    Yeah this game has been like watching paint dry so far. It wouldn’t be as bad if these reward path cards were better. I wonder how many people are skipping to their consoles over stimulated with joy to unlock Bruce Sutter lol

    CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077 is affixed in the top spot, followed by EA's Battlefront 2.

    I don’t understand how I’m not reading about broken pinpoint. Some pitchers can’t throw pinpoint at all especially fastballs. Additionally, I’ve had my outfields and defense make absolutely comical errors. The balls goes right through them. Or a simple tiny infield pop fly they get under and it just goes right beside there glove. I played between 700-900 on 23. In complete [censored] at this game. The games [censored]. It’s not finished.

    @xElRojo44x

    There's about 10 different EA games with much worse launches over the last console generation alone.

    Hopefully people learned to stop paying full price to beta test a game

    Are you guys having the same defensive issues as I am ? It’s really bad. And there are an absolutely ton of balls hit down the middle. It also feels way too easy to hit this year. Gonna be a home run derby every game.

    Bro, I was happy to unlock him only to put him in the collections. I will never pitch with that but card.
    Also, as a Phil's fan, I'll never use that Ryan Howard card. There are at least 12 better cards to use..

    Most of the player rewards aren't that good to use until u get to the 99's.

    I also love how the collection reward cards go from
    30 = 89 Craig Biggio, which is good against Lefties, but meh vs righties.
    70 = 91 John Franco with a great H/9 and PCLT, but only throws 93 mph to,
    (((((((270))))) which isn't obtainable right now..
    Why isn't there at least 3-4 more cards in between 70-270???
    And who would care to collect after 325? There are no stubs, no xp, nothing except for a ridiculously stupid Muppet icon..

    Seriously, whoever was in charge of these rewards should be fired immediately. They clearly have no idea what they're doing.

    Just because you dont like the rewards doesnt mean its a bad launch.

    Realistically this game doesnt crack the top 100 worst launches for the current decade, but thats because the industry is in a sorry state right now.

    They’ve made entire documentaries about this one. It destroyed an entire company. They have an entire landfill of these suckers. I’ll agree with you.

    It's incomplete,if you read the text in the s1 collect screen it says they will be adding rewards to it.
    I bet they will be real good,if they are staggering them like this.

    Worst launch ever for a video game? This is no where near as bad as GT7. It isn't even the worst MLB the Show launch.

    @BalsamicArrow88 The game plays fine, there havent been any serious server outages. If you dont like the content, that means you're the fool who spent money on it. They showed us what we were getting.

    I missed this. Thanks for the heads up.
    I'll take what they said back when I see more cards being added.

    I haven't bought the game, but from what I'm seeing online it's not even close to the worst launch ever.

    Battlefront Classic Collection launched with half the cutscenes missing in BF2, games crashing, and people not being able to play online (which was the biggest selling point). No Man's Sky was launched without multiple features advertised, and barren planets (did make a comeback though). SimCity 2013's launch literally had the game as unplayable, and was a reason it's studio shut down 2 years later. WWE 2K20's launch was so bad it was a reason that 2K21 got cancelled. Battlefront 2 (2017) led to the most downvoted comment in reddit history, I'm sure they wore that with a sense of pride and accomplishment, that game had a great comeback.
