What this SDS’s plan all along?
-
I just looked through all the new programs and there are literally ZERO cards I want - ZERO. I’m seeing 97 versions of Chipper & Mantle and I asked myself - Was this really SDS’s plan all along? I know they had been very vocal about retiring cards when their set was up. But I honestly thought we would be getting even better 99 versions of those players or at the very least a similar card. I’ll say it - These 97’s are awful. Nobody is going to use these cards in ranked seasons. These are the cards that should have been released season 1…And the season 1 cards should have been season 3…To expect people to be excited to grind for WAY inferior versions seems odd.
Full disclosure - I was going to have one last fun weekend playing the show before I uninstalled it when Madden drops on Tuesday. I went ahead and just uninstalled it now. And between all the awesome games dropping in the next several months I know I won’t play The Show again until 24…But if 24 is the same setup then I’ll just play with regs. This has been just the most disappointing version of the game ever. Between the backwards content, The Mickey Mouse stadiums in online play, The two way disaster that took MUCH longer than it should have to resolve…I’m just burned out. I used to play the show year round. Not anymore.

97 with the right boost + parallel are practically 99s

You don't want 99 Fernando?
Fernando cards are fantastic, I'm all in on getting this one.

That's too bad you aren't able to find any cards you want. Today's content drop is pretty great in my opinion. Some really solid free 99s between the programs dropped today. I'm excited for it!
That’s awesome bud, Have fun.
-
I think these cards are for collections, events and BR. But that’s just me. I definitely get where you’re coming from though.

But let's be honest, it doesn't take that much to please you.

This was just a ton of cards to put towards the set 3 collection. I’m happy to get a good Helton card but I’ve barely played much in the last 2 weeks until today.
-
Halladay, Biggio, Snider, Fernando, Devers, Buxton, Larkin, DeGrom, Leiter…all amazing cards. That’s a huge content drop.

Do people know it’s possible to stop playing a game, without some grand announcement? Don’t want to play the game anymore? Don’t play it. Why the goodbye speech?

Because I want SDS to see what I don’t like about the game. If they keep track like most analytical businesses do then it is more likely to change based on the quantity of customer complaints. If there are say 500 others that posted something similar over the life of the game then that gets brought up at meetings on things to change.

Different for everyone I guess. Im still enjoying the game and think this is by far the best version of the game since 19. Content system wasn’t great but think the gameplay is a huge improvement over the past few years.
-
Ahh yes everything is for everybody

You have no problem with created stadiums in online play? Stadiums that make old Shippett look like Forbes Field.
-
I’d prefer to not have them but they have been in the game for a few years now so it’s not like it’s a downgrade from a previous version. I don’t see them that often honestly. The field that seems to pop up the most for me is that new one that is basically snippet 2.0. Woods something I think. I just think the hitting this year is a huge improvement over the past few. Generally don’t see off pci home runs and there are far fewer foul balls on the higher levels.

This week is probably the least I have played this game in three years and I had zero desire to start working on anything today. The design is just so odd. You play and play and play to earn cards most people have no interest in…just to complete collections to get a few cards you actually want. I am happy some people like the design, but it has had zero lasting power with me.

Maybe they are tryna cater to some of the newer players for the time being. Seems like they went too hard on season 1 lol but to be honest coming from mut and my team the variety of cards you can get is way higher content wise ! But I'll def be tuned in to see how Madden is this year. Prob be my first year away in a minute. Happy I'll have the show to hold me over though

They dropped 99s first to rope everyone in

End of the day there is not enough spread between player ratings. Most players should be more in the 85-95 range and fewer in the 96-99 range. Kinda like real baseball.
