Has it always been like this?
-
I know it's been discussed a bit, but i'm genuinely baffled why content has been both middling and at such unnecessarily irregular intervals during the postseason.
This is only year two for me, but as a former 2K guy, the idea of these lulls and uninspiring content at a time when many eyes on are the sport is so baffling.
Even at their worst 2K would provide some sort of daily content to keep it ticking over, and i know Madden do too.
It's Monday morning where I am, but for the US based guys, i'm sure many would have loved the Guardians program (or the retro) to play on a lazy Sunday arvo leading into the Dodgers/Brewers game.
Instead there's nothing, but tomorrow and the next day we'll get a relative glut.Is this a sign of the ongoing diminution of standards or has it always been like this?
Apologies to those who don't want to see more negativity, i guess i'm just a little disappointed with the state of the game as an already struggling year seems to just be drifting away, rudderless.

Last year they had a month-long Spooky Program
https://showzone.gg/news/mlb-the-show-25-spooky-program-breakdown
One new mission per day in a program that paid off in 15 cards. There were 18 Spooky Cards last year and 13 in 2024.
They have 3 new programs scheduled for Wednesday, but I am guessing they are player programs or something short to start releasing legends.

That Spooky Ketel Marte was money, so was the Spooky Jasson Dominguez but he was expensive.

They are too concerned with gate keeping the favorite players of the fan base behind programs so u have to spend money or play mlb 10 hours a day

@Dolenz_PSN Thanks mate.
I can't believe I don't remember that, but it would have done the trick again this year to just give us something during a time when many of us just want to be around the game of baseball as much as possible.

Yeah. 18 teams did not make the playoffs. There are probably plenty of people, like me, who are keeping up with the game scores in the playoffs but are not overly interested in those particular cards.
We'll see what programs drop Wed but I don't have high hopes for anything too meaty since they were lumped together as one bullet point and are all releasing the same day which makes me believe that they will be short

I figured that out when I saw how you spelled "favourite" with a "u" in a previous post. How did you come to like American Baseball, and are you a cricket fan?

Remember when they had daily moments? And also daily exchanges for xp.

I’ve played last 4-5 years. This is by far the worst. I didn’t even mind sets and seasons. This year has been straight up garbage. Horrible creative content. Where is extreme? You used to have cool program and artistic creative card series like “snapshot”, Kaiju, ingognito, and Takashi. This year, Vintage, Mural, Cityscape. They all looked the same.
Just garbage all around. Banning people for buying third party stubs. Making tons of expensive Chase cards (all Cardinals btw). Like WTF? SDs needs a major creative overhaul. Especially when you aren’t updating graphics.

Banning people for buying third party stubs.
Well, that was understandable. The answer if you believe the game is too predatory is to not play, not buy third party stubs and continue playing.
Making tons of expensive Chase cards (all Cardinals btw)
I am still shocked that I was able to get them all.
And for those who were tired of the Cardinals getting cards in general you'll be pleased to know that they and the Rangers are the two teams with the longest current gap since they last got a card (24 days during the moonshot drop)
