Today's Finest Cards Revealed
-
I swear - if SDS came out and announced they are disabling the ability to buy stubs for the rest of this game - people would still call them greedy.
They'd be like "Id rather pay 500 bucks to SDS than play another round of Diamond Quest!"
The most galling and inhumane request that SDS can make - according to most Show players - is that you ask them to actually keep playing The Show.

What you said makes sense in most cases, but not in the context of this 85-91 live series diamond exchange. This exchange does not incentivize playing the game. Instead it incentivizes buying lots of live series duplicates for exchange purposes… in November!!! -

Instead it incentivizes buying lots of live series duplicates for exchange purposes… in November!!!I disagree, you get a lot of show packs and ballin packs from playing the game (depending on which content you play...if you only repeat draft conquest you are out of luck). Vault packs have been handed out more and more frequently. The forever path will have some more stuff, the Finest mini season will also probably be loaded
They will also probably release a few conquest maps in December as well
There are a LOT of live series diamonds still to be earned for people who play the game regularly, and they should be making content for the longer duration players as opposed to the players that are stopping after Finest/for GTA/etc
Don't get me wrong, I would greatly prefer a major Finest program that takes 50+ hours to complete similar to an old style TA drop. But this at least allows people that want the cards in 30 minutes to be able to do so (those same people would mostly HATE a program with a lot of effort) and the people that want to earn them over time can do that as well. Its not great content, but its something different and I really don't think it is particularly greedy.

Just a FYI there is no content today, it's tomorrow and Friday

Ah, thanks.
I don't know why I thought it was three straight days.
Not a fan of them taking a day off and forcing fans of other teams to wait even longer for their finest reveals.

The second question is - what is even the value of these cards? How many of them do you actually really want?
A few of them are playable, but not better than 5 other options you already have.
Thats the part about this whole "card collecting" thing that I dont get. Where's the incentive?

@rubicante23_PSN
I’m getting them for the collection because I don’t get every card in the game, just enough to finish the L&F collection for the voucher. Exchanging the Live series diamonds is cheaper than buying Soto, McLain, etc. and if you do it your way (earning from packs via gameplay and saving them to exchange later) It’s even cheaper or free.And you’re right, it wasn’t that bad to exchange them. Just a little weird.

I just got Turang. So, that leaves just Wood at 500K exchange points. Our dear friend Mr. Glasnow is worth approximately 58K so you need 9. He’s going for 7K stubs or thereabouts so 63K is not bad compared to the 150K for the ones you have to buy. I’m a collector so I think this isn’t too bad. All 4 Exchange cards total are 1.4M or 25 Glasnows which is 175K stubs. That’s an average of 44K per player. I’m wondering if there will be more exchanges the next two drops. Good luck!

@PapaRick68_MLBTS
Good point about Thursday and Friday drops having exchanges also. That’s definitely a possibility at this point. -

I wondered about multiple exchanges in either this thread or the other. We knw we are getting more packs because this one specifically was labeled as Finest Pack 1. The Exchange was not labeled with a #1 though so maybe that is it?
Of course maybe they don't need to number them and can simply add more cards to the existing ones.

@Dolenz_PSN Thank you for your input, Mr. Dolenz, If I came up with an idea similar to one of yours, I consider it an honor and it shows that I’m actually soaking up the nuggets of knowledge exchanged in this forum. Rick
P.S. I have no idea what this emoji is but it came up when I typed respect. It seemed a lot cooler than me calling you either Yoda or The Show Whisperer.

My biggest gripe with this concept? The strange conversion rates. 75,926 for a 90? 44,363 for an 88? Why not make these even numbers, maybe in increments of 5,000. I like math, but it's a pain to figure out the most efficient way to complete a collection. For Woods after exchanging 8 Glasnow's, you have 36,728 points remaining. An 87 is worth 34,130. Two 85's are 40,884.
I know - just "over exchange". Stubs are plentiful. I get that argument. It's just weird.
-
The exchange system has always been a bit clunky (as are most things UI in The Show)
Even finding where the exchange interface is located is an adventure.

I got Wood last night so I’m all set. Actually kinda cheap for all four players relative to other cards. I guess I just don’t completely get why the exchange and those Spooky Variants so late in the year. I just want to complete the next Master Collection so please don’t distract my pea brain from my ultimate goal!

My guess is they are experimenting. Better to put these in now and see the negative reaction then make it a 'feature' for next year.
They both seem like attempted solutions to pack openings feeling like garbage with 99% dupes

@Teak2112_MLBTS I hear ya.

These cards need to be captain cards SDS!
