I’m money spent. I know it’s frowned upon
Not frowned upon - "you do you"!

We never thought Sosa or McGwire would be in the game either. Maybe one day Barry changes his mind or gets nagged by a family member to give his rights up to SDS so he could be in the game. One could dream.
Sosa & McGwire didn't opt out of MLBPA licensing during their playing careers. Barry did.
I'm not a "Never Say Never" guy (unless the topic is Pete Rose), but it's hard to see a scenario in which Barry finally says 'yes' and joins the Legend Roster.
He was Reggie Stocker in this game not Jon Dowd. That was his fake MVP Baseball player.

I loved reading through all of this. There are some great ideas here. My journey will begin on Thursday at 9 pm, so I will get my snacks and Reign ready to go beforehand.
Here is my list:
- Open pre-order and Twitch packs
- See where I sit with LS collection, maybe buy a few cards if they aren't too much.
- Sell all dupe cards
- Fill out and revise spreadsheets for '24
- Do Storylines
-
I'll come on this forum to see how many folks are complaining and what they are complaining about.

For me:
1.) Take a look at the teams to see which teams only have golds or lower.
2.) Rip all of the pre-order packs to see if I get lucky and pick gold players from the free packs that correspond to a team with only golds or lower.
3.) Put my best lineup together and get working on the Conquest map. I like knocking that thing out early before the other game modes start bogging me down.
4.) Negro Leagues Storylines
5.) Derek Jeter Storyline- not buy
- check the forum
- read how everyone is feeling on it
- go about my day
- be happy i didn't waste my time or money on the new game

@GixxerRyder750 You're right, and I didn't mean to infer that he WOULD be, I was more suggesting guys who are like that generally too good to be gold for long. My bad for making about as clear as mud there.

That's a given. We should also start a pool to see when the first "I picked the same TA player twice" post hits. I'll go with Friday morning, 11:08 EST.
You would think the pre-orderers would know better, but... No.

- Curse myself for buying the game.
- Rip packs to work towards the LS collection.
- Curse myself for buying the game.
- Check out Franchise and be disgusted.
- Play some single-player DD.
Not buy and then check the forum -- really? Doomscrolling so you can post "Told ya so!"? If you really don't care, then just do 1, 4, and 5. It's more of a waste of time to not buy and then lurk -- just saying.

You can't. Only available on next gen consoles. He probably also gave a PS or Xbox account.

Up until a few weeks ago, I fully expected to pass on The Show 24. The burnout from all that redundant TA grinding finally hit me after several years of playing through the entire game cycle.
Then they announced the Jeter storyline program and the inclusion of Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neill and Andy Pettitte. Being a diehard fan of the Yanks who grew up on those 90s teams, they suckered me right back in.
I was a pretty hardcore completionist when it came to collections and all that in 2020-23, but my plan for this year is to be more laid back and not obsessive. My goal is to play more casually and focus on acquiring as many Yankees cards as possible. Bernie is my favorite baseball player ever so I am looking forward to whatever card we get of him from that Jeter program on day one.
