I know there is a program this Friday but do we really think there will be a pack in that program ?
How much you wanna wager?
You know there might be a pack but i just want to see a "meaty" program like last year where it cannot be completed in one sitting or so . I mean last year we sometimes got 1 or 2 of the special packs from these type of programs plus much better rewards then this year.
If your only comeback at me is you wanna bet -- you have already lost and you have missed the point of the post so whatever fanboy.

Any particular reason anyone that doesn't agree with you is a 'fanboy'?
You have some valid posts and concerns; but you, at least in my eyes, lose a little bit of credibility when you refer to anyone that disagrees with you as a 'fanboy'.
And I don't mean to sound rude. Just offering some constructive criticism.

Historical comparisons: now you're talking my language!
Today is Day 41 of Release.
2023's Day 41 was May 3rd.2023 Total Cards Released as of Day 41: 476
2024 Total Cards Released: 4292023 Programs: 6 (for 83 cards) April Topps Now, Charisma, Mexico City, Starter, Great Egg Hunt, WBC
2024 Programs: 5 (for 35 cards, assuming you lump all the Season Awards into one): Season Awards, Starter, Great Egg Hunt, Jackie Day, Spring Breakout2023 For-Sale Packs: 7 (for 58 cards) + 24 Diamond Duos (12 packs w/ 2 cards each)
2024 For-Sale Packs: 11 (for 83 cards) + 12 Headliners (1 card each)So even though there has been some movement of cards from Programs to Packs, it's not as bad as some make it out to be. And that's ignoring as the season progresses, these packs are eventually going to be given away in programs, maps & miniseasons (as we started to see during the TA 1.2 Drop).

Because people certainly point to '23 as the epitome of the Show's greatness.

How can you say 35 and 83 are even remotely close? That is less than half the cards available from programs at this time compared to last year
I love your optimism that these packs are going to be in upcoming programs and maps. I really hope you are right, but how many of these special packs were in the latest conquest map?

Yeah, pretty significant difference that can be directly related to the packs. Last years packs were additional packs, mostly unrelated to the actual programs. This year there seems to be a pack for every program, taking cards we normally would have earned in the program and adding them to packs.
We've been able to earn 20 cards from season awards drops (not counting Witt) and there are also 20 cards in season award packs, which cuts our potential earnable cards in half. And this seems to be their plan for every program this season.
Then we have had 2 pipeline packs but no corresponding program.

@nflman2033
Offline rewards this year have been nothing short of pathetic. SDS is pretty much saying if you want cards either play online or buy stubs. That much has been crystal clear up to this point.

Your right I do use fan boy too much and looking back at the post you cited was not needed. I just got done writing the post above it and was still in that head space.
I can admit when I am wrong and on that one at least using fan boy was my bad --

Thank you for making the point ( and the Data ) a good portion of the people who are not happy with the CONTENT of the game that we have seen to this point. Since I am mainly an offline player the game play is fine sure some tweaks might be nice but rock solid for me at least.
I might not agree with your post but I appreciate the effort it took and unlike some debated me with data and not just sticking up for SDS blindly so again thanks.

Yes, that is exactly how I see it. Since I typically hate people and refuse to pay for PS plus, I am SOL. That's fine, I love the game and will play it. Just not sure I will be playing DD much longer if things don't change.

@BJDUBBYAH Is it being used above all star?
-
@SaveFarris You seem to know what your talking about and give good input on alot posts. Ill go with what your saying.
-
@AdeptOfMemory Willi Castro? Above All Star? 100 percent being used.
-
Guys … if you compare players just by their „points“, you do not get everything. Plus, value is not defined by math … A card is not better because of some addition.
Look at Castro … some top guys play them. We had a tournament, where the winner (Adam) played him in LF. Some other top guys play him.
But: That does not make him better than Niko. Niko is imo (<— and that is important) the better card. Is he worth 100+K stubs? I am not sure … I would not spend that much stubs and put in Castro without hesitation. I do not think that the plus in stubs is not worth the „added value“.
But again, that is my opinion and everybody can have their own.Conclusion: The good thing is, the we have a debate over this and that is the great thing about the current creep. No card (at least for me) is a must-buy to compete (important: We are not talking about legend difficulty
) -
@YOSHI24 thank you for laying out the ultimate point about these cards, they just aren’t “must haves” and that’s why I don’t personally care about these packs. I’ve just been buying the low tiers for collections and in case there is a collection for the program progress.
-
@x814xmafia its a defense mechanism
-
@BJDUBBYAH I'm not talking about Coop where he is forced to be used. He's not being used on anyone above 500 rank on average. He already passed out unless you use him in coop, BR, or trying to get xp for specific missions. You're wrong. He's not a bad card, I'm not arguing that. He's amazing in coop cause you have no other options since you can't fill his spot with a 90+.
In solo rank he's not a main care above All Star. -

In solo rank he's not a main care above All Star.The player that just won the content creator tournament had Castro in his lineup, as did other players in the tournament. Some of them are top players who play on HOF or Legend almost exclusively. I’m not wrong.
