The most boring edition of DD yet?

@cusejuice315_PSN I agree with you. The mods were a great idea!! It’s a great way to make live series cards relevant until July 4 at least. That’s usually when they start dropping the all star cards.

Your math seems a little off
1,200,000/30,000 =40 runs
Unless I misunderstand your numbers

Honestly the most hours I spent on a season of MLB the Show was when they had a large variety of missions for Team Affinity, and you could play March to October to grind points for TA. I think I played every franchise in MtO that season, it was so fun trying to win with underdogs, and play a franchise without having to spend a billion hours on it like Franchise mode. Last year TA took a huge step back and this year it seems even thinner in content. When you have crappy programs like the Egg Hunt this year or stretches of lack of programs it's nice to have a monster grind to fall back on like TA used to be. I don't play online, the one game I tried it last season I lost like 20 to 0 the dude hit everything no matter where I pitched. I'm just bored with this one already, no MtO, TA feels like I'll have it complete in a month, Egg Hunt is down to buying extremely inflated Yepez or Puk to complete, everything else is done. I hate to say it as a long time MLB the Show "subscriber" this may be my last year.

That would be if I was getting 30,000 stubs per run which over the last 13 runs I am probably around just over 2k per run. Last 13 runs have been absolutely brutal and making me question my life decision on continuing to do them. I keep saying next one but the next one hasn't happened.

Its supposed to be extremely difficult to do live series, I think people are a bit too obsessed with finishing it in April or May.
SDS does need to do a better job to ensure Tulo is still a top card by the end of August though. Which we all know wont happen since they dont juice these cards like they do later 99s
I guess this highlights that the Live Series collection is itself stale, but its also one of the key identities of the mode and probably 50-75% of SDS's revenue for the mode
I think my point is you need a lot of luck too (or flipping, spending money, 10 win br runs). Just playing the game obviously doesn't do it. Been saying this for a while. At this point I think I would be better off shifting from LS to the other collections unless I pull a Judge or Ohtani. I would have the other collections done if I wouldn't have done the A.L. LS. The N.L. without pulling one of those 2 will just take entirely too long and feel like I haven't accomplished anything. That's my $.02 especially having done all the TA's which limits the packs I get.
At my current mini season pace, I would have to do like 40 runs just to get a Soto. Highly unmotivating and feels very unrewarding.

It would be a bit more fun if the price was spread out for a lot of live guys - instead of all on Shohei and Jusge. Not sure how to affect the market like that - but a whole bunch of semi-gatekeepers would feel better than 2 giant ones

@JenkinMeyer_PSN mlb attendance just increased for the third straight year. And that’s with teams like the marlins, A’s, and rays actively killing their fan bases. Attendance from a historic point of view on average was slightly higher.

@MNKgod1979_XBL 80s-90s attendance wasn’t even high outside a few years. Sure early 2000s had better attendance but some of these contributed to the worst of worst teams actually pulling people in. Some of those bottom feeders don’t even pull a million people over a whole season. Even the historical good franchises struggle to pull people in when the team is constantly losing.

As an offline player only, I’d say Madden Ultimate Team is easier than The Show. Again, stressing offline only in both modes.
Madden challenges actually encourage you to play on higher levels since you score SO SO much on their “Rookie”. That is not the case with The Show. In fact, The Show “makes us” play on higher levels to avoid a bunch of “crazy RPG stuff” (what I call shenanigans) on Rookie. My opinion.

I miss repeatable conquest maps for packs. I mean good lord….its not like packs are even good but it was something to play for.

If you’ve got the data and I’m wrong then cool but I judge by my eyes.
Are we talking about paid attendance or actual attendance and how can we find that? With bots and StubHub type purchasers that buy in mass amounts - it’d be tough to find that.
Ballparks are emptier and emptier each season in almost every game I watch and I watch a lot of baseball. Announced paid attendance in parks doesn’t at all appear to match the empty seats. This has been going on forever. Announced attendance at a park will be like 30k, and there’ll be 10k there MAYBE.
Empty seats everywhere.
