Rough for NMS people
-
Am I missing something or are these recent collections trending towards buy your way to the top cards?
John Donaldson is locked behind PvP or buying nearly 200k Stubbs worth of cards.
Looks like DeGrom is locked behind 20 pack cards?
Idk how many of these packs you’ll get via conquest and the program but I counted 2. That’s 10/28 required of the 29 available. So we’re looking at at least 50k Stubbs for DeGrom? Where are NMS offline players getting the Stubbs for these collections?
I’m not trying to complain , maybe I’m missing something but I don’t recall program collections being this stubb heavy in the past.
Now the newest collection is locked behind several LS collections and PvP cards that I still don’t have. Fading fast as [censored] over here. Getting close to Madden territory for me. I’m not going to drop 100’s of dollars so I can play weekend classic and compete once a month when I get the itch

You get 4 players just by doing the showdown twice, 2 each time you do the showdown

The fanboys will tell you it's not happening, but it's simply factual that SDS/Sony is moving towards a pay to win model.
I'm NOT saying they're worse than EA or 2K, it's just trending in a negative direction.
Evidence:
- They manipulated the market to crush flipping.
- There are way more cards in packs than programs. Look at how many Egg Hunt cards are in packs!
- They nerfed hitting to hurt us NMS grinders (takes longer to complete missions).
- I know it's not popular, especially with the online folks, but it also hurts offline grinding that Stadium Creator is broken and we can no longer play in "little league parks".
And I feel like I'm forgetting one or two others.

@dbub_PSN flipping is far from dead. Only will get better soon enough.
-
You never could have everything playing exclusively online or offline, and complete collections without the market. When you did the big collections, you couldn’t complete the 3rd one and beyond without a shitton of stubs or in offseason programs that gave cards away.

I'll take your word for it.

Storylines has a 3rd drop coming so you don't have to get the cards from multiplayer to complete the collection, only have to have them if you want it completed now

False. You can wait for Storylines 3.
-
The packs will show up more in programs and maps down the road to. I think if you can wait a little bit you'll be able to get the cards needed and the prices on buying them will come down to. Kind of like new threads, I was able to just finish that one a couple days ago. The egg cards can show up in regular packs as well.

Jesus. Are they making us do showdowns to collect cards AGAIN??? How many times do we have to say we hate this in the survey???
-
Yup already bored of playing. Cards in the packs are also significantly better. Like why would I buy these packs when im trying to save up stubs for live series collection.
-
@LadySwampfox_XBL They don't care. I doubt anyone even reads any survey responses. There are a handful of things, that would be incredibly easy to do/not do, that MANY people have been asking for all season, and none of it has been listened to. I won't be bothering to fill out any more. They're just a waste of time.
-
To be fair I think they have done a beautiful job of making NMS easy for the games loyal regulars and making it appear difficult to the less seasoned players. Sure they have collections that would cost a lot of stubs to complete immediately but they FLOOD the market with free packs to the point where you can buy most of these cards for quick sale a few weeks later. Also having the best cards in the game is a way smaller advantage than it is in other sports video games. When I fire up a ranked game and see a P5 Trea Turner 85 and a P5 Yordan Alvarez 86 in the opponents line up I already know that im gonna get
Lit up because that guy gets it.if your playing the CPU Rockies on rookie over and over your simply not the target of SDS’s marketing. Think about it, they are not having board meetings at SDS saying hey let’s hold off on doing what makes us cash and let’s take time to make sure all the dudes that won’t spend a cent or even consider playing anything but the cpu on rookie at max elevation get the best cards right away
Also if your not playing online why does it matter how fast your able to get cards relative to other players anyways ?

Also am I understanding correctly that you have to do the Diamond quest twice to get both eggs?

Yes, you have to play the game, to get the rewards. That is correct.

1 egg is in the one stadium and the other egg is in the other stadium,so it can be done in one run
-
It's like santander... Donaldson is essentially pretty free if you play the game and do all programs by time you get packs and xp you just can't get him on day 1 with no effort.
-
Not rough at all.
All the cards are literally at quick sell value except for the main chase cards and it’s only a month into the game cycle.
Or get a job and don’t be cheap

@yankblan_PSN I had every card in 2022 at the end of season...never played online...never purchased a stub
