More Shop packs today -- woohoo (SDS U SUCK)
-
While I am not a huge fan of the constant packs I do found less upset over this pack release because we got something earnable yesterday with the conquest map and then the program on Friday.
Pack will always be something that gets added that's part of this deal but if it's balanced with stuff we can earn in the same week then it's better
The argument about the best cards being included in the pack is hard to have because it's subjective but I keep seeing Gold Willie Castro in RS see best card is subjective
-
@CDNMoneyMaker93 some people will never be satisfied, no matter how much free content is given out. SDS literally can't win with some people and it's really just sad IMO.
The "best" cards?
If you finished a conquest map yesterday, offline play against the CPU on whatever difficulty you want, you got a free reliever, with a five pitch mix featuring a sinker and a cutter, with 125 H/9, 110 clutch, 99 velo, 101 K/9......
Some would say, a meta card.
-
@BJDUBBYAH Yeah if that Graveman card was in a pack there would definitely be some complaints that they put one the best cards behind a pack...
-
I blame all the early adopters of ultimate teams concept. Once they (sports games developpers) saw the weaklings taking the bait, the "good old days" were done.
-
@Pergo Compare it to 97 Dustin May, 93 H/9, 98 Clutch, 99 velo, 94 K/9.
Graveman, attribute wise, is literally a better card. lol
-
@CDNMoneyMaker93 1 earnable card with however many have been in packs this week is balance?
-
@BJDUBBYAH The May card is actually a starting pitcher, not a reliever.
-
@blitz77tw here is my argument to you. You’ve logged over 400 hours on this game. A game that I’ve never read a single positive post from you about. SDS puts these packs out, and people buy them, they wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t working. Your anger comes across as jealousy of people who can afford to buy them. If you hate SDS so much, you’re really not showing it with the amount of time you spend playing their game.

Welcome to Pack Creep
-
@Tadow9 A starting pitcher with worse attributes yes.
-
The Goodrum is a 97? Could have sworn the year it was dropped it was an 88.
Gotta love the ratings boost.
-
@BJDUBBYAH In the game most of the time starting pitchers have more stamina than a reliever, similar to real life. Lots of time relief pitchers strike out more batters and throw harder but starters can throw more pitches in a single game. That is the case here, Dustin May can throw more pitches than Graveman, that’s why he’s a more valuable card.
-
@Tadow9 Yes, I do understand the difference between a starting pitcher, and a relief pitcher.
-
@Tadow9 Lets do a different comparison.
84 Rookie Willi Castro vs. 97 Niko Goodrum.
Both switch hitters which is nice
Niko is going for a Buy Now of 156999 on the market, or you can gamble with the packs, vs. Willi at 22498 on the market, or you got him in the previous BR.Willi: 104 CON R, 119 CON L, 69 POWER R, 66 POWER L, 49 VIS, Which makes the card eligible for the Buxton boost. Which gets the Power up to 84R and 81L, 115 clutch, 60 fielding, 65 arm ,54 reaction, 83 speed with 55 steal. So, not the greatest fielder.
Niko: 91 CON R, 125 CON L 95 POWER R, 84 POWER L, 79 VIS, 91 CLUTCH, 96 fielding, 88 arm, 99 reaction, 85 speed with 55 steal.
Niko is by far the better fielder, but, 97 overall vs. 84 overall? because of fielding?
I'm not going to waste stubs on Niko, when Willi is just as good of a card.
-
@BJDUBBYAH I’m not sure what you’re talking about, I just assumed you were new to baseball because you were comparing starting pitchers and relievers. I personally think the Nico card is better though.
-
@Tadow9 I'm not new to baseball. Thanks.
-
@BJDUBBYAH wait, are you comparing a boosted card against an non boosted card? Unfair comparison
Should they just remove boosts from the game so that you don't have this issue?
-
@Dolenz I listed the stats, with and without the boost, for Power. And I have no problem with "boosts" as I run theme teams with captains quite often. Twins and Giants. I'm not sure what issue you're referring to?

@Skarmaen said in More Shop packs today -- woohoo (SDS U SUCK):
@CDNMoneyMaker93 1 earnable card with however many have been in packs this week is balance?
Balance may not have been the correct word but basicly what I am saying is that we are gonna get new packs all the time that is just reality but if it's accompanied with stuff we can earn then it's better then we have been getting.
As far as content this week has the potential to be a step in the right direction of things to do vs getting new packs.
I want to enjoy this game and am willing to beleive things will adjust from what the first 4 weeks have been but I also conced that SDS hasn't done anything to earn the trust it will get better
