Here's my take on the blog:
W's:
- "some of the highest rated Season 1 cards will be 91 OVR at launch"
- This brings back value to the Live Series Collection 99's!!!!
Having 0 incentive to collect for Jeter / Sosa last year was a bummer. The first month or so of the game for me will be flipping cards, grinding and completing LS collection for a huge advantage of having 3 99's going up against 91's. Love this!
- extra special Core Card Collection Rewards of Legends and Flashbacks, including a special launch collection featuring our MLB The Show 24 cover athlete Vladimir Guerrero Jr.!
- One of my suggestions has come true, needed more core cards in the form of collections!!
- "These four Cornerstone Captains have unique team building boosts for your dream team archetype, so choose wisely"
- Cornerstone captains seem like they'll apply boosts to wider variety of cards. The captains last year were laughably useless in most cases
- "Ranked programs will feature sellable rewards, including a new exclusive program player reward for you to earn in Ranked solo or co-op gameplay."
L's
- 3 new TA's each season? This seems like a ton of grinding again...we shall see.
- No new game modes...again, hopefully they revamped ranked a bit but it doesn't seem like it.
- It's pretty much the same game with a better version of "sets".
TBD's
- Wild Cards slots (up to 4 total) from the Season XP Reward Path beginning in Season 2.
- I don't know why we'd need 4 wild cards if the new season 2 will bring higher overall cards. In other words, why would I want to be using 4 91's at the All-Star Break right as they release 30 new TA cards (presumably at 95 ovr. minimum). Nonetheless I guess its good to have the option, and good for theme teams!?!?.
- mentiones "earning" LS collection with the sticks??

My speculation is that they'll divvy up the existing grind into 3 parts. (In 23, each TA was worth 150,000 points. It'd make sense to have each 24 TA "Chapter" be worth 50K.)
I also know in 2021, if you hadn't finished a TA by the time the next won dropped, they'd go back and up the amount you could get rewarded. I hadn't completed ALE TA1 by the time TA2 dropped, and I noticed that completing the PXP amount for each team went from getting you 5,000 TA points to 10,000.
(This may or may not have existed in 2023, but I completed them all before each new one dropped, so I never went back at looked at old mission points).
They could theoretically use that in 2024 to up the amount of points earned for Chapter 1 stuff during Chapter 3 and so on and so forth.

I don’t know how I feel about the TA changes. I really hope that they don’t make it so we can’t complete TA for 8 weeks until the final part comes out.
I hope each chapter is its own thing. Imagine if they locked your progression in the main program. Sorry you already have you 100k xp this week you can’t progress anymore.
I don’t like the drip feed style of content. Obviously topps now moments I can understand being that style because it’s things that have happened.
