Where's the hype for Set 3?

I wonder if they are holding off reveals on social because of the collision of programs.
If they reveal POTM cards then we know who gets AS cards and vise versa.
Also and since this is a hot topic maybe TA is not 99s so they don't want to just reveal another round of 97s or 98s and have soical go bonkers less then 2 days away from release. Counter point to that is maybe they are working to adjust things to 99s because of feedback so they don't have everything finished just yet
Either way I'm ready for a full load of content...I said what I said
These are all good points. Back at it, bringing me off the ledge.

Ohhhh.... man.... I can't.... help myself. Too easy. BTW, Jan reacts exactly the same way my wife does every time I say it.
Love it, also my wife makes the same face as well and all I can think is does she think making that face will make me stop...cause it doesn't in fact it has the opposite effect.

So far their hype- Lots of stuff coming.
With a roughly hour long stream scheduled for Friday before season 3 I am not sure how many big reveals we will actually get via twitter. They might hold most of them back for the stream.
Really, what time is that stream?
Says Friday at 11 PST:
Thanks

97 retro all star cards, in my opinion these are the henchmen they have to be, I have been behind SDS all year but I will say if these are the main cards then that's a huge L

Major L.

Not sure what to think about those. On the one hand they'd fit the pattern for this year. On the other it seems weird that current All Stars wouldn't be the main cards and flashbacks be the henchmen.

I love that people are so optimistic when SDS has given us multiple reasons this year to temper our expectations.

The only, only response I have to this is that TA 2 has always been the weakest one with 20, 21 and 22 all being Future starsand generally not that exciting which is then followed by the All Star TA that normally lights a fire under the game for a good bit.

They have but I still have a hard time believing they'd drop this big of a dud in what is typically one of the bigger/best content drops.
EDIT - Ok now I think these are the TA3 rewards. Separate program for current AS players with 92-97s as rewards. Acuna/Ohtani (if they're not POTM) as rare round in 50k AS packs.
I think that ticks all the boxes with this year's content model.

I guess we will see for sure in about 35 hours when they have their stream

35? It's tomorrow.

Why did anyone think otherwise? The formula wasn't going to change because of some stupid survey. You gonna 5 99s via xp program, then your [censored] 97s via TA3. Sit and spin man is what it is crapola foooooook

That was a wicked staff with the Tigers! That’ll be fun to play

It is a bit odd. Even the live event being right before all the content launches seems an odd strategy. Like if I’m showing up at noon I’m showing up at noon. So having a pep rally at 11 does not seem to be getting people hyped that would not have been getting on anyways. Why not the day before (today) so you pull more people in that might say “hmmmm oh THAT is happening at noon tomorrow ok well now I might have to jump on if I can”.

They have been doing the live content stream before release for a bit now so not anything crazy there I will say that sor season 2 they pretty much revealed everything before the stream so the actual stream was super flat cause there wasn't much to be surprised about so that could be why they are holding back.
I am trying to be optimistic here cause I love this game and I like the changes but those 97s that were revealed have me concerned cause as fun as that Gallo and would be as a main reward now would be hard for even me to swallow
