    Any else bored yet?

    I know I have seen quite a few people post about the cost it would take to get all the high priced live players. Feel the cost is prohibitive as well.

    Still the gameplay is great and love that we are not limited on which cards we can use, but something seems missing. Think it might be the impossible feat of completing all the team collections or legend collections.

    wish there were more ways to gain stubs other than buying them but it obvious that is the point for them.

    Well, I would say most people who would be bored of a specific video game, would probably not be looking at a forum dedicated to that specific video game. Most people would go find something else to do that has nothing to do with that specific video game.

    There’s no rush to get any of these cards. They will all be attainable in the months to come. Roster update investments has made me a lot of stubs. Try it for next update.

    @frankieciv608_PSN Im surprised more people aren't bored by the staleness of this franchise at this point.

    I am not sure bored is the word I would use because I still occasionally have fun playing. I do feel like they have swung the pendulum back to the point where they are catering more to those who either have a ton of time to invest or are just better than the average player. That is fine and there should be rewards for those players but it seemed like most content catered to that group.

    I think that they are beginning to realize some of their mistakes. They have already moved the boss packs earlier in the timeline. The latest Spotlight program contains no stat missions for a specific teams, which is a blessing for those of us not collecting all of the cards and who can't field a diamond squad from each team.

    I am also tired of the reliance on packs. Yesterday's Summer drop has 29 cards

    15 are in packs
    5 are in the Program (plus one pack)
    3 Collection Rewards (2nd and 3rd reward will require cards from packs)
    4 From Mini Seasons
    2 From Diamond Quest

    So basically, if there was a card you want from that series there less than a 50% chance that your only option to get it is to buy packs or get the card on the market.

    Yesterday I jumped into Diamond Quest for the first time since like week 2 or 3. I was successful in all of the moments and maybe half of the showdown style challenges. When I got to the stadiums I had a 46% chance at the card at my preferred difficulty. I won't waste my time playing a mode again where I have better odds of winning a coin flip than I do getting the card I am playing for.

    I'm indifferent. I stopped trying to keep up with content, collections, when in the past my goal was 100%. I've been jumping on mk instead of events lately.

    After I got home from work last night I hopped on to explore the latest content. Lots to do but more of the same (outside of the rather unique extreme missions that increase in difficulty as you proceed and succeed).

    I also continued to wonder how on earth anybody is able to complete everything that this game throws at us. I got three hours in last night and barely felt like I made any headway. There's definitely plenty to do for those of us that have limited time and I do appreciate that.

    DQ depends on your luck, could be as little as an hour (when it isnt bugged)
    An hour for moments
    The rest can realistically be done in 6 hours of so playing the mini season, although getting the 5 wins with Blyleven and 2500 pxp may bleed a bit into a second season

    Given mini seasons only come once an inning, you can typically complete all offline content for an inning playing an hour a day or less. TA drops are more, but they can also be done over time as you do the other content

    For me I would say it’s not “boring” but definitely less motivating. Not being LS complete gave me a very clear goal (grind games for packs and stubs). Now that I’m LS complete, have all the AS vouchers and have about 700k stubs in the bank, I don’t feel like I need to be on every day. I’m offline only so I also don’t feel like I need Rolen/Ted Williams.

    I prefer it now to be honest, I can just play mini seasons and conquest with teams full of my favourite players rather than grinding with affinity teams.

    I think the prices of everything, the overwhelming collections and the infinite grind that isn’t really rewarding, and it is causing me to play less. It just feels like you’re always underwater and there is no time to breath playing this game. I like having things to do, but it feels like once you do them, because everything is in packs, you have to grind things you don’t want to over and over again to get these collections done.

    I wouldn’t say bored so much as disappointed (gameplay).

    I was ready to purchase the last five LS players (Judge Ohtani Ramirez Witt and Tatis) but then the prices skyrocketed again. Tatis dropped two points overall and his price still went up haha.

    @Dolenz_PSN You must've gotten some bad rolls on the number of "Missions" to complete on your map if you were under 50% and were Successful on every one. I failed 2 missions on my first run and I was at 61% on Rookie. Was blessed with a handful of 5% increases but not many.

    This year has been great so far. The only people that possibly say they are bored are the fair weather madden fans that leave in the middle of the summer anyways.

    I was not successful on every one. I think I may have managed 100% of the moment style missions but I definitely was more hit and miss at the showdown style missions. I think very increase I saw was 3% and it's worth remembering I play on Veteran so I am always going to be at a lower %

    I definitely don't get all the moments or showdowns done so I'm constantly between 46-49% every time for Veteran and that's what I'll play on and if I get the cards fine and if I don't then I'll do it again

    @Dolenz_PSN Ahh Sorry, I missed the 50/50 on Showdowns. I feel like that's usually where I get my 5% bumps. I play on Rookie and usually in the upper 55-65% range. Only one I've done and not got the epic was previous one with Thome and Whitey so I just bought them.
