Wildcards wont matter in season 4 anyway because all cards from all seasons will be eligible for any game mode.
Are we sure? I did not pay attention yesterday when I started the game but saw this on a stream yesterday. Looks like it will be January before they open it up to use any card.
Yes. From the dev blog May 23rd.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY SEASON 1 PLAYER ITEMS WHEN SEASON 2 GOES LIVE?
All of your Season 1 player items will remain in your Inventory, and you will not lose any items as the new Season begins. They are still useful in many modes, as we mentioned earlier.Note: All cards will become eligible in all modes again in Season 4!

Well then they need to clear things up. Having two official sources contradicting each other is not good.
For now I will, as usual, error on the side of being cynical and assume that there will be a season 4 since that splash screen is more recent than their dev blog. I do hope that I am wrong though for everyone's sake.

Wheres the contradiction? The graphic you posted has season 4 listed from November 22, 2024 until December 31, 2037. There is no season 5. Season 4 is a 13 year program.

But it also shows the limitation of S4 and Core cards. Why show that if all cards are eligible. Also why give it an end date? Shouldn't the last season be open for the duration of the game?

I will wager that SDS will take the 2024 servers down before 2037. That's my "lock of the year"!

I liked last year's model where there was an overlap between seasons
I dont really like using live series cards because they have a generic feel to me, so filling out a lineup now is rather limited. Core cards are a thing I know, but I tend to be resistant if I feel I am being forced/expected to do something.
I think it will be better after the programs next week when there is more choice (hopefully)
I don't mind the power drop, I'm not playing with 99s most of the time anyway.

Yes last years model was light years better than this

I think the haters on this topic don't play other sports ultimate team modes. Because if they did they would know this is the least pay to win model by far. The season long power creep is a nonstop pay to win carousel until the last months of a game. This model is much more consumer friendly.
Maybe. But it's not to those who don't have the time to offer. That's why the model works for SDS so well. Don't have the time to grind AGAIN for free?? Just buy the cards. And don't get me wrong, if you got the money that's pretty good but let's say you don't have time OR money OR desire to grind for reprints, then it sucks major a$$ hole.
They don't have alternate ranked modes for you to use your entire library that you worked for. It's pretty frustrating but I've learned to cope because I simply stopped playing by their sets and seasons model. They don't let you pick the whole team you want in co-op. They don't offer PxP to your co-op partners, only the host. They don't offer PxP for casual and the XP is more than cut in half. There are ZERO rewards for casual. And I don't play BR cause it's a sweaty [censored] show of bombs and people out of your league since there is no MMR for br.
There's a laundry list of issues outside of the scope you're seeing the sets and seasons in.It works only for those who have time to grind and those with money. That's fine, for those types of players.

I missed the 2037 part. But that still leaves the question about it showing only S4 and core cards

It’s January 2025 when you get to use all seasons again. The graphic is correct.
The 2037 part is to cause hesitation for those that said they’d wait to season 4 to play again. SDS tricks lol, Unreal.
