Hey SDS.... How about a little incentive to actually play your game?
-
Before I rant, I will say that I am not complaining about the cards or even the number of cards that the Cardinals have received in season 2. Just how they have been distributed by SDS and how they kind of thumb their noses at offline players.
Season 2 Cardinal Cards so far
92 Paul Goldschmidt - Event reward for 10 wins.
91 Tommy Edman - Code Name Pack
90 Nolan Gorman - Season Awards Drop pack (Rare round)
89 Masyn Winn - Season Awards Drop Pack
89 Brendan Donovan - Season Awards Drop Pack
89 Dylan Carlson - TA1 card out of 6 actually allows me to earn it offline.
For god's sake if you are going to include two players from the same team then split them up and put one in the pack and one in the program.
I guess I am playing something else this afternoon since you give me little incentive to actually play. I'll come back in a day or two when Winn and Donovan are dirt cheap.

Just checked so far this season the Cardinals have earned
2 Season Award cards
5 Topps now cards (not counting flashback Edman)6 out of the 7 have been in Packs, with only 3rd string catcher Pedro Pages showing up in the program.
-
They added surprise surprise ANOTHER Yankee, but he can be earned offline lol
They are so sloppy with their releases

Just spend money it’s not that hard

I will spend the stubs but only because I got lucky just before the new season and pulled live series Trout and sold him. He's not quite the goldmine he used to be but he has been funding my card purchases so far in season 2.
But, I will never buy stubs. When it gets to that point then I am absolutely done.
-
@Dolenz64_XBL Thats actually exactly what I am doing, I pulled Trout early and sold him for like 250k, I have been using that fund the whole time since I'm not doing collections this year lol

Stl fans have certainly gotten the brown smelly end of the stick so far.

I have not even mentioned how two of our most revered in-game legends (Brock and Gibson) have been added as collection rewards at a level most of us won't reach, making them essentially unobtainable.

No, the entire playerbase has, especially those who prefer offline, have.
We have gotten 8 total other program cards this season plus an 87 Judge.
Compare that to 3 alter ego packs, fresh start 2 pack, and london series pack.Never has a game fallen so fast in just one year.

Content is really bleak.

I'll be honest, I was hoping for a new conquest map. I'm back to the USA one for now...

That Graveman conquest last season along with the legends mini season gave me so much false hope.

'23 wasn't great either. There were a lot more programs but the bulk of those were pxp slogs.
I do, however, have a newfound respect for quality AND quantity. '23 definitely had the quantity aspect covered and I appreciate that more now than I did last year.
'24 has neither.

Back in 2020, SDS dropped a program called "The All-Timers" program, consisted of playing in moments/games with your DD team to earn rewards each week the included the like of 99 Babe Ruth, 99 Tom Seaver and more (if I remember correctly). To this day, its probably my favorite offline program they ever did, and they never did it again. There was also a long program in 2019 called "Signature teams" that occurred over a 4 week period that was also playing moments/game with your DD team that featuured Jason Kendall, Adrian Gonzalez, and culminated with 99 Vlad Sr. Never did it again. It was awesome and so much fun.
I wish they'd bring something like these back. If you want to check it out a little, here is a very young GomesDaLegend taking about iAll Timers a little, Check out all of the other individual player programs they used to have on the screen. I so miss that.

As someone who doesnt care about god squads and prefers offline, 23 was great. I always had new things to play with and things to work towards offline. I get why some people did not like it, and I think the big problem was the collection rewards. If not for the collection rewards people could have better ignored the content they didnt want to do.
But I agree with your thoughts on quantity and quality. They should have kept the quantity but improved the quality. Instead they did neither.

@Dolenz64_XBL I would actually prefer players from my team in the packs simply because those are the better cards. I get where you are coming from, but I’d rather them be better than free. I am stub rich though.
-
@Dolenz64_XBL same, hit with an Ohtani out of a Show pack and sold him, now thinking about selling the Judge I just pulled from a BIAH pack

I mean, I think this years version of Diamond Dynasty is a disgrace but the fact that people would go to an EA game or CoD as their escape is exactly why have headed this way.
