Are you a stupid person?

They were pretty transparent about this change from the get go
I agree they were but they also said it was a trial and error thing to see how it worked out
Like I said earlier I didn’t really think about it in the beginning bc it seemed so far away and I guess in the back of my mind I thought- “they wouldn’t do that”
And obviously that wasn’t the smartest on my part
But then seeing how heavy the offline grind is this year and the season coming to an end in about a month it really made me think about it more as of late
And I stand by what I said- it’s absolutely ridiculous to grind/spend for a 99 cracked card
Then not being able to use said card and then having to do that grind or spend money all over again for pretty much the same exact card all over again lol
It doesn’t even make sense when I say it out loud
No they said the trial and error thing to see how it worked out was about captains, not sets
Ok I’m able to say when I was mistaken which I was about the trial and error.. I believe
But I do remember them being pretty ambiguous about what further seasons/sets would consist of
So if I’m never able to use these set one cards again what’s the purpose of keeping them? What was the purpose of grinding for them and building their stats
Are they just going to make my Griffey and trout from season one obsolete and then turn around and gives us another griffey and trout that I need to pay/grind for again
These are my questions/gripes with this whole thing
Maybe wait until set/season 3 to see how it works?
Ok I took the bait and unblocked you becaue you’re so active in this thread so I’ll answer you question

Again this makes no sense- there was no way to grind for certain cards- you either had to buy them out right or buy a pack and hope you got lucky. Either way it takes money
I’m not worried about spending money- I’m frustrated that you’re not going to be able to use the cards, I’ve spent my time/money to gain, which means I own them, any time I want.
I don’t understand why that’s so difficult for you to understand- and I’m saying that sincerely, not trying to be rude or anything
I don’t understand how it’s so difficult for you to grasp that people that have spent time and or money on anything in life would like to be able to use the fruits of their labors when they like to and not be told when they can do so- especially in something that’s supposed to be a fun children’s game- IE a video game
I understood when I spent money for Set One packs, that they would be what they are. I understood when I played the programs for hours, that I was unlocking Set One, and now Set Two cards. I understood what I was putting my dollars and labor into as it was laid out on day one. So I have no problem with it. I’m also not going to get bent out of shape about something that’s still 50 plus days away, and I have no idea what kind of content will dropped, or collections will be available on day one of Season Three. That’s what you seem to not understand, which I say, sincerely.

I love the new system, in the past did you really have fun using the same cards from april to august? Each new season feels like launch night with all the new content to grind out.

You knew this before you bought the game. Why did you buy it? You then knew it and bought the stubs. Why did you buy the stubs? Are you a stupid person?
Is there a reason you’re on here calling people derogatory names?
Kids use this site- you’re an adult are you going to sit here and call any user you want all types of insulting names
This is a discussion and there’s no need for you to act like some sort of tough guy on the internet to anonymous people
I’ve explained myself outright thru out this thread throughly on the first page.

@Ericulous1_PSN said in Expiring Cards is absolutely ridiculous:
I get everyone’s frustration but I said this before and I’ll say it again- this game is being treated as 6 mini cycles. Instead of one long slow grind- we get 6 quickies (TWSS). If they waited to tell us these cards wouldn’t be useable until it was too late, that would be absurd. But it’s been written for months. Any of you spending money/stubs certainly didn’t have to if you thought it was unfair. there are so many solid cards that are free. I haven’t spent a dime other than the $100 to buy the game and I have a tons of solid 99s that are end game. Yes, I flip. They gave me that option and I took it.
Do I like this model? yes and no. I wish we had a happy medium. Maybe no sets and seasons and dozens of end game 99s from day 1. But I definitely got tired of grinding for cards that were trumped by better cards the min you got them. I’ll use guys like Chipper all year.
“But you can’t, they expire!” not for me, I’d rather get a root canal than only play online. Offline is how I enjoy my games or a league with friends. I love when someone says the majority of players play online. How do you know? Most of the people I know either prefer offline or like both.
Anyway, I’d also like to point out that sets 4-6 are probably really short time periods or with be overloaded with insane cards like the end game always is.
6 mini cycles where their goal is to get you to spend as many stubs as they can get from you.
And they do expire for you. I also play offline only. If you want to do any Season 3 or beyond conquest maps or mini seasons then those cards will essentially be expired for that content. You would be relegated to re-running Season 1 and 2 conquest maps or the US map.
All I know is that when July 7th comes around, if my Cardinal Theme team is gutted because I am using so many good Set 1 cards (Walker, Edmonds, Smith, WBC Arenado and Goldschmidt and Nootbaar, Charisma Edman, Captain Wainwright, Gibson, Lee Smith), many of whom will have multiple Parallel levels, then I am more than likely done at that point.

But that didn’t happen last year lol
If you used the same cards from April to august then your team in august must’ve been horrible because there weren’t really any end game cards released at launch last year
The longest card that was released at launch and stayed in my lineup last year was that 94 Ketel and he was done mid way thru the year.
My CF was 99 Trout that wasn’t released until the final BR program of last year
So you’re point makes no sense because my team looked very different in august then it did in April
