Would be nice if they could somehow be assigned to one of the MLB teams to get TA xp and credit. Could go by city or other affiliations. I want to use them since I have all of them (from the packs), but it’s difficult to make that decision while grinding so long for TA and the other programs. I think it’s a big oversight. Surely there’s a creative way to make it work.
I bet the whole time these guys were playing they were thinking the same thing.

I brought this up last year with the WBC players not affiliated with a team. I wanted to use a lot of the Japanese players but grinding for programs took precedent.
-
Agreed. There should just be a separate PXP mission for using NLB cards or a voucher.
-
Seems like it’s typically like this when it comes to the legends of the game. Wish it twernt

Once you get them they don't help you earn anything ..except wins I guess
I completed the Spring Breakout Tasks with Josh Gibson, Toni Stone and Henry Aaron.
-
@BxnnyMxn_ no it's not..the other legends are affiliated with a team
-
@fubar2k7 how? Thought it had to be spring breakout players?

I haven’t played anyone but those 3 at those positions and earned all 15 points for the tasks.

Are there supposed to be more of these negro league series cards being released? Rube Foster's captain card can't even get to tier 2 the way it is now.
-
Yeah, for position specific tasks, they’re alright.

There are 8 new ones,we currently have 4 of them with the other 4 coming in about a month.
The ones from last year will also be in the game but they haven't said how or when on those yet. -

I found this out as I did the Storylines last night. Weird how the tier 3 is unavailable ATM. Really weird.
-
I think alot of ppl will be done the team affinitys soon then they might start ising them a little
-
I'd love for them to release something for each negro league team. Collections etc. I love the addition of the negro league and want more.
-
Honestly, because of the irrelevance of the cards in DD I didn't play the Negro League Storyline other than to get Josh Gibson. Even that sucked when I found out after that I could get the better card in the free pack. Really poor execution.

All 4 cards get you a Captain Rube Foster card, all of which are Core, and you can assume there will be a Core collection at some point.
I think the storylines were fantastically executed, maybe try going into it with less of an entitled “what’s in it for me” attitude, and you might enjoy a video game for what it is.

The 85 overall to start means when u get there from Storylines they are already useless

That's exactly my point - it's a game. If you're going to invest the time and money into an interesting part of baseball history, connect it better to DD so that those of us who just play DD are more inclined to play the mode and learn. I'll eventually play them all, but I'm in no rush because of the DD grind.
