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.
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.

You get 4 players just by doing the showdown twice, 2 each time you do the showdown
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
-
I’m guessing my pack luck is an outlier , or at least hoping for the rest of the communities sake lol. My best pull was from the jumbo pack a week or so ago , pulled a LS Skubal.
I’ve completed weekend classic (4-2) , all spotlight programs , all player programs , all diamond quests , both mini seasons , the first inning program , all themed programs all conquest maps (besides Rockies city connect
) , I have 18 Jolt cards , and I’ve done some in expensive LS collections + Braves. I bought the 3 jumbo packs to start the year and ordered digital delux.I currently have 182k Stubbs and as of right now I’m on a 226 straight The Show packs without a LS Diamond pull drought. All earned packs btw none bought with Stubbs. I’ve also opened 14 straight headliners without a Diamond , 21 straight BIAH packs without a Diamond.
Just feel like for the time I’ve put in , and my ‘moderate’ level of skill I should be further into my collections or overall progression.

Online rated mode is a blast this year. Try to enjoy the game you spent money on. DD is worst thing to ever happen to video game baseball.

How did I only end up with one egg after my DQ run…? I only got the green one but not the blue one. I won both stadium games.

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.
I agree the market is REALLY difficult in terms of making stubs via card flipping. I’m only really able to do it with the new LS cards shortly after roster updates. Pretty much every card I’m watching right now has low flip return.

Don't know,I didn't do both cause I pulled erceg ,so I ended after so as not to risk him.

It’s not. I have one more card for LS. I have all collections done minus Donaldson which I just need Dihigo and the Egg collection. I’m 100% NMS. Sorry if you put a little work in it’s really not hard
-
@urbanphilosophy_XBL If I would not concentrate on LS, I could easily do all the collections (I am missing the New Threads and Egg, done the other) … As of right now, I have logged in prox. 1.7M on cards that I pulled and stuff I sold out of the packs.
If LS is out of the way I will easily do the collections the bring out. -

Oh it CAN be done, it's just harder. I'm NMS and finished LS earlier this week. I don't have Donaldson or DeGrom yet.
But most people can't afford to play as much as I do. And for those of us who want all/most of the cards, you should expect to either pay real money or seriously grind.
It's just too bad that it's so obvious where SDS is trending with micro transactions.
