@Teak2112_MLBTS But one of those programs is an ongoing program that only covered a few days. The next Spotlight Drop should be larger than this first one. Last Ride was rather underwhelming

The spotlight drop was very similar to seasons awards from last year, so i am not hopeful for a change.

Inning 2 needs to launch with something meaty to work towards, besides the mostly passive xp track
I would like to see more meaningful rewards in the later half of the reward path. Nothing p!sses me off more than grinding 15k xp only to get A SINGLE TS Pack, or a useless gold icon. Make it a 3 pack at least
-
The way SDS values stubs and packs is kinda crazy. 100 stubs is nothing and with the horrific diamond odds, especially those over 85, a regular pack is maybe worth 200 stubs on average and a ballin pack, almost always a gold, might be worth 1000 stubs on average. The gatekeeper cards all go for over 100K so you can see that the math ain’t quite mathing. A guaranteed diamond, still mostly low tier, with 1000-5000 stubs payouts, and 3-5 pack bundles instead of a single pack, would go a long way.
-
I know Ballin packs are a meme, but they have such consistent value. You are guaranteed 400 at a minimum, and 2 gold packs are not rare. i dont ever expect a diamond, but they are one of the better stubs sources out there
I would agree that show packs should almost always be 3-5 packs
The worst is headliners though. A headliner random pack does NOT have the value of 5 show packs. Maybe if they let us choose the pack so we can target ones we are missing, but even then they just arent exciting.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS I'd like to see a headliner pack exchange. LOL Exchange 10 Headliner packs for 1 Headliner Choice pack. They're cheap as all get out on the market so people must be pulling them. Just not me!

Ive pulled Houck 4x (though three of those were from show packs the first week) and Grandy twice. And pudge once

I always feel like there’s not enough content, but I know I play a lot. With the combined multiplayer program, and no incentive for me to play BR or the events, it really feels lacking this year. I used to play a lot of MTO when there was nothing to do, but that is even less rewarding now. They have been releasing content more frequently than the beginning of last year though. How about a mission in the multiplayer program for say 10 and 20 even wins for program stars, or something like that? Give us more ways to progress.
-
Right now I'm doing TA from 55k to 120k that's a lot of packs right now I'm at 13 teams 120k TA points. It gives me something to do until 4/11 and to get things squared away just in case there's added TA rewards on 4/25 with the TA collection.
-
It's insane to me that anyone could say there isn't content. First of all TA lasts all year, that's the meaty grind. It becomes unrealistic to ever take a break if they release more than they already have! I've been playing since early access and I finally feel like i have a couple days that I can play other games (or maybe even touch grass!) while I wait for the new DQ tomorrow. Don't get me wrong I love the game but it is wholly unrealistic to say that multiple content drops a week is "lacking"
-
@trfatboy22_PSN Excatly … I missed week 1. I play A LOT (prox 3 hours per day). Today I finished the last ride program, the first spotlight program. With that, all programs are done for me.
Yesterday I completed the multiplayer program (I know this does not count for the sake of this thread).
I completed all DQ (only 1 try each).
I completed every Conquest map
I have prox 22 TA Jolt BossesBut: I just started the TA Mini season. Right now I am sitting at 10 wins
So: In order to do everything you have to either play a lot and/or be good. But if it would be more I would get that people are frustrated too.
In other words: Perfect pacing to me

The thing is that content (in theory) takes very little resources, so there is no excuse not to have more of it.
For example, they could add stuff behind westburg pretty easily in the spotlight program and make some grindy missions to go along with it like hit 10 HR with Westburg, steal 20 bases with Kameron Misner, etc. Just give non unique rewards for it, new threads packs, spotlight pack, etc
And what they have done with carlton/mantle adds even more possibilities. Get 127 RBI with last ride players in Conquest/MiniSeasons/DQ for a shinier looking Papi
-
Honestly a repeatable large conquest map like the old full USA map would easily fill the gaps between content drops. You could grind TA on it while earning some packs. I get you could just do Diamond Quest over and over but I'm not sure you're gaining much for the TA grind.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS While I get what you are saying and would concede it if they do it. I personally wouldn't want them to do this. Because I WANT to complete everything but I just can't burnout trying to get super grindy missions done or I would stop playing altogether. Which in theory might be why they aren't doing as you suggest.

Perhaps they could have a challenges page out of the way, sort of like how TA is, where you would only go look at it if you want to.
One of the things NBA 2K25 does right is they have added rewards for wins in the offline modes that no sane person would complete. But its easy to set your own goal: just grab the 50 win one? push for 200? In the end you arent missing out by not doing it, but the carrots are at least decent (unlike TA, I am not motivated by a 1k stub space or a single ballin pack, or securing a card that releases in 3 months).

@Teak2112_MLBTS This would kind of throw a monkey wrench in the whole "Play how you want" argument if your "More Content" idea involves making people use a card just to unlock some more packs...

Have I played too much lol, or is there a lack of content. I've completed all the conquest maps, all the programs, showdowns, diamond quest, and mini seasons. I've got nothing to play except vs CPU to keep grinding team affinity.
Yes, you've played too much.

SDS wouldnt 'make' people do anything. Its bonus grinding for people that want it. No different than saying SDS is making you repeat the mini season 3 or 4 times until you get the 100 HR and 150 XBH missions done (which is what I am currently doing personally)
