When season 2 starts…this is gonna be rough

That speaks volumes right there. Many long time players have seen the steady decline. Sadly SDS doesn’t seem to care about the long term casual players. They are going for the sweats, streamers and new blood willing to spend or live on the game and shell out money for stubs. It’s the path all sports games inevitably go down. The game is still fun but not like it was and nowhere near as rewarding for time invested into it.

I'm leaning towards not playing Season 2. I already am playing much less. I have not even finished the last 3 Season Awards drops yet.
I just got my first three 99's a few days ago (Ludwick, Nootbaar and Helsley) it cost me more than half of my stubs. Of course I can only carry one of them forward until I find out what it takes to unlock all of the wildcard slots, but I have a feeling, like everything else this year, that those slots won't be easily achievable for us more casual players.
I feel it, man. I feel it. This year's release has been one of the biggest L's I can recall in a long time, and I'm counting the initial let down of NMS in '16
What happened in '16?

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X No Mans Sky was a mega hyped exploration game that ended up sucking major a$$. Kinda like TS 24

It didn't actually suck, but it did fail to deliver on the promises made by the developers which killed the game for many.
It is a much better game now and they have redeemed themselves but it never actually sucked.

No Mans Sky, the Cyberpunk release disaster comes to mind as well.
Both rebounded strongly, SDS is not capable of that however

Exactly right, which is why I want to emphasize "initial" letdown. @X-FREEZE-OFF-X it was so hyped, and so pumped by its devs. Trailer looked epic, they promised so much...and it just crashed and burned because they got all sorts of preorders and whatnot, and just failed to deliver on so many levels, and that's not even counting the numerous bugs it was released with. As @Dolenz64 said it's a way better game now, but it shouldn't have taken almost 8 years to reach that point

It didn't take all 8 years for the game to reach that point. It took several for sure but a lot of the things added in the last 3 or 4 years have all been new extra stuff.

Just wait until tou have to unlock thr other 3 WC slots in the XP Path.
Then what's even better is when S3 starts and you revery back to one WC spot and have to unlock the other three again.

If they made missions for upcoming TA's where you could use season 1 cards to help accomplish the goals, and allow season 1 to be used in 2.1 before closing the window and introducing the wild cards in 2.2, then they could course correct.
It won't happen, but it's plausible.
