Sets for the rest of the year
-
Maybe next year if they insist on "Sets" they could release the sets as decades or time periods so we don't get all the same guys again and again? Just a random thought

They probably do the same players in order for people to constantly have those players available. If they didn’t do Bob Gibson every set he would only be usable as a Wild Card from set 1.

I can't imagine how quickly I would get burnt out if I felt compelled to finish every program and every collection. More power to all of you who do that but it would quickly turn me off. People may scoff at my offline play, or my simple goal to get all of the good Cardinal Players but that lets me be far more relaxed in my efforts. Last weekend I finished the Career and Great Race programs and looking back I realized that they were the first I had completed since the June POTM program. For the Sept POTM I did one moment yesterday to get Jack Flaherty. I don't feel compelled to continue it if I don't want to.
That said, I am still not a huge fan of sets and seasons, at least the way they are currently implemented. I expect we might see some tweaks to formula next year but I don't expect them to go away, unless SDS just decided it was too much work for too little return. But I highly doubt that is an issue since people are obsessed with finishing everything.
-
I don't mind the sets. I do think they need tweaked but I am sure SDS is looking forward to next year. I don't think we need multiple cards of the same players over and over again. I have learned to play (not very well) with a variety of cards as I very seldom have the god cards that other people have and that even when I have the better cards I can get my rear end kicked. I guess that is where I would land. Variety over volume. Maybe one Core card for current players and one top of the line card. Spread them out and go from there.

There are a couple of roadblocks which is why we do get multiple versions.
-
There are just not enough players, current and past, licensed in the game to not have duplicates they are releasing several hundred cards every set.
-
Many people do want to play with their favorite players. As a Cardinals fan that would mean that I would be finished with Bob Gibson, Ozzie Smith, Jim Edmonds, Adam Wainwright and Jordan Walker when set 3 started and their 99 cards expired. I am already not thrilled that I have to do with lesser versions for 4 out of those 5 of those players.

Maybe shorten the "seasons"? If there are, say, 12 Cardinal 99's going to come out for the year, all different players along with various 98's and 97's you could release a couple every season, you might lose a couple for a few weeks but with the lengthened last season you might have them for longer? Just brainstorming

You can’t really shorten the seasons or you’d be on set 10 right now. Maybe you could break the season into halves?

You could shorten the season if you made the last season, which you could use all the players, much longer

i hear ya but on a more important note - how are you brother?!!?! great to see you still on this forum one of the last few left from the ole group !!!
I am peachy, my friend. Hope you are as well. Not sure how much longer I’ll be around on this game. Too much real life stuff going on. Jan. 2024 will mark a huge, positive change for me professionally, and I just won’t be able to play nearly as much. So little, in fact, it probably wouldn’t even be worth trying to keep up with the DD grind. So this is likely my last hoorah. Let’s get on a party soon, bro.
i am completely with you by the way !!! that was this year for me !!! i am 100% down with a party chat / game / stream whatever - big hugs and have a great rest of weekend - happy for you on the new work in 24

Shorter seasons could work if it was different sets available and not just current and previous

Kind of mix and match the sets. I like that but man would it get confusing to people who can’t get the way they did it this year.
