Anybody else waiting until the streams to preorder?

i stopped playing early this year. I was pretty much done before the break but it wasnt because of sets or captains. It was because of stupid flying monsters in the outfield and nicknames on the cards. Thats some weak [censored] to attract the casuals. No real baseball fan wants bugs and monsters in the outfield.
That said, ill preorder and buy the digital deluxe edition at launch like i do every year.

I spent way to much in time and stubs to acquire Ruth, Chipper, Mickey, etc to watch them sit on a shelf. I'm waiting to see that outcome as well.
I don‘t get that completely. In the 22 version, you did not get Ruth, Chipper, Mickey until late in the year. Now you got them early and lots of good alternatives later on (Core Griffey, J-Ram, …) … did that really matter? I suppose you could use them longer than in 22.
If they did not do sets/seasons, it would proabably only have changed for 1 of them (Collection reward, which most people only get in summer after release)
Don‘t get me wrong, I am just curious of why this is really a problem?Seriously?…Because he grinded relentlessly to get them & then once he did he was no longer allowed to use them online. How do you not see his problem with this?
He could use them. Just not all of them at the same time. A little bit of lineup creativity is nice for a change. I didn’t find it “a relentless grind” to get them but I get to play the game more often.

I think what @YOSHI24_MLBTS meant was that, before Sets, those player's 99s wouldn't have been released as early as they were this year. Chances are one, or even all of them, could've fallen under the old way of doing Mega Collection rewards. Meaning that they may have not been available until a few months into the game's cycle.

… what @X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN said
I get it but what‘s the difference to former years, where you had those guys probably not that much longer „in use“.What could be more boring than having your god squad in April ?!?!? You either do sets/seasons or power creep where the god cards mostly come out later in the year. Before 22 you had one of those versions, in 23 the other … Everything else would be boring as f…

I've been pre-ordering for as long as I can remember. I think I'll wait this year to see what's in store for 24.
Same for me. Last year was going to be the year I didn't get it but the addition of the Negro Leagues sucked me back in. I enjoyed that program but pretty disappointed how that aspect of the game just fell off a cliff.
-
I’m going to pre order. The sets thing doesn’t bother me, in reality the game is still very much the same as it has always been. In years past I never used cards I obtained in April online in July anyways so I wasn’t going to throw a fit over and quit playing a game I enjoy because SDS didn’t make me play with 92 overalls for the first 3 months
-
I’m going to wait until the off-season when the game is $10. It only takes a week or two to get a decent team together to play online, and the actual gameplay has been a disappointment for years.
Whatever works!

My man, I feel exactly the same. They finally acknowledge the Negro Leagues and then do them like that? A mode that you finish in a couple hours & a handful of players? HUGE L.

@YOSHI24 it's just that those are among my favorite guys to play with. It galls me to know I have them but can't use them. What's the point if you can't play with the players you want to? Just don't like that aspect of sets and Seasons.
-
I’ll preorder.
-
There's literally no reason for me to pre order . I have xbox and if it's free on Xbox I'll wait and I'll use the money I would have spent on the game on stubs.
-
I have endured the server issues of '15, the bunt cheese of '16, the 'be late-be great' of '17, the jersey collection dumpster of '18, etc.
However, this year's expiring cards format was the most disappointing to me, as far as content goes. Regardless, I do love baseball....so I will carry on and pre-order, as usual.
-
I’ll preorder the digital edition for my Xbox and the mvp physical edition for my ps5. If it comes to switch which I’ve heard it is and isn’t I’ll get a copy of that too. Idc. The poopiest MLB the show is still better than nothing
-
@LIONED-33 What's the switch for? When you're sitting in the back of mommies minivan in the McDonald's drive through?
I still can't believe some kid on a 4 inch screen gets to compete against $500 consoles and $500 gaming monitors.

I played this game year round the last 5 years and made it thru half of season 4 before tapping out. Haven’t played a game since.
Im not sure I will even buy it next year, more so see no reason to pre-order until possibly a day or so before release.
-
I'm preordering regardless because of the "perks" you get even if they don't have much of an impact on how you play the game... when I preorder is usually more financial than anything else but at the latest I typically preorder the day before the game drops unless there is an incentive in the current game to preorder sooner... for example getting a special card of the cover athlete to use in the current game before the new game releases like the did with Aaron Judge and I want to say a couple of other cover athletes got the same treatment... I believe they did it with Jazz last year if I'm not mistaken.

I am…I used to play The Show year round. This year I quit from Season 3 until now because I refused to accept their new rotating cards out of online use. I’ll wait until the streams and if Ramone says “ALL cards will remain usable online ALL year” then I’ll buy it. If not then I’ll pass. Just curious if others were going to hold off preordering for whatever reasons.
absolutely mate - i have been playing this game since inception - and next year will be based on exactly what you said - i have no interest in non stop grinding for cards - the way its designed currently is nonsense

@Oreo-Thomas You're alive! Happy New Year!

May I ask what the difference in grinding exactly is. To me 21&22 were more of a grind, because there was constantly new and better cards … until say October.
In 23, I used Set 1 in Season 1+2 and only bought Set 2 cards, when S3 came around. This way, I did not have to grind that much … and imo less than in 21/22 …
I am totally with you, that 23 was less fun … but I like the power creep -
@YOSHI24 For me personally I just didn’t like how I P5’d a 99 ovr player then I was instantly told - You can’t use this card you grinded anymore, Instead you can grind this 97 ovr lesser version of the SAME PLAYER. Just ridiculous.
