Regardless, Seasons with expiring cards are terrible. Starting over (again) at this point is ridiculous. Hopefully next year they go back to "Innings", which naturally supports a power creep.
Never played the innings format but I've heard a lot of it and id like to try it as well.
I did. People just complained about other things.
They complained that it took to long to get 99s.
That was definitely one of the complaints. Many if not most of the highly desired players (Trout, Harper, Lindor, Betts, Devers, etc) would not get a 99 until the end of the regular season when Finest cards were released.
Shoot many gamers would still have a fairly hard time building a squad of 99's in mid August as 99s only started getting introduced at the All Star break with only a couple of those players getting a 99.

Can’t forget that many of the late cycle Ranked and BR rewards would have hundreds of Million Stub buy orders so many offline only players would never get 99 Trout, etc. Unless they played those modes.

I remember that. I just can't figure out why. In FIFA, we don't start getting 99s until we're 8-9 months into the game cycle and that's probably the most profitable game in the world. So why did SDS feel the need to change (presumably to boost the bottom line) here? I didn't play the game before 20, so maybe history has something to do with it, but I just can't figure it out.
SDS probably wishes that they could.

I think that was also before they implemented the BR Program and the Rewind packs in Events.

If they don't try new things people slam them for cut and paste content every year.
When they try something different people slam them for not sticking to the old formula.
But you can be sure that two of the driving factors in their decisions are player retention and profits

@Dolenz_PSN
'Not getting 99's until late summer' did not bother me a couple of reasons:First, unlike many of those who complained about this, I played all year long and did not bolt to Madden or COD in late summer/fall. Therefore, it was a nice reward for me to have the opportunity to earn those 99's in late summer and use them until the new game was released.
Secondly, the value of a card rating is only relative to whatever else is available. Therefore, not having 99's was no big deal to me, because no one else did either (save for a few 99's from LS collection rewards).
Regardless, the reason why we were sold "Seasons" in '23, was to accommodate "99's Day 1"... Now that the power creep is back, there is no logical reason to have the Seasons/Sets format. Innings, however, naturally supported a power creep (which I support).

I just think y'all that still play this game for multiple hours a day need to either branch out, get a real job with longer hours, and start actually taking care of important matters first.
I would assume, just based on the inactivity of these boards, that it's pretty much the same dozen people posting and wasting time.
I just check and post when I see that a bunch of rocks with eyes are finding multiple ways to argue about the stupidest [censored].

If someone can support themselves and their family comfortably on 40 hours a week, why would they wanna work more to appease some random on the forums?

Nobody reads your nonsense because its been the same stupid [censored] at the beginning and end of every season so far.
Yet here you are.
You're right. I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt when i saw the title. I read the first line and said to myself "Nope....he's still a massive douche" and proceeded to comment.

While the power creep works best with the Innings format, alot of people (not me) would complain that they had to do alot of grinding for Golds, or mid Diamomds, at the beginning of the year.
You can't please everyone.
I actually liked that format. Using lower rated cards and paralleling them up.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN I looked at the marketplace for 22 and Ranked reward 99 Trout still has over 1600 One Million Stub buy orders lol.

That's almost a rarity today. I'd consider you to be [censored] lucky if all three of these things apply to you:
1- You only work 40 hrs a week and can support a family of 4 or more. (Your position has to be upper tier, pushing between 60-80k a year.)
2- Your wife or significant other doesn't give a [censored] that you spend multiple hours a day playing a video game.
3- You put yourself first and don't care about said importance of family.

- You and your girlfriend decided a long time ago not to have kids because you both like your quiet time and you both like spending money on yourselves so when you come home from your 40-45 hour a week job, you can get a few hours to yourself without kids screaming in your ear or a girlfriend/wife yelling at you to change a diaper or some [censored].
