Resigned

I am resigned to the idea that I’ll never get live collections done. Maybe in December when everything crashes, but this game will be stale long before that. I can’t compete when the best cards are locked behind hundreds of thousands of stubs. It’s not possible for the average player who isn’t an all day, every day streamer.
The pack luck has been absolutely atrocious. I finally pulled my first 90+ yesterday, but it’s nearly three months since release. It shouldn’t have taken that long in my opinion. I get needing to dial back the frequency of big hits relative to last year, but the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction. As far as I can tell, SDS has done this to promote more of the grind, specifically with the new DQ, and to entice more players to pay for stubs to buy cards like Shohei, Judge, etc.
The gameplay has gotten better with updates, but I still feel like pitches and fielding plays are random against the input, and I’ve lost too many close games to bloopers. It almost feels like it’s programmed that way. It’s hard to want to play when I fly out on Perfect-Perfect but my opponent bloops me to death.
Finally, the content has been getting pumped out with good pacing, but the programs themselves are mid. No one asked for Pipelines Past, especially since we already had the Pipelines program earlier in the year. How many Schwarber, Guerrero, and Seager cards do I need? It feels like we’re churning out the same cards over and over.
I have always enjoyed this game, but it feels like it’s being developed by folks who aren’t in touch with the player base beyond streamers. I’d like to see the content improve (e.g. new legends, cards, challenges) and the pack luck change.

I quit playing MUT years ago because it became micro transaction central. DD was the last of the dominos to fall, Sadly it did. Next year I’ll just play online rated like I do in Madden now. Sad but this model has to go away and the only way to do that is to not play it.

While I think the monetization is absolute [censored] this year, if you cant compete because of not having collection cards its a skill issue.

I was going to write a woeful tale about how I would never complete the collection but then I learned to flip a few cards in between games and it made all the difference. I have every collection released prior to yesterday done and a million stubs just making more stubs.

@theBlindRhino_NSW I’d love to get a better sense of how to invest in the market. But it’s not an enjoyable aspect of the game for me.

@WinningUglySox_PSN I hate work but enjoy my paycheck.
