Power Creep
-
I started playing this game 2 years ago so I have no experience with the power creep. Is every card on a power creep? Negro League players too as well as every other category? I would guess live player cards are not? Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes every card.live series too as Ohtani has been revealed as the highest LS player and he's a 91 (even in previous power creep years that is low)

In a way, regular cards have a minor power creep as you accumulate stats with them, but the specialty cards soon outrank them. I am hoping that they slow the progression so that we don't see 99s until the fall or winter.
-
@Firefly4917_XBL could not agree more!

The power creep is more like one season that lasts all year. The highest card will probably start around 90 (+ or -) and go up much more slowly, like one or two a month. It means that you use more players throughout the year. I think in 21 the highest ovr started around 88, except for live series.

@broken_toy1_PSN
But they are not capped at +5 like the cards the last 2 season have been, correct? -
@broken_toy1_PSN
You can start with an 88 and he can creep all the way up to 99? Thank you! -

@CHUCKnDUCK20_XBL Parallels are likely capped at +5 still. The power creep refers to the cards available. Most of the best cards in the game at launch will be low 90’s with the exception of the live series collection. As the year goes on they’ll drop better and better cards. It will creep up much slower than you are used to without seasons.
-
basically, power creep means they're not gonna release a bunch of 99s right away. which is great and makes live series most valuable, parallel cards more valuable, and collections much value.

Not the same card but the same player with a higher rating? Is this accurate? -

If you’ll recall last year, the beginning of a season would start with the top cards at 93 or so. As the season progressed, better cards would released along the way.
It’s the same thing, only a “season” lasts the whole season.

Parallel basically gives you an opportunity to increase the cards stats by +1 for every level (5 total)
-
If I recall correctly, we start to see some 99s peppered in around the all-star break or shortly after.

I’m glad power creep is back for the sake of most of the fans of this game. I will be honest, though, my favorite years of MLB The show have been the ones where power creep was not a thing: aka, the last few years. MLB the Show 23 was still my favorite.
But that’s just my opinion. I’ve been playing since ‘18, so some of you may have more experience than me.
-
@P0pa-Cherry_XBL Probably the first big collection will be the next 99 after the live series collection.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN
Thanks EZ -
MLB the show has always been better with the power creep, I wasn't super excited for this years game but a number of changes have me seeing MLB 20 style or progress and even MLB 17 style program and progress.

I am in the same boat. Loved 2020, but felt like the last two installments really deviated from what made that game flow so well when it came to content and just overall structure.
As bad as SDS botched 24 early in its cycle which sunk the game for most, their rollout from the ASG through Finest was very good and I hope that carry that momentum into 25.
