20 Card Max
-
@xero4019_XBL Yup. Ohtani currently costs $500. And a handful of people here are still carrying water for the corporation that just quietly raised prices.

Because we're not dumb enough to buy. Most of us finish collections organically by playing the game, selling our dupes from the thousands of packs we get during the year, grinding for stubs by playing the game and not the stock market.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN zero percent chance you finished LS and all the other collections “organically”. You’ll tell me you did, but that’s an outright lie, unless you don’t have a job and play the game 24/7. In which case, SDS thanks you for your service.
-
There's so much exaggeration going on in this thread. If you play all the content, you don't need to invest to get all the big cards. Investing always seemed to me to be a cheesy method of racking up stubs - it's not hard, but I don't want this game to be Stock Market Simulator. The people crying the loudest seem to be the same people who refuse to play DQ, or Mini Seasons, or Conquest, or Showdown, or do Programs - basically they don't want to play any of the game, they just want the cards.
-
I'm on the fence on buying '26. So your basically saying if you haven't bought it yet don't waste your money? I don't have a lot a time to invest into the game. At least in '25 I have almost every 99, and I can have my stress release hitting nukes in mini seasons or conquest. At least I know what I got. No more money lost.

@rubicante23_PSN “the game should only be played the way I play it”
Summed up why you wrote for you.
-
I have no issue with limits like these. It probably simmers down some inflation.
But, more importantly, I'd love if I didn't have to watch all these knuckleheads who are bragging about having a kabillion stubs one month into the game.....even though they kinda stink at the game, and don't do any of the game content. But, here they are trotting out every awesome card available, and posting vids with thumbnails where they are bathing in gold coins. Bleh.
-
@xero4019_XBL I finished the LS “organically” the last 3 years around June. I don’t get the “big collections” on day one either.
Don’t give in to FOMO.
-
@DrBear100_PSN It’s largely the same game and they’ve tanked stub making.
-
What a shame! Oh well, I'll stick with my endgame 99's on 2025 and explore different games. Maybe really work at getting better at Tekken 8. Maybe I'll check back several weeks before the All Star game. Unfortunately, I will skip this year's edition. Here's to 2027 or maybe someone else will get MLB rights and be competitive, not holding my breath to either.
-
@AppleLemon560_MLBTS yeah, there should be two major ways to progress at this game
- Grind your tail off and do all the stuff, or
- Be really good and repeatedly cash in on the biggest rewards
You can do both just fine in this game and get all the stuff NMS
I don't really know why there should be a #3 option that's like "be a fence that takes advantage of inefficient economic markets"
-
@DrBear100_PSN well it’s the right attitude to have if you’re not satisfied, instead of being angry or disappointed all the time.
I’m the opposite of you though: I like early cycle when the diamonds are few and far between and you hit tanks with underrated silvers. The power creep is too fast IMO. Once we get close to 99, I feel like cards start losing their uniqueness
-
@rubicante23_PSN And now you just fabricated a theoretical player to propagate your mythical argument.
-
@DrBear100_PSN Correct. There's no point to buy right now. Wait to see how it all shakes out. What you can do is buy it for $20 during the holidays and get a bunch of free 99s. What they -want- you to do is buy now, play H2H, get wrecked, and feel compelled to waste your disposable income on digital currency that will hold no value in a year. This move represents a significant step in that direction.
-
@AppleLemon560_MLBTS They give influencers millions of Stubs to post those videos. So, this does nothing to stop that.
-
@Gone-Viral_XBL no they don’t. The streamers buy them and write them off as tax deductions.
-
@DrBear100_PSN It’s largely the same game and they’ve tanked stub making.
I think there were a lot of complaints about stub making early in the 25 cycle as well. I can't remember what "nerfed" it, but margins were really low from what I remember.
-
@DrBear100_PSN If they would have announced this, I wouldn’t have got the game this year. That’s probably why they didn’t announce it. All those streamers that played the game didn’t say anything either. I guess that why they fly these guys out. Wine and dine them so they don’t talk negatively about their game. None of them are talking about it.
-
@xero4019_XBL Streamers absolutely are gifted Stubs. Yes, any packs they buy on their own are tax write-offs, but that's a side conversation.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN Right. Anyone defending this sort of intentional duplicity has questionable morals.
