Please don't bring back Sets in MLB 24
-
@Invinitee its a video game you make it seem like its unbearable. SO you couldnt use the same cards from launch at the start of the year oh no! They game tried something different, Sets are awesome, I loved 99s day one, DD isnt ment to be played with low overall cards.
-
@chucky97___ If they wanna keep Sets then they can at least make the Set collection cards as Core cards
-
@Invinitee why what's the purpose of a wild card spot then? What would be the purpose of even upgrading your team if in 3 sets you ad 9 core cards they were stacked 99 god tier end game player type cards?
-
@Invinitee I think they should make manager cards instead of captains and let the managers be boosts.

Expiring cards, within an annual game cycle, is not "awesome".Not being able to keep a theme team due to half of your lineup being expired, is not "awesome".
Not being able to p5 a card in competitive gameplay because its expired, is not "awesome".
Having to grind, or purchase, three versions of the same card, is definately not "awesome".
You do not have to have Sets or expiring cards in order to have 99's Day 1. Sets were implemented for the sole purpose of more revenue.

Absolutely spot on. Chucky has been a very strong supporter of SDS since day 1 on this forum this year. One of the few remaining white knights willing to defend SDS to death. Everything you said was valid and Chucky will disagree with anything that puts SDS in a negative light. All of us that love baseball and really enjoyed this game at one time see the negative path SDS is heading down and when we call it out for what it is we get labeled and told to just “get good” and stop complaining. In the end a huge amount of players won’t be back in 24 and SDS is counting on new players to fill the gap. It’s a shame buts it’s the path that leads to the most revenue borrowing a page from the EA playbook.

@TripleH-4481 Again you're showing how much you've never played an EA Sports game. THIS GAME IS no where near EA's level of pay 2 win. We want better and new legends, guess what SDS needs more money to pay them, I'm not white knighting, I'm just saying this game you all complain about isn't near that level, its a video game not a job.
-
@xElRojo44x Sets were implemented because SDS was trying to get players to have more team diversity, they failed on execution but the sets process is there, they need to execute better so there's less repeats. Sets made every new season feel like it was launch day.

I don't think they'll work if they drop a bunch of 99s Day One. But then you will have people complaining that the cards aren't rated high enough or they won't want to grind for low end cards.
It's just like you mentioned: Some will complain.

I think Seasons screwed up Sets. Seasons could have been 3 seasons long. Season 1 up to the All-Star Break, Season 2 through the Postseason, Season 3 - The "Forever" Season. Sets 1, 2, 3 be used in Season 1. Sets, 4, 5, 6 (If there is a set 6) Season 2. And All available for Season 3. Would've given more time for each Set to be viable...The Lull at the All Star Break is the perfect time to do the last minute heavy grind to finish a season before the new one starts.
You can still have your breaks where the Sets Change to implement different types of cards
-
I don't think sets and seasons are, at their core, a bad idea but I do believe that they were not well implemented this year.
We have to face facts as players.
-
They are never going to have enough unique players in the game to cover 6 sets without a large number of repeats. We can all say "Go sign more legends." but history shows that won't happen.
-
Going back to the old method is going to mean they go back to their practice of ramping up their overalls throughout the year to keep it interesting. We'd go back to 85-87 in the first month, then 87-89 the next month etc.
-
There will be some large group of players who will always be dissatisfied. That is not a new thing this year. It is kind of arrogant to think that my ideas or your ideas to improve the game is going to be well received by all players.
In the end what really matters to SDS are their metrics. They should have the metrics to judge how well the game is or isn't doing this year compared to previous years. Are players staying engaged, are they completing programs, taking part in Ranked Seasons or events, are they completing collections. Are they spending their stubs? Are they buying stubs? Are they buying packs? Those metrics will be the determining factor on the future of sets and seasons far more than complaints on the forum
