I still believe that SDS has a plan for this. Maybe they open up two wild card slots or maybe there are upgrades to some of those Set 1 players that we love.
I'm thinking we'll just have the one slot for wild card... that's how the game is currently designed... you have to make a tough decision... do you use all Set 2, Set 3 and Core cards or do you replace one of those guys with a Set 1 card...
also if you are like me and haven't finished TA1 and anything else that has Set 1 cards you can still use the cards in the various modes... not directed at you but why does everyone think the sky is falling because Set 1 cards won't be eligible Ranked Seasons outside of the Wild Card when Season 3 starts?
Everyone complains about using people using the same lineups, and I feel like doing the Season/Set system like this will allow for people to take out the Set 1 cards and we'll see diverse lineups again until people pinpoint the best Set 3 cards to use at which point we'll then hear about same lineups again and Set 2 cards expiring until Season 4 starts... gotta love this vicious cycle... lol
SDS gets new players in waves and if you started the game late in previous years, you would not have access to some one the best reward cards while also being at a disadvantage on almost all future big collection. The way it is set up now, that player who starts playing at the start of Season 3 can grind and put together a team that can compete while also being eligible to get the next reward (assuming they do not keep adding to CORE for the reward). This model also gets into the pockets a bit more as those Chase cards and Diamond Duo cards will be an upgrade that a lot of players will want.
I believe that supporting all consoles verses just PS5 has greatly changed the overhead cost SDS. It costs more to support 3 separate consoles (counting PS as one). They had to find additional revenue streams and digital currency is the ideal way to make that revenue. I get why it was done and I think it would have worked better had 99's not been available from day one, but how much fun is it for a newbie to just on-line and get demolished by a veteran player rocking way better cards? Does that keep the new player vested? I had losing access to my favorite players, but if you give me a better version of the player I love then I am going to be excited.

Stop crying, they expire for everyone. Plus you can still use them vs the cpu. Plus you get a wild card.

So happy to finally see all those set 1 card users expired lmao and 75% of the player base lol.
Including yourself. All it took was a quick look at your history to see you using Turner, Chipper, Ruth, etc.
Which ironically means you grinded more than I did for set 1 cards because I don't have any of those players.
This is a very lazy bait.

You weren’t around when Diamond Dynasty was created were you? Back in those days cards expired after a few games.
Now that was fun
A lot of strategy for sure back in those couple years.

Expiring cards is nothing new.
Every single I card I earned in 2022 has now expired and can't be used currently.
Set 1 cards homie* you can't use it for the rest of the year lmfao
Isn’t the wild card slot where you’re able to use one set one card when the next season begins?

Alot weren’t around for the original DD when it first came out.
Generic names, 30, 35 and 40 game careers, spending stubs to full boost their attributes. That was alot of fun man. I still think that was way better than what we have now

My entire lineup, rotation, bench and bullpen are Core and Set Two
Other than Henderson I don't really think there is any player who cannot easily be replaced with set 2 or whatever comes next.
Is that Rickey, Gunnar, or Billingham?

I think after the baseball season they will probably open up all the cards again. Just a hunch.

Wild Card should have been 1 batter, 1 pitcher imo.

It was a lot of fun and had lots of strategy. I think they are trying for a little bit of that with expiring sets and wild cards.

I'd be more inclined to be hyped for set 3 if they'd put out some decent programs and not reserve all the best card for packs
This.
Father's Day program a W if the Holiday's were last and Griffey's or Leiter's were the pack.
That would have been the way to go. They packed the stat missions for that program all for an underwhelming 97 Griffey who everybody knows is a poor man's version. It would have been so cool to introduce a new legend like Matt Holliday by having him be the final reward of that program. I think people would have even been fine if it was a 97 overall just for the sake of it being someone new to freshen things up.
Immediately locking him behind an expensive pack just seems like the new normal unfortunately.
