All Time Teams Program - Greg Maddux and 5 Other Legends
-
My take on this...
They've probably seen only a small percentage of the community finish Extreme in past years. It drops late in the year, and you either have to be good enough to beat it or grind PXP for months.
I'm not big on variant cards, but I enjoy Extreme, so I'll still do it for the challenge. And I'll complete the other program too because, well, OCD.
Casual players can get the good cards, and those of us who want the challenge still have it. Even though I'd personally be happy just playing Extreme, I can appreciate giving everyone a path to the rewards.
I don't know. I think they got this one right.
I agree, I honestly think it’s genius to offer a variant for people that want to do the extreme challenges.
-
The variant isn’t even cool looking, it’s just so mid. I actually like the regular one better. The all blue is boring, basically same as terry P
-
If memory serves the 2020 version of signature teams was all 3 inning game moments against each team then each division then each league then a final 9 inning game against an all mlb team.
My guess is this will be similar but will stop at divisions. One “legend” per division -
Like I said, to each his own but on the Twitter link I posted, a lot of the streamers and their followers who are presumably the folks who would enjoy the Extreme Program, think the Variants are ridiculous and I agree.
-
Games I think were on all star difficulty with league and mlb game on hall of fame.

@Jeff7407_PSN
I think you are right. I remember having to face outlier Nate Pearson on HOF in the last game. -
Ill probably do the extreme challenge, but getting a variant is not exciting. A chase selector pack seems a bit more fitting.
Rewards are a bit pointless now anyway. Which is fine in November, I guess - but its been that way since August....power creep issue...
-
I go back and forth on the variants. I have no issue with them being just cosmetic upgrades of existing cards but I can also see it not really being very motivating for players.
But on the flipside are those who think they should be slightly boosted versions and I have thoughts
- Many of these cards may already be maxed out on some attributes
- I kind of have an issue with giving really good players even better cards for being good. They are not the ones that need them.
- Along with above, if the boosted extreme variants or sellable, it gives good players more ways to earn stubs off lesser players who can't do extreme.
-
@Dolenz_PSN possibly unpopular opinion but this variant [censored] is taking away possible slots for people who could get 99s who probably won’t.

But streamers and their followers find everything ridiculous. So that’s not a great way to judge it.

I don't believe that. My thinking that if not for the variants we would simply have 1 program with 6 rewards.
That said I could not care less about getting a variant. They are for gloating online. They have even less use to offline only players.
-
@Dolenz_PSN fair u very easily could be right.
-
It’s crazy they pay for the rights to these players and don’t have 99’s.

Hank AaronAgain, SDS should be ashamed of themselves. Creativity is GONE. What are we doing here?!?!?
-
@Bridge-Piece_XBL Oh, okay. Thanks for your opinion.
-
Saying creativity is gone when they are clearly trying something different is a bit ridiculous. If the ideas are good or not remains to be seen (and that will vary by person anyway)
This is the time where they should be experimenting, and they are. I can't understand why this would only be 6 cards, but they also started revealing stuff early so maybe there is more to this.
I do wish the variant art was a little less lazy though. Its just the regular award card art.
