@SuntLacrimae50 Thanks. The last paragraph did reference to some specific bullet points stating that DD is fun again, because I can build my team slowly (which 23 did not have). I should have been more specific
EDIT: To the gatekeeping. I do not have an exact opinion on that but I do not understand what most of the people make with their stubs? I get the impression, that most of them buy packs and complain afterwards, that the results are bad. I could be wrong
To the first part, totally agree. I love power creep. It plays more like BB than HR derby.
To the second, I don't think you're right. Lots try to buy out the LS collection or flip to buy cards they want. Gatekeeping stubs makes both much harder, incentivizing stub purchases.
-
@TubaTim90 So, it's not an impossible situation for SDS.
I'm pretty sure most people would be okay with pack-only cards that are ahead of the power creep if they wouldn't gatekeep stubs and xp like they are.
They don't even have to release those packs as rewards. Just loosen the grip on stubs a bit.
And don't steal people's equipment or make high-value equipment unsellable without a "no sell" sticker, lol.

@Vipersneak, clearly you're much more in the know on all of this, so I'll defer to your expertise... but since we have the luxury of having such a well-connected forum member to mete out the inside juice, I'm curious: how much gross profit does SDS generate on game sales, and taking those game sales into account, what's that look like compared to their operating expenses and overhead? How would you compare their standing with regard to financial backing to, say, Bioware and Square Enix?
I don't play either of those games you cited, though, so I don't know a lot about them... what do their free weekly content drops look like? That's pretty cool that they don't charge for any added content after that initial release.

And for the love of God, put some of the packs in a program this time!! No standard and Jumbo packs.

The game is much worse than this time last year. Last year I packed Trout, Betts, and 99 Mickey. This year, I packed 27 diamonds and only 2 blues,,, 14k Mickey twice...
I actually had to "earn" and "grind"
for my stubs. Unlike last year. This is why the game sucks more than last year...I'm totally joking. Honestly, I actually enjoyed playing through all the content this year. There are many things I don't like, but there are some positives thrown in. I enjoy the cornerstone captain boosts. I enjoy hitting more homeruns since I think MLB 19? Or 18? When we were hitting hr's a foot out of the strike zone, and the swing late, be great days, lol.
Moving forward, I'd like to see more meaningful content, pitching accuracy tuned, fielders not dropping ez fly balls, infielder running 3 steps before deciding to throw the ball, etc.
Hopefully SDS also gets less greedy with making us buy those 40k packs. At least allow us tp earn 1 to try our luck.. -

I don't share the same "Stub shortage" crisis opinion. I'm at about 135k stubs. Granted, I do tend to hoard my stubs and only spend on live series players...

It's not an opinion. Stubs are being given out much more sparsely this year. Reward packs with sellable cards, like in Conquest and the programs, are also MIA. It's a real thing. Crisis is your word, not mine. But SDS gatekeeping stubs is undeniable.
That you're an exception doesn't negate the general trend/direction.

True... But I guess it speaks to my cleverness, rather than the "general trend/direction" of giving up and complaining before actually putting in effort.

Lol, okay, O Clever One. Too funny, in a pathetic way.

I’ve got plenty of stubs as well. Just have to play the game and manage your inventory. Sell dupes, flip a little bit. Add in some pack luck. I’m certainly not going to expect to just be handed everything for free.
