    Exchanges aren’t but when they force us to spend money to do it then it becomes predatory. If they gave us cards and didn’t force us to spend money it won’t be bad.

    I think we’re using “predatory” pretty loosely here. I get why people would rather earn these cards through a program. I’d prefer that too. But you can do the exchanges with stubs you earn in-game, or skip them if the cost feels too high. What specifically about these exchanges makes you feel like you’re being forced to spend real money?

    Idk specifically about this but having to exchange only diamonds for like 120k stubs to get woods in November is predatory

    I didn't do the exact math but its like 500k to get the 4 cards maybe?

    SDS knew it would inflate the market and nobody would have any reason to hoard quick sell live series diamonds

    Online is brutal, I deleted both fb and ig but sds had been shifting more to the predatory spectrum side compared to past years

    Completely agree doing a live series exchange is great but to limit it to 85+ was ridiculous. Anyone who has played this game for any amount of time is basically programmed to quick sell or market any duplicate diamond live series. This should have been exchange ALL tiers towards them and NO ONE would have been mad, we would've been like cool 4 extra free cards i don't have to pack luck into

    Exactly.

    Pretty sure we've all got countless Golds, Silvers, Bronzes, and Commons just sitting there in our binders. Let us exchange those.

    I'm about to delete Twitter altogether. Can MLB The Show just text me the content drops/updates so I can skip the rest of the garbage on that site?

    I quit Twitter about 2 years ago. I refused the name change. I thought 'X' was incredibly dumb. I loved being on since '11, I think. There were too many legends in their own minds on there, but i loved it for sports and the music people that I followed. I was @LetsgoMetsgo. It was like cigs for me from 12-17. I thought I could never quit, but wanted to. I got put in Twitter jail, which angered me, so I felt that here's my chance to escape, since it was a pain to get out of 'jail.' I've never looked back! It has to be a million times worse, since '24.

    Then why not just give everyone the 4 cards for free with no effort? Basically what you are asking for here.

    It would not be free though. You played to earn the packs that gave you all of those duplicates.

    What's the difference between exchanging them directly for these cards vs needing to quick sell them all, use those stubs to buy live series diamonds, then exchanging those diamonds?

    I will continue to be se this word to answer that question. Hoops. Just extra hoops to jump through.

    Of course, properly valued, the sheer number of commons or bronzes you would need would be HUGE.

    Or just play the game naturally and exchange when you get the cards. Stop making everything about day 1 acquisitions.

    I'm not. I am not even going to attempt this. You should be familiar enough with me that you know I am not a person who has to have a card Day 1.

    But you did not answer my question. Say I have a bunch of duplicate commons-golds. I earned these cards the same exact way I would earn a live series diamonds (earning and opening packs). But, if I want to use those duplicates to help with this, I first have to go through the process of quick selling every single one of them to get stubs to then turn around and buy Live Series Diamonds so that I could exchange those.

    It's extra steps for the sake of making it more of a hassle.

    You weren't intended to use your existing inventory, and honestly I think that's completely fine. I seriously don't think SDS really expected anyone to sell all their bronzes and silvers for this like you are suggesting.

    Of course, if their UI wasnt a disaster we wouldnt have all of these bronzes and silvers in the first place.

    I rarely watch streams, but I caught a popular creator today calling out how much other creators complain. It was refreshing.

    Complaining, not even close.
