I want to applaud sds for trying something new
-
Is this new season format a hit for all of us? No, it’s not. Some like it, some don’t. Count me as one of the people who do not care for this format but at least they’re trying something new. I have to give them credit for mixing it up.
I think my general malaise for this years iteration is that all of the cool, good cards, for the most part (not all of them) are locked behind a paywall. Everything just seems too grindy for the amount of time I’m willing to dedicate to playing. That’s just my experience. I’m sure some of you feel otherwise and that’s great.
I think if they’d juice the xp gain it would be more appealing to me but as it currently stands, I just feel like I’m not making progress with any of these collections. Sorry for the long post but with all that being said at least they tried a new format.

Yep just like 18. Look at them trying new stuff that has poor planning and seems very out of touch with their consumers. So proud of them.

Well, I agree. At least there was an attempt to mix it up? Did it work, obviously not in our opinion.

I, too, give them credit for trying something different.
Here’s one thing (of many), I’d like to see them do different: I’m about to wrap up playing tonight for about 2 1/2 hours. I received NO cards toward ANY collections. Set 1, 2, Core, Uniforms, Equipment, etc. Zero, nada, zilch. No magic spin. Again, nothing.
It is very discouraging.

This is my feeling as well. It’s like they had a good idea with bad execution. The shame of it is that I feel the gameplay is good. I just don’t have a desire to grind like I used to.

Yep, a lot of work for unusable cards when you do get a reward. I struggled to have fun in this game all season. What worked for me is to skip grinding all together and just play to get better at the game. Gameplay is better than previous years. IMO. I think they took all the info from the surveys and we will have a better content experience starting this Friday.

I somewhat feel the same way. Seems like every content drop , especially for offline grinders like myself is just a huge grind to attain cards that feed collections to get the really good cards. I’ve dabbled in duos and trios , with the occasional solo game and what I’ve found is that the cards that I earn aren’t really relevant there. The few I’ve gotten from collections however are fine.

The collection rewards are all very good cards. The problem is the path to get them is just a giant pxp slog. It needs to be fun in itself but so far this year it just feels like busy work.

100% they way I feel. I really like the gameplay, but the grind is... boring.

Yeah bro, you hit the nail on the head. I’m too bored with all of that. I have like 300k stubs but I don’t want to buy cards out of principal. I’m just in a weird space with this game despite really liking the gameplay. It’s odd.

SDS is always doing something different to get diamond cards and improving their changes for next year.

My only issue is the 99s that are locked behind lottery packs with the amount of no sell packs

I'm curious how you used your time. During double XP I average 20,000 XP per 9 inning game, sometimes I can get up to 30,000 Xp for a game. In 2 1/2 hours you should have had at least 2 spins.
