Sets and seasons was better

@TheBigPapa55_PSN
Yes, but these are a year apart in completely different games. Why should I have to grind for another 99 Mike Trout when I had to grind for his other 99 3 months ago. The card is still in my inventory, and this structure is fully planned, not the live content coincidences we saw with guys like Nick Kurtz. -
If you like rocking a theme team they were mode breaking. Completely killed DD for me after Season 2. Honestly never really got into it again after that, even last year.
So they can do what they want. I don’t care for DD anymore. But I’m speaking up for other guys who like to use TT’s throughout the year.
-
@genopolanco_PSN How exactly was it game breaking? It created more lineup diversity.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN it’s already hard enough to field a viable TT as it is, so eliminating a large chunk of your lineup because a season was over made it nearly impossible. There weren’t enough wildcards to make up for it.
-
@genopolanco_PSN Are you specifically talking about team theme teams? We had new cornerstone captains at the beginning of every season to choose from. The variety was awesome. I used more players than ever before. For once, it didn’t feel like I was playing the same team every game.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I am. Read my comment you originally replied to lol. I’m talking actual MLB theme teams, not switch hitter TTs which people seem to forget ran that game for a long time too.
There’s other reasons I hated it too though. I think it could’ve been at least ok. But like with most things SDS does, it was poorly executed and poorly planned out.
Anyways, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that felt this way and they gave up on it after 2 years.
-
@genopolanco_PSN I’m with you on wanting theme teams to be better. Last year was a complete disaster for theme teams.

I knew this day would come... lol
This happens with almost everything... something gets done one way and people "hate on it", then when something new gets done the old way was "better".
Me personally I loved "Sets & Seasons" because it allowed for you to continue playing with different cards... in the years prior to this it felt like people were almost afraid to go get certain cards once they got the lineup they wanted and those players would complain that there was nothing else worth "grinding" (or "paying") for, at least with Sets & Seasons after a set amount of time you had to build your team again... but let's not pretend like you were forced back to your team looking like the "no money spent" team you start with filled with common and bronzes along with your one silver (or gold) card from your loyalty reward before you start your grind to unlock other cards.
Me personally I'd like an innings model with the ability to still do previous inning programs similar to how it's been the last few years.
The only thing right now that I would change is how the "Reward Path" works... I like what WWE 2K is about to do with their similar feature where you can still do a previous "Reward Path" even after a new "Reward Path" enters the game but you can only have one reward path active at a time.
So if I don't complete "1st Inning Reward Path", I would have the option to continue that "reward path" and then I can move on to "2nd Inning Reward Path" once that's done, or I could move on to the "2nd Inning Reward Path" and then go back to the "1st Inning Reward Path" once I complete it.

@jeromesaysword_PSN Great idea.

The grass is always greener........until you actually look at it

They won't go back to sets and seasons because probably nobody that liked would quit when they got reid of it. But a certain percentage of those who didn't like it threatened to quit.
-
@jaychvz_XBL They won’t go back to it because the streamers didn’t like it and those are the only opinions they care about.

I liked sets and seasons. Both methods 23 and 24 were good in my opinion.
23 you could use cards from the current season and the previous season. And 24 with 4 wild cards. And Live Series cards were allowed throughout all seasons.
