Jackie Robinson program
-
Well, I have the option of playing storyline #1 or do a Showdown to get a non-MLB JR.
Looks like it’ll wait until November.
-
I was really hoping he’d be a Dodgers version. Womp womp.
-
@DodgerMatt93_NSW yeah, I think the NL thing is cool, but since they’re not affiliated with MLB teams, they’re useless for programs.
I liked the Jeter storyline but that’s about it.
-
Now that there a substantial number of NL cards in the game a NL affinity program needs to be added
-
They really need to make those cards more useable. Wouldn't have been difficult to put together a TA program specifically for them. I enjoy the storylines themselves. They just need to do more to encourage use of them.
-
I think this also could lead to a discussion to have series affinity programs as well as an alternative
-
I do like the monarchs version and it should be part,but should be a mid reward.
The final reward should be a rookie series or awards RoY Jackie, that's what the day is about. -

That's the problem. I just put up some good batting and pitching stats, then realized they won't help with programs or team stats. Some play almost every position and would be very worthy of being in lineups. It's the nature of the game, the way most everything is tied to XP.

Especially the way TA My Journey is this year. Im not wasting a single swing with a card that isnt helping to make progress on that. Im curious to see how many people use these cards now that they're doing the community challenge.
-
Exactly my feeling; if I’m jumping online and want to put on the best team I’ll use them, but any kind of stats/PXP grind is a no.
Although they could make a NL affinity.

An NL series TA where the rewards are better versions of the storyline players.
They might not count towards a TA(yet?) but at least they count towards the my legacy missions. -
@PAinPA_PSN true, but I don’t track My Legacy. If it’s a collection for vouchers I’ll get to it then.
-
The ideal solution would be to add a repeatable PXP mission for NLB cards in TA that gives you a voucher (5,000 XP) to use towards whatever team you want to advance. It would be such an easy fix.
They obviously put a ton of effort and love into the Storylines mode. It makes no sense why they would intentionally discourage their player base from using these cards.
-
The NL cards do count for the Innings reward path and position stats missions, right?
-
I know this sounds crazy, but there needs to be a TA for Free Agents to make Negro League cards worth it. There can also be some other cards that fit into that category, so it gives people incentive to put them in their lineup.

Would be perfectly fine with some Evolution programs in June to get the 99s.
-
@yankblan_PSN They definitely dropped the ball by not have a TA for NL players only. These players are pointless to use until all that other stuff is complete.

They do but the thing is, why use them for stat missions when you can use MLB players and make progress in Team Affinity AND the individual program? If theres a stat mission in a regular program for 5 HRs with a SS, im gonna see what team i need HRs for and im gonna use their SS so i can make progress in multiple programs.

Since I need to use them anyway for the JR missions, I hope to be getting some free progress in other missions (such as April Spotlight) at the same time.

they tried to encourage using them with the new collection, but then didn't give them any quirks...
