Come on SDS. Throw us a freakin bone here.
stop making me work hard for good cards ugh!
This morning alone I put about 2 hours of work in
If you consider playing a game "work", maybe this just isnt the game for you.

If they consider it work, they should try to make it as a streamer, lol

I am pretty much offline exclusive. The grind is definitely real for these TA programs, but that works for how I play the game. Hard to complain about always having something to work towards.
However, I do wonder how more competitive online gamers feel about it though because I can't imagine finding the time to grind this stuff on top of keeping up with something like Ranked Seasons. You can of course make progress in that mode towards the TA program, but in order to keep up you probably never get to just play with your top squad. Just seems like you have to prioritize one or the other.

I have no problem working hard. I've logged probably 20-30 hours into this TA program so far....and im under 45% in every division. It's a very helpless feeling for a game that I truly love. This morning alone I put about 2 hours of work in and all I had to show for it was a single Future Star pack and an Unlockable pack and maybe about 2k worth of stubs.
Truly baffling that they are really only catering to the Show player who can log 5-6 hours a day.
you must not be doing it right, get a max elevation stadium, load up on players from a certain team and pump away xp missions for teams.

Being 45% with 35ish days left in the season is basically putting you on pace to finish by Season 3.
The thing that sucks though, is these aren’t Core cards. So by the time you get a lot of these done, these cards will be on their way out. I would have no problem with this grind if these cards were Core.

And if you're cool offline grinding versus the CPU, take advantage of the Incognito Boss mission. You get 5,000 points towards the TA program for every 1,000 PXP and it is repeatable so you can kind of double dip by simultaneously working towards a specific team PXP goal - also 5,000 TA points - at the same time. This obviously gets sped up exponentially if one of those bosses is a pitcher.

My only gripe with this is that they should have maybe done 1 Starter, 1 Reliever and 3 hitters...or 1 pitcher and 4 hitters...If you've got a division with multiple starters...you've got incognito cards that can't gain you any PXP...But then again, I'm the type that tries to maximize my output potential with my lineups. And I usually go division by division instead of just throwing anybody and everybody into my lineup.

TA1 between 5-30%
This one. Between 0-20%Given up grinding TA. Absolutely horrendous.
Play RS. Do the weeklies. Just got to 70% of the incognito program.
The pressure to do the sets is nonsense. Y’all may like it but I play 5-10 hours a week. And I want to mostly enjoy my game. Not grind CPU. I can’t get home from school at 4 and just play. I get home from work at 7. Eat. Relax. Weekends. I’m an adult. Barely any time.
Pah.

I like the fact that it always gives me something to work toward. TA 1 was so much worse. Now it’s 2K XP per team and not 2.5K. You have the Incognito repeatable mission, moments are worth more, exchanges are lower and it’s quicker to get TA vouchers. Since there is no content today other than about 30 mins of Topps Now moments, aren’t you glad there is something to work on?
@SaveFarris_PSN - well done sir

It's a figure of speech I assumed most were familiar with. Like, "I'm about to put in work on this chicken parm"...or "I'm about to do work on your girl". Sorry for not clarifying.

If you finish by season 3, you'll still have a month or two to use them until season 4.
And im also of the belief that for the last season , all sets will be open to create the ultimate god squad.

I'm absolutely OK with the fact that these things take time. As they should. It's just my opinion that this year in particular, acquiring decent cards and keeping up with everything takes far more time than it should.
If you are a serious grinder and this is up your wheelhouse, all the props in the world. Just doesn't seem like they gave much thought to the casual's who can't log 20+ hours a week. Could atleast bump up the packs/stubs along the way for those of us who likely wont finish. Something is better than nothing.

So do less to get the same or more reward than someone who does more? Lol trophies for everyone!!

Between Weekly Wonders, Conquests, mini seasons, other programs, the xp rewards, etc, how much more free [censored] do we really need here? Is this really what this community has become? A group that will never be satisfied no matter what we get?

Yes this is what the world today has become I want exactly what you have, but I don’t want to work as hard for it

Nah. You just shouldn't need to grind a thousand hours to get a 97 overall "Slick Nick" that is probably never going to be used.
Or, the rewards should simply be better if all this time is going into it.

I've been playing this game long enough to know that this year we are getting MUCH less for MUCH more grinding. Thats an absolute fact.

I believe the phrase "beggars cant be choosers" most definitely applies here. This is a video game....something we do in our leisure time. We arent working for 2 dollars a day in a sweatshop here. We're given free stuff for PLAYING A GAME. Is it less than it used to be? I suppose maybe that's so. Is it still free? Yup.

Last year: We dont have enough to grind, we need more things to work for to keep playing, getting oring playing for nothing.
SDS inplements a wheelspin so earning XP actually matters, makes TA progression longer so people areactively always working towards somthing
This year: its to much to grind, its way to hard.
