Spooky variants
-
LMAO this variant/voucher stuff is the lamest thing I’ve seen in this game yet and that is saying something
If it is just for fun and isn’t required for anything in the future it is fine. In my opinion.
-
WolfgangMLB_XBL I think that’s fair. Admittedly my reaction was a bit kneejerk. Although if it ends up being a collection I will probably stand by it. Obviously the kaiju and nicknames series that released borderline unusable cards in 2023 was the worst thing ever haha
I’m not a cosmetic change only fan myself but I know a lot of people are so if they like these variants that’s cool.
In past versions of the game I’ve always tried to collect every card and I guess I’m a little annoyed that they’ve added more cards to collect that are exactly the same as cards already in my collection except for the card art. A minor stat boost would have been nice.
-
I think the worst part is they wont allow you to exhange all the nonsellable duplicates of the pipeline series that we got from the packs. So while i thought "well at least they are giving us something to do with those extra non sellable cards" they arent even allowing us to do that.
-
Or at least exchange one for one on the duplicate vouchers. 3 for 1 is absolutely insane and reeks of greed.
-
So, bottom line - are the variants necessary? I am at the extreme end of the collector-type spectrum so I’d rather spend my stubs on the Chase Cards I’m missing.
-
@PapaRick68_MLBTS at the moment I don’t think they are but can’t rule out a future collection. Someone earlier speculated maybe there will be a collection tomorrow for Halloween or there’s a big legends/flashback collection coming in about a week maybe something there.
-
Finally getting to use those Deluxe and Premier packs I've been collecting.
I've been selling all mine for 5,000 stubs apiece like an idiot.
-
@BearDownGoBlue_PSN Okay. Thank you
-

There has been zero comms so no one knows.
I would hope they're like the Roch experiment and not required.
It'd be nasty work if they were. -
Agreed. I refuse to buy that card on principle even if it’s needed to complete the Draft Kids Series. I just got Posada & Ozzie for less than 200K each. I’m about to collect the Boss and I think I’m going with Chipper. I’ll shoot for getting Ted at some point but I’m broke now. Ha ha

Don't blame you, mate.
I have the stubs but really don't want to engage with it.Early days, but i'm enjoying Ted far more than Chipper so far.
Hope you have more success with Chipper. -
The communication on the whole is absolutely terrible.
they have been silent since the all star game they don't want to face the community they are so tone deaf its sad.

@SoldierHill71_PSN
Me too…silly me thought he’d be the collection rewardMany thought that!
-
@NotesOfJohn_PSN Thank you. It’s really a coin flip. I loved both the Chipper Retro Lightning and Ted Summer cards.
-
IMO I don't like this varient for Spooky, got none of the good vouchers
-
Funny stuff. Reminds me of why I quit playing after 23. At least retirement has gotten rid of my MLB The Show rage lol
-
I don't understand the outrage over this. They are just different color cards right? If you want them cool, if not just ignore it.
-
@Pergo_MLBTS Well said.
If things in your life bother you, just ignore em. That's the key to life.
-
I think I understand...So if I exchange these Red diamonds, get lucky and get the voucher for Randy, I may as well buy a Randy, because then I'd collect and get the variant, and be able to sell that one, bonus free Randy.
-
Sorry I’m not fully understanding.
So say I get the Polanco voucher. I can exchange the Polanco I earned, plus the voucher and get the variant?
But then if I want the old card art instead I’m SOOL because it’s gone?
