Prices up on everything
-
They have absolutely dropped the ball on storylines. The Negro League segments are extremely informative and have actually led to my son and I taking a trip to the museum this year. I’m a 40something white dude and I want a homestead gray or Crawford hat like you wouldn’t believe. I just think it would be weird if a middle aged white dude wore one.
I’ve always known about the feats of the negro leaguers and listened to Kendrick’s podcast a lot. But the storylines are just so well done and have a nice reward at the end. Too bad they don’t have a TA program for them. The cards just exist. Biz Mackey was my end game catcher last year and I had every single card in the game. This mode could be soooooo much more.
-
@Dolenz_PSN my bad I thought it all came out tmro.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL if as much time was put into this mode as time was put into gameplay we would be looking at a game of the year candidate. they could even do this with old time mlb imagine going thru a storyline of joe DiMaggio’s hitting streak. Ted Williams year hitting .406. Bob Gibson 1968 season even modern history like Barry’s 73 if they had the rights redsox 04 season. I’m getting myself to excited but u get the point the possibility’s would be endless. I also enjoy bobs podcast very educational.
-
There should be a new storyline, embedded in DD every inning at some point. It would be a great way to engage offline players and potentially could provide new cards and collections. Right now they hide it away and it’s easy to overlook.
-
Collections are the 24th, I assume its demand for the cards? I hope its not being manipulated though. If you have the stubs and see the price drop bellow the average and its a rare pack I would buy it.
-
For what its worth, cards seemed lower in price to me during WC (although the 91s are going up)
I snagged the chase cards and Garcia during that time. I did expect Trout to dip but he didnt move much, grabbed him too. Ohtani came down a bit.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL strongly agree with this they could have very easily taught us who Rick Farrell and bobby doerr are instead of just throwing them at us. cause I’ll bet myself included 95% of the community didn’t know who these guys where. And I feel like I have fairly good ball knowledge and I found myself calling my grandfather asking about these guys.
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN I wonder who they could bring on to do that - because it would need to be someone else
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS what do u think the odds are they add an egg hunt collection and a st pattys day collection on the 24th. Cause rn it seems pretty bare bones I’m assuming they will add standouts and maybe award series and milestones I don’t think they will add signature series as there’s not enough cards.
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN I’m sure there are plenty of baseball historians like Kendrick who would love the opportunity to share this sports history.

I doubt easter or St Patricks Day gets added. Topps Now, Spotlight, and whatever the jackie program is will get added for sure

@Teak2112_MLBTS noted thanks.
-
I feel like I’m so close to having this collection done but when it come out feel like I’m gonna be extremely disappointed.
-
Can you or someone explain this? What is happening on the 24th with collections snd how do people already know about it?
-
@T00MuchHam_XBL it’s been announced that a new Legends and Flashbacks collection is being released on the 24th (some of the vouchers for it are already in the game), and presumably it’ll be for a low-grade 99 overall player like they were last year, which gives it value in scarcity since the only other 99s are the three LS guys.
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN awesome. TY
-
The spotlight legend collection is always a slog for me. Like, you need 10 cards, right? - and maybe you're gonna pack one of them? Im pretty annoyed by collections where there are a ton of cards in a certain "tier" and there's no way to grind for packs that have that tier.
-
@rubicante23_PSN nothing like getting a deluxe or premier pack of what you already own.

But you can grind stubs to buy cards at least. There is just a lot of RNG involved.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS yeah, I mean...its kinda frustrating when there's no method other than "here's 9 cards you have to buy." Whatever, I dont mind grinding - just feels like there should be a little more chance to get the cards another way.
