And then the extreme program on Friday
With SDS completely watering down the difficulty level on showdowns, I anticipate this to be the easiest extreme program that they've released.
Even then, there's going to be multiple complaint threads on it being too difficult.
I hope I'm wrong.
No your not wrong, it will probably consist of lots of moments (people will complain), possibly a conquest map that must be played on All Star or above (not that hard to do honestly) same for showdown, and maybe a few huge time consuming XP missions with players.
I don't think it will be anything like the year were we had to beat all 30 teams on all star and then the extreme team on hall of fame and there was another game on hall of fame for Babe Ruth.
But...that wasn't the extreme program. That was a legend/flasback program that ultimately gave you Vlady Senior.
Extreme will be a showdown for one card, moments for a second card, and conquest for a third (if it follows previous years formula).
Last years program was a reward path, unlike what you laid out which was the historical norm
Yep, your point? Previous year (s) refers to plural, not a singular example. I do hope it's more reward path based, I feel like that allowed everyone to eventually complete it, even if it took much longer for some.
Fixed it. Now my point should he clear. SDS has shown they want everything obtainable to everyone to keep the casual complainers happy, so most likely same as last year where you can achieve without really achieving.
Casual complainers? Maybe, working moms/dads with kids who have limited time to play the game?
Not everyone is a 17 year old HS kid on summer break, or a college kid living at home until August.
I'm fortunate to have a lot of time to play, but the majority of the player base is not. I'm perfectly fine with them making the grind more accessible to the majority of the people who purchase and support this game.
I forgot how toxic this forum is lol. I'll be back in a month to remind myself.
Lol, I’m old, man. But it’s supposed to be very difficult tasks and if I can beat them, I deserve the reward. If I can’t, then I don’t. Some people are participation trophy mindset, others are not. Each their own. ( I am all for making them sellable though as that rewards those who can achieve the challenge and those who can’t are able to buy)

But....that wasn't extreme. You're confused. You are thinking of the "Old Timers Program" in MLB 20.
Extreme will be a showdown for one card, moments for a second card, and conquest for a third (if it follows previous years formula).
Interesting that you got two upvotes for completely false information. Welcome to the internet in 2023 lol
Your absolutely right, my bad. Ruth was the old timers program. Haha guess i'm not the only one not paying attention. Good catch though

For all the try hards that want a challenge try accomplishing something great in real life. This is a video game and I feel most of the player base treats it as a release from our daily grind. I do it to chill out not to push my limits. I do that in the gym and at work day in day out.

That’s a pretty ignorant statement to say people who want a challenge in a game don’t try to achieve anything in real life.
If your mindset is what you state, you should be perfectly fine not playing Extreme ( making your statement all the more confusing)

It’s called extreme. Every game should be on legend in conquest and showdown…
Should, it won't be
Agree, why I used the word “should”… SDS has made it very clear they do not want to upset the casual gamers with how they have eliminated all HOF events ( and the once a year legend ), as well as last years watering down of Extreme program.
Was there an Extreme last year?

@BiigD008_XBL said in SHARK?? SHARK!!:
I anticipate them being all show packs.
I wouldn't be shocked to "No Sale" reward packs!

My guess is it will be all 28 diamond duo packs, A All Star choice pack, a Home Run Derby Choice pack, and a guaranteed rare round Home Run/All Star Choice pack that will be non sellable. Plus a handful of regular packs and few ballin is a habit packs sprinkled in.
The clue does say 30+ packs are guarded by the shark.

I've never saw the love for the Shark map. Am looking forward to Extreme!!! Sorry to scream. I always see those guys from Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle when I see EXTREME.

There was, but it was a program where you got points for each task as opposed to a specific reward card for each one like prior years.
It allowed people to skip some
Of the challenges by jumping at gaining super high pxp missions. -
What packs will we get? That will be interesting

Not so much for Shark map itself, but it's usually the map where they turn on the Hidden pack spigot and they go from "Single Show pack" and "500 stubs!" to "Draft Pack" and "Alter Ego Packs".

I have 25 players not including the 100k+ ones to go in the NL hoping to at least get close to finishing that.

By casual complainers you mean the vast majority of their paying player base? The majority that they would like to keep playing as much as possible?
And here is a little secret, even a watered down extreme program is an achievement for many players. Just because you don't consider it to be an achievement does not mean that it is not one.
That's like telling someone who can't complete a whole marathon that a half marathon or a 5k or 10K race isn't an actual achievement to complete.

The very first shark map was bonkers with rewards, at least when compared to other maps during that year. They seemed to water it down some after that first year.
