Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't we still in a Holiday weekend?
Wednesday morning, I expect the hype machine to start full bore all the way until Friday.
True. I'll calm down. I think I was expecting more since this year's set up is so different, but point taken.
I like that graphic you did that was funny! It caused me to immediately think of Vizini (Wallace Shawn’s character in case I butchered the spelling) in Princess Bride haha

Dude, you nailed it. No content other than Topps Now for a long Holiday weekend and absolutely zero hype for the new season. I mean- we are getting 3 major programs at least with POTM, TA 3 and Season 3 and not a word. Kinda feels like they are not enthusiastic about their own game. And you know I’m a fanboy too. Well of course you do, I see you at all the meetings.
We should start the hype machine ourselves. Ok, I haven’t started a thread in a while. Here goes nothing-

Whats to hype? Same stuff coming. 5 99s coming via XP reward path. TA3 grind 97s incoming just like before. Nothing gonna be different bro. Same format. Just different names on the cards. Just like s1, and s2. The formula has been made
I sincerely hope you are wrong. But I don't think you will be.

Set 2 had a couple really barren patches for content that were eventually broken by cut & paste pxp programs. It was really phoned in.

It was going to be either Caddy Shack or Princess Bride

Here we are, about to lose the use of most of our Set 1 cards for the time being. WBC Trout, WBC Ohtani, Chipper, etc. I understand that SDS is trying something new with "Seasons".
But... We're less than 4 days away from the end of Set 1, and all SDS is hyping is "Double XP". How about getting me excited for some new cards? I know we'll get some new All Star cards and HRD, but what else?
I was hoping that SDS would be out there on Twitter (or even better, here on the Forum) selling us on the new content. Instead... crickets.I think most of you know that I'm an MLBTS fanboy. But man, it's hard to continue my enthusiasm.
ZZZZZZ....
What happened to all the streams they used to do? so lame.

Guess you’ll really sh*t your pants when they reveal they got Cobb, Hornsby and Ted back and they are in set 3

This is the best possible news, and I believe it 100%. Plus, I need new pants anyway. Win/win!

They did one before Season 2 I think. I assume they will do one for season 3 as well. It will happen Friday if it happens so they still have a few days to announce it if they are going to do it.

The first tweet teasing the lightning player for POTM has been posted. Absolutely no information given but the are starting the hype for Friday.

Exactly! At the risk of annoying everyone again (again)...
Season 2 started Friday, May 12. Monday, May 8th, they teased "Team Affinity 2". On Tuesday, they started releasing Captains by division. Wednesday the 10th, they started releasing TA Incognito by division.
So... I know it's a holiday week, but... give me something to look forward to.

Begun it has.

3 in a choice pack, 2 along the way like Ortiz and Gossage were I assume?

I was thinking the same thing, then I checked twitter this afternoon and nothing but tumbleweeds. Maybe tomorrow.

Wonder how many card previews we will get on twitter, they have confirmed a stream on Friday so they may hold back the reveals for set 3 until then.
Maybe we'll see some Topps Now or POTM cards previewed on Twitter

C’mon SDS daddy needs a new pair of shoes! Maybe a nice 1989 All-Star Howard Johnson card!
