#1 First year in a while where I'm not working full-time on Early Access weekend. Can't wait to spend hours ... building my annual spreadsheet during Debut weekend.
If anyone builds a better spreadsheet than me, it’s you. You keep absolutely every detail logged. I’m still trying to figure out how to access the Inventory API without writing an extension. That’s the only automation I’m missing and have been relying on Showzone scraping my inventory for the data.
I’m still on the fence with 25. S1 wore me out last year and I stopped playing until the New Year.
After my heart attack last year, my life has been flipped upside down, and nothing is the same anymore. Since my risk is too high for bypass, I have to focus on building new arteries in my heart. That means a lot of exercise and no more sitting around. It’s cut my game time drastically.
I’m bummed 25 is not on gamepass. In the past, I’ve preordered for the PS, and bought copies for the Switch, and later XBX (usually for around $10). I’ve played it on gamepass until I bought my XBX copy (I like the feel of the XBox controller more). I know buying three copies is insane, but I was able to play whenever we visited our kids or travelling on the road.
Lately, I’ve been playing TA in 24 and absolutely loving the enormous amounts of XP, packs, and cards I’m getting. I just may wait to buy 25 until it goes on sale and begin playing in 2026.
If I get 25, it will be on XBX, and it will be during one of their sales.
First time in 9 years I'm not getting the game on release. Unless in the next month they show me some new features I think i'm just tired of the same DD modes.
Pretty much the same programs, moments, conquest, etc... I wish they overhauled everything or offered some more new DD modes to keep the game fresh.
I'll probably end up getting it up when it goes on sale too.

Already pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition. Im home from work by noon every day so i'll be watching the streams over the next month if they're doing Twitch drops. By launch, i'll have nearly 100 packs to open (35 Twitch, 20 digital deluxe, 21 Now/Later, diamond choice, 20th Anniversary, 5 gold choice) and i'll work on putting together (hopefully) a solid squad on day 1.

If they actually give us all those packs. I haven't received any claimed Twitch Packs in about two years.

I've never had an issue with my Twitch packs or Scouting Report packs. You may wanna check to make sure you're still connected

I will spend day one on the Negro Leagues unlocking all the stadiums & cards available at launch.
Then I will hit all the offline DD stuff like USA Conquest, Moments, ect.
Then I’ll head into RS with whatever team I’ve assembled.

Having an XP cap sucks in general, but really puts some shackles on the early access aspect. If they are offering an option to pay more in order to get the game early, players should be able to make as much progress as they want in that span.

i'm 47 i'm getting the ole snippy snip on the 14th....so either sleep or find a chair and relax day

@MarioMendoza935_XBL I don't enjoy flipping cards or manipulating the market at all. Just don't have that kind of time.
My goal is to play at least 1 game against another human everyday. Pretty simple goal. I play with the cards I get and make the best of it.

I'm 39 and had that done a couple of years ago. For real though, just go buy like 10 bags of frozen peas and rotate them out for a couple days and take it easy. I did that and it wasn't a big deal at all.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL I am really thinking about your way to go in 25, because it was pretty boring being able to get any card I wanted when I wanted.
Do you plan to only buy cards and not play the market at all?
I was thinking about flash sales (easy way to make stubs), roster updates or getting collections done by flipping some… but that would break „the rule“
How do you plan to go? I am really curious -
The plan is to take a solid nap on launch night, then at midnight, pray the servers are stable enough to rip open packs and the pre order bonuses
From there, assuming it’s even a thing, USA conquest map (depending on the rewards). If not that, some form of offline grinding for early/easy rewards/diamonds and then maybe some events for a feel of head-to-head play

I'm going to try and not play the market at all. We'll see how that goes...
I'll try to stick to everything I earn for as long as I can.

Ok, but sell the dupes is okay for you ?
And buy some cards with your stubs (only single ones)? -

And buy some cards with your stubs (only single ones)?Yes and yes. I'm good with "normal" market transactions. I'm not going to "invest" or "flip". That's the plan, at least. When they announce Bonds is in the game as the LS collection reward, then I'll flip like crazy.
Yes, I know he won't be in the game. I mean... Never. Probably never. But maybe. Nah... Never.
