Mishandling of Negro League Content
-
@CBrev29 and SDS team. This post is not intended to complain, just to point out some issues of the way these AWESOME Negro League players have been treated within the game (Yes, I say that with a bit of irony). I will point out the when I say "mishandling of content", I am talking about the cards in Diamond Dynasty, NOT the awesome Storyline creations, card art, and story art. That is just awesome and I love it!
Here is what I mean:
-
Last year, when the content was first release, because their were 99's of the rip, the Negro league Story content was relevant for about 5 minutes, Awesome to earn and learn, but in the game, were not used hardly at all. I had hoped this year would change that.
-
This year, we get Josh Gibson and others, including the 1st Female player in a longer more drawn out program, which is fine, except 1) They release better cards of the same players in the program almost immediately (why?) and more importantly, the Negro league players have no value what so ever towards grinding out Team Affinity, which mean already the Storylines content usage will have been far reduced once again.
It stinks becuase these are core cards, and if they had any value toward Team Affinity, I would use them in a heartbeat and parallel them up at the same time, but even the better version of the cards (i'd love to play the entire Negro League lienup) are tough, because their value within the game has been crushed not not contributing stats to TA.
How could this be solved since they aren't attached to a team? Maybe have a separate Team Affinity for the Negro Leagues (with even more new players people can learn about?). Also, dont release better cards of the same players at the same time. More people will view these stories, without making it easy for them to get the player without having even watch and play the storylines. Release the better early version of the cards in the storylines as well (and have a separate Team Affinity for the negro Leagues, adding even more new player---as you know there are plenty of them, and your now only releasing 5-10 a season...give us more please!). If you did these things, I bet you WAY more people would play these awesome storylines and learn about the rich history Bob Kendrick speaks so elegantly about.
Thanks for reading.

They completely botched the NL players for the second straight year. I LOVED the Storylines experience. Extraordinarily made. Really loved the Motown music bed in the background - Set the mood perfectly. And of course Bob excelled as the amazing storyteller he is…My problem is this - You complete the mode and get all 85 overalls & the captain…Problem is they also put out the gamechanger versions that are vastly better than the 85’s even with their boost. It’s so disappointing. I know Ramone put his heart & soul into this & he has to be annoyed by whoever decided to release a superior set that can just be bought instead of having people spend time to watch & learn from Bob first.

I agree with everything said. I wanted asked, do the upgraded version of the cards that are out now work for the Capt Boost card we get in the NGL storyline? If so that could be a significant boost i would think maybe for Ranked DD Squads

@Bearsfan217 No, Only the 85’s get the boost.
