Anyone else borderline excited/not excited for tonight?
-
I am extremely excited cause I do feel like sds still has a big legend or 2 in the bag that we don’t know about and I’m extremely excited for the overhaul of wbc stuff and the amount of stuff we are gonna have to do right out of the gate this year
-
The Pitching Coach especially would help out some theme teams that are lacking in relievers.
-
@Dolenz_PSN This is exactly where I am, its just meh for me. I'm actually not a big Matt Carpenter fan so I was hoping they added someone else. Just not an exciting player to me.
I would be more excited for more player variety and options other than the same retreads, I'm sure we will see like 20 Carpenter and Nootbaar cards
Red Schoendienst is the one that does not move the needle for me. Give me Carp over him. I recognize he is an iconic Cardinal having been both a player and manager but I
will probably replace him with the first decent JJ Wetherholt card we get.Oh and when I said the live series cards don't excite me I was specifically talking about the Cardinals, whose best live series card is apparently an 80 and a relief pitcher nobody outside of St Louis knows anything about.
I love Gibson as much as the next Cardinals guy but he has been the only Legend pitcher the Cardinals has ever had in the game that I remember so I was hoping out pitching Captain might have been Carlton

Which team got the shortest end of the TA stick anyway? Royals?

I am definitely excited...which i am every year for the new game. Not sure how long the excitement will last, but this game coming out is the symbol that the real season is about to begin, the warm weather is on it's way and spring / summer is near.
I am excited about the new PXP mods and the 9 inning option in mini seasons. Although not sure i will go the 9 inning path more than once since the rewards don't justify the time / effort.
The TA news yesterday really disappointed me and put a damper on my overall excitement for the year. I have no clue why they think 1 TA for the entire yr is acceptable. The themed (all star, finest, etc) TA's they did back in 22-24 were awesome. Maybe they will have "programs" that will almost serve as TA tracks but the news yesterday definitely concerns me.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS By name value, yes. Will depend on the stats and pitch mix for some of these guys. Any team with a SP captain that doesn’t have a sinker or at least a cutter/fast fastball is awful.
-
Excited for a new game, but that is where it stops, probably wait a little while to see if my biggest complaint has been somewhat fixed, the bat to ball mechanics(gameplay). Not looking for perfection, not even looking for being it 50% better, maybe 10-15% better. Kinda having to lower my expectations a bit.

I'm always excited for the new season. This year, a little less so, but I'll still be out here grinding away. I get the frustrations many have shared out here, but in the end... it's baseball. I'll give SDS credit for trying new things every year, no matter if they're popular or not (Sets/Seasons, Monsters, DQ, etc.), but at the end of the day, I only care about three things in DD: fun cards to use, lots of stuff to do, and overall gameplay. Also, I still think that SDS is pretty "player friendly". I've always been able to field a competitive squad without spending additional funds beyond the purchase of the game.
This is my 7th DD season and I'll keep going as long as I can (I'll turn 62 this year).
-
Not excited. Still haven’t decided yet if I am getting it.

I didn't realize that we were the same age.
-
This is like my Christmas as an adult. I'll open my 75 packs tonight, most likely disappointed at the lack of diamonds....put together a team and start knocking out some TA.
-
I bought it and will be playing at midnight (Ill have koogs on in the background to pass the time) but not overly excited. Have a feeling I won't play as long thru the year.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN this is exactly how I feel as a die hard baseball fan this is like Christmas and opening day is like new years can’t wait to start fresh and start grinding this game

I hope for everyone getting the game that they do have a headliner name to reveal on the launch stream for the big collection. That Pujols card just ain't it.
There is always that honeymoon phase with the game right out the gate. Every diamond pull is huge, tons of content and things to do. The real test for these games is that soft spot from late April until the ASG. That's usually been the telling point for me having had a decent sample size to understand if this is a title I will be playing all year or phase out.

I knew that we were. It's because you're old and your memory is going
-
That Pujols card just ain't it.
I realize he was only out of the game for 3 years and that people might not be thrilled with a first baseman since there are no shortage of those but it still stings me a little every time someone discounts him.

I'm not dismissing the name because Pujols is absolutely deserving, but I think even you agreed they kind of did him dirty in the power department. Even if he was only the NL reward, I think they could've been more generous with that card.
Papi and McGwire are two other slugging 1B types that were each the AL collection reward in 21 and 23. Look at the pop they got! That's where Pujols should be at.
-

I mean... He only hit 700 HRs.

That's why it just doesn't make any sense. I don't care about the new parallel system, this isn't even an endgame Pujols let alone a justifiable LS collection reward.
I just feel bad for Cards fans when he eventually gets a cracked card later in the year with either the Angels or... gasps... Dodgers.
