I can only describe the content this year as lazy and disorganized cut and paste bs. It’s sad because there is so much potential to be great but instead things just feel thrown together with little forward thinking.
I don’t know if I’d call it lazy (myself), but it does feel like stuff thrown against the wall and see what sticks. Definitely.
-
So with how things are going so far, when TA comes out for the Finest series, I'm wondering are they also going to be 97s
-
Content this year - Same players every 2 months but there's a new picture on the card! This season's version feature what looks like bad dating app photos.
Also content this year - Bryce Harper's very good but goofy looking 99 Kaiju phases out today and is replaced with Bryce Harper's 97 Tinder photo.
Madness.
-
Justin Verlander with no arm candy.
Season 4: Fail.
-
This content structure was well thought out. It was all about the 99 being in packs and selling stubs.

Latest tweet had a video which basically confirms we will be seeing 97 TA bosses, a McGwire/Sosa HR chase program, and a Clemente day program.
I used to enjoy the TA "reveals", where SDS would slowly release the cards during the course of the week. Maybe they realize there will be a revolt due to the constant stream of 97's.

I have said my piece about the new card series (barf noise)
I think sets and season is still a cool idea in theory, it's practical application has been far less cool.
I think there is room for improvement one of which is the wild card, get ride of it and simple go with a system that only the eligible sets in the season will gain you progress. That way you can use any cards you want for RS but of you want progress in the Season 4 RS program only Set 3 and Set 4 cards help that. This way you can scrap innings altogether and make it stat and pxp based. I know that's not ideal for all but it's a push and pull, so to get ride of wild card and phasing out of sets you have to go with stats and pxp for program progress.
Also get ride of snap shot series we know these players by the name on their back and the colors they wear not 30 guys dress in suits.
My God this card series sucks
FYI Snap Shot series blows hard

SDS just sent out the exact same “lead up” collection tweet as yesterday. These guys are really on top of their game.

I really wonder what demographic section of people they are trying to allure with all these new series of cards? Do more children play this game than adults? Is it teenagers? Young people in their 20's? I know I'm older than most and I'm old school for sure but I have to wonder. It would be nice to know the majority of age groups that play this game. Although not everybody acts like adults on the forum, I would think the majority who post of this forum, Reddit and Twitter are over 21 and considered adults. My neck is sore constantly shaking my head.

I don't think sets can work unless they add a ton of new legends (which is unlikely due to the cost). With a limited pool like they have now there is far too much repetition.

What you say it true but you had to know from the beginning that we were going to see rinse and repeat cards with the lack of Legends in the game. Whose idea was it to put Jerry Hairston Jr in the game as a Legend? That is beyond laughable.

You're right, I did expect repeats but this is worse than I thought it would be. Everything is dupes now, only the picture changes.

You are correct again. Good cards in Set 1 then the repeats start showing up as 95's and 97's which is pretty azz backwards.

I think it can but it's based on what is done with the cards series themselves
I don't have an issue with the rise repart of cards that's fine of given a reason to use them. Events should only be for cards that would not normally be used in other modes so getting a Ricky Henderson captain card that is used events makes sense.
I keep saying series affinity programs are needed and can be simple programs for packs and stubs that refresh each season for example.
Give me a reason to use these other cards beyond some pxp mission for TA progress that isn't 2 or 3 games.
The all gold mini season has been my favorite content all year cause I got to use so many cards I otherwise wouldn't. That is what we need more of not just God Saud this and God squad that. Yes give the use of a God squad an option but if we are going with this format give me reason to build teams using the lesser version of a player.

Why does it feel like SDS isn't even excited about this.

Oh just you wait until the live stream!

Because they know most players have either left or are on the verge of burnout knowing what is coming. 97s are pure filler at this point to unlock collection rewards and coupled with the grind even hardcore players are losing motivation to play. I saw a post on here where numerous year round players are talking about calling it quits and I’m on the fence myself. I’ve grinded and flipped like crazy and just recently acquired all player cards in the game except for the topps now Drew Rasmussen that is still to come and I’m not excited about grinding for additional versions of cards I already have yet again.

Did anyone think the formula was going to change? We going into s4. Previous three seasons same format. Sds must be sending them surveys for next years game.
