So we're basically grinding 2 months nonstop for cards that will be useless within a couple weeks?

    Folks are going to be burned out grinding TAs over an over is going to be my prediction. 3 mini TAs grinds per season of the same stuff is going to get boring unless they change it up somehow. I mean daang im already bored

    @Bearsfan217 The Ta's fly by this year, i have barely even tried to complete the TA's and finished the the AL east already, once you get the bossess the grind just flys by, this is nothing like last year and again, the cards overalls will rise each season, this way is the same as not have a season, you ddont want to use these 89's in July do you?

    Right. I'm not sure if TA all year round is more of a punishment than a blessing, lol. It might be better as a Monthly Awards structure that you pound and get done with.

    In fact, the slow grind itself might be the problem. The best natural rhythm of DD might just be intense grind then nothing (i.e., enjoy your cards).

    This year I really FEEL the whole "attention economy" thing. Especially with nerfed XP and caps. It's gross.

    @SuntLacrimae50 TA has so many different ways to grind, and is 100x faster this year and i mean in this is with offense, but what do you want? Do you want them to just give you cards? TA is and always will be the best for no money spent players, you don't have to strictly play single player anymore you can get so much TA points just by completing multi player missions, TA is really good this year.

    I do not get it. You gotta „work“ a little and get the TA-Bosses … lots of them make lots of teams very good/better … At the end, you will get the Season-Bosses … which you can use some time and Wild Card the next season. Then you will got other cards to build up and have fun again, but on a higher overall basis …
    I can only speculate that some guys here are creating problems … to have them 🙂

    And I do not get, why the Innings should do any better. Nobody used the inning bosses a significant amount of weeks long when 21 was out. But maybe that is too far back that nobody remembers correctl.y 🙂

    @Dankmaymays If you want to keep using your 89 overall players you grinded for in July go for it, I'll be using the newer better cards dropped in season 2 as will most everyone else.

    I thought when the new Season starts they go back to the power creep? Or are they starting out with 90s; since this Season started with 89s?

    @YOSHI24 I'm convinced some of these guys never changed their line ups in the past, cards from april do not need to be used all year long nor why would you want to keep using a flawed 89 all year

    @x814xmafia They already said (maybe you should listen to the streams), that S2 will start probably with 92/93

    @x814xmafia They'd build up as the year goes on like last the previous shows, as time goes on TA cards will get better, and better. Thats thr power creep model.

    I disagree. It's fine for right now but doing it 3x per season? Going to be tough to swallow heading into season 2 IMO

    @chucky97___ Why are you talking about 89 overall players? Im talking about the 99 bosses you get and the S1 collection 99 rewards that you're gonna get at the end of the season. Nobody is complaining about losing 89 overall players that you can get on day 1.

    You intentionally being a dimwit to try and defend SDS on this or are you naturally this slow?

    Oh I get it, and it's fine. It's a design decision. My discomfort is more general, it's with the "attention economy" and "audience capture" in culture generally. I can feel SDS/DD trying to do that here more than in previous years, maybe. Any persistently online mode will try to find newer and better ways each year to keep you "loyal" -- on the drip.

    I think modes like this have a sweet spot for the player, but companies can't allow that sweet spot to just be, because there's always incentive to do more/better (=make more money). I feel that this year...maybe because I'm more sensitive to it generally all around us.

    All good.

    But we are in the same place as last year with very similar teams. It's like the WBC set all over again. Most teams are made up of Buxton, Beltre, Clemente and the Spring Breakout players.

    @biscodisco it's almost as if diamonds are limited right now, and the game just came out, you'll see more cars as the season goes on.

    @chucky97___ no way!? The game just came out?! And people are "grinding" for the same exact rewards? Let's revisit this in a month when all of those new diamonds are out and people have the same exact squads with those new diamonds.

    The easiest fix to all this is limit ranked like events. For example, no more than 5 cards of any value like 5 for 89, 5 for 90, etc. Each season you get the wild cards that you can use any value for, so theoretically you can have 9 99's it still need to grind them out. To keep pxp relavent, the original value of the card is the value. Any level you grind is a bonus to the player. So if you have a 96, you get an extra 99 if you P5 it.

    This literally solves the problem for everyone - keeps people grinding, people who are goats play with more 99's, and SDS makes money.
