Who was in the meeting when season 4 was discussed.

Agree that they could have made the clear choice here but unfortunately remained tone deaf and it will ultimately turn a lot of players off that were already burning out fast on the current system.

It’s the same exact (literally) longgggggg, painful grind using trash cards you really don’t want to. They could’ve mixed it up a little. It just feels like rinse and repeat. I hope it changes come playoff time
-
You know it’s bad when some of the biggest supporters are sounding like those of us that unfortunately saw this trend coming months ago. That is not a knock on anybody as we all just love baseball and want a game to be at its best.

Honestly I still don’t think the sets were a terrible idea, just the execution. In previous years I didn’t necessarily like waiting months for the really good cards. I think this would have been good if set one TAs were 96 with maybe a dozen or so 99s in other places in the game. Then set two TAs were 97s set 3 98s and now set 4 juiced up 99s. Then you roll into finest with tons of 99s. This way would have given some popular 99s early in the cycle but the 96 TAs would have still been usable and then as the cycles progressed the Team affinity cards get better.

Last night, I logged in, loaded up the TA4 East Showdown. Finished it, was bored to tears with the cards, and... went to bed at 10:30. Normally, I would have added the cards to my "TA" lineup and jumped into TA Conquest. I just can't do this again. This seems like "work". There's no progression. Like @Ericulous1_PSN said, in previous TA's, every one progressed with better and better cards. To grind TA4 again, with silly "Snapshot" cards... umm... I can't do it.
Wake me up when 2024 comes. Unless they do "Sets" again.

I wasn't happy with the idea of sets, but I was willing to give them a chance. I really think they would need at least 100 more legends to make this work. Repeating players has always been an issue, but it is way worse this year. This new content drop is about as exciting as a colonoscopy.
I'm still going to play a bit, but I'm quickly losing the desire to do so. I have 3 years of Game Pass Ultimate stacked up, and if next year of The Show is the same format, I probably won't even download it for free...

Your post speaks for many of us. I can't get excited for this nonsense any longer. The mindless grinding on Rookie or Veteran just to get the stats to finish the TA's is just not fun anymore. If this game continues this progression in the future, I'm out. Thanks for your post brother.

My wife said last night "I thought you were supposed to be starting a new series or something on your stupid game".
I said "I'm not even interested. And yes, now I consider it to be a "stupid game" too".
For one of the few times in the 25 years we've been married, I left her speechless. So, we just sat quietly with Netflix's "Quarterback" in the background and worked on a puzzle. That was way more satisfying than TA4. Finding a random piece and placing it perfectly? Just as good as a Perfect/Perfect.
BTW - if you haven't watched it, "Quarterback" is good. Even my wife likes it, so...
P.S. I'm sure someone at SDS is monitoring the game activity right now, and a red alert went up. "Why isn't arvcpa playing TA4? He always jumps right into the new content". They're probably using my MLBTS app to listen in on my conversations with my wife. "He's working on a JIGSAW PUZZLE??? Good Lord, what have we done with this "sets" thing?!?!".
Probably not. But I like to think that's what's happening.

This EXACTLY. I have zero motivation to play DD anymore. I was using Murakami and Trout and great 99's, but then have to grind for 95's that nobody wants.
DD has become, literally, a CHORE. I bailed on last season early and won't even start this one...!

I put my self in this list, I have defended or found the positive in most of the content but this season and the snap shot series broke me
I realize it's fake cards but man I play to build teams of players wearing their jerseys and logos and this just feels like a slap in the face. Maybe I am getting old and this is another sign I'm out of touch with what the younger crowd wants but if it is we are in trouble.
Add to that I just felt that stream was beyond disrespectful the way they hinted at stuff especially when talking about the 98 home run race stuff talking like we don't know who Mark McGuire or Sammy Sosa is. This was something I found super condescending normally something I can ignore but in this case it added to my frustration.
This game still has potential to be good and enjoyable but the adults in the room need to step up and have some hard conversations on changes that need to be made and quit with this GQ magazine garbage

Two days ago I would agree with you but now? The content is so terrible that it made me download tinder. Look what you've done SDS!

I tried to tell you guys in February I knew they couldn't do seasons/sets simply because the content would get to repetitive because unlike 2K they aren't utilizing licensing agreements like they should

Last 3 I have jumped into moments, showdowns and then conquest with the mission players. I do this only to get good cards to play online. Online is playing so bad I logged on last night, looked, quit the game and went to something else.
