All Time Teams Program - Greg Maddux and 5 Other Legends
-
The answer is to release it earlier and have some grindier ways to get it. Last year's was released too late for the repeatable goal to be feasible.
Why not have missions like get 100 hits with Jolt Utley? Then hit 30 HR with the Utley you get in the program? Steal 60 bases with any Elly De La Cruz. etc . Some people hate those type of missions, but as an alternative to hitting for the cycle in a moment it seems fine to me.
-
When it comes to Extreme - there are two groups on different sides of the planet. Is it extreme to have to beat a good CPU team on legend? Is it extreme to have to beat cpu five times in a row on legend? I'm far from an elite player (and on the wrong side of 40), but both of those things are fairly easy for me, and a pretty boring challenge. On the flip side, we've got people who play on Veteran and can't do Showdowns.
There's no reconciling those two groups, y'all. How in blazes do you design a challenge that satisfies those two groups?
This is why, while I don't like the variants personally, I think this was a great way to do it. I do enjoy doing the Extreme showdowns & Extreme conquest. For me it's satisfying enough while not being extremely easy or extremely difficult. Constantly beating up the CPU on Veteran is where I get a little bored (though I do it anyway if I'm super tired but want to play).

By The way, the leaks, if you want to believe them, are:
Maddux
Utley
Nolan Ryan
Joe Mauer
Lou Gehrig
Hank Aaron -
It’s crazy they pay for the rights to these players and don’t have 99’s.
Lou Gehrig
Willie Stargell
Bob Feller
Satchel Paige
Roger Clemens
Nolan Ryan
Hank AaronAgain, SDS should be ashamed of themselves. Creativity is GONE. What are we doing here?!?!?

You’re confusing “don’t like” with “can’t do.”
It would be absurd if I or someone else posted “some of these online players can’t do conquest maps.” -

It would be absurd if I or someone else posted “some of these online players can’t do conquest maps.”Conquest maps anyone can do, but unfortunately Showdowns... there's a small % of folks that can't actually do them.
-
I understand that. But a lot of us just don’t like showdowns. One reason I don’t like showdowns is that stats and PXP don’t count for missions on programs, parallels, team affinity, etc

Yeah I don't like showdowns either, but I do enjoy the Extreme ones. I'm above average though. There are certainly less skilled folks who can't beat them. I know this because when I first started playing this game, I was one of those people.

Yes, hopefully a 99 Lou Gehrig.
-
Todays reveal is (the leak I posted above was right on this one)
One of the first comments on Facebook said that SDS was scraping the bottom of the barrel. Now, this card does not entice me but I wonder how a Hall of Famer with an MVP award and a .306 lifetime average is bottom of the barrel? These kind of statements is why I don't always trust "the fans".
Wonder what complaints we will get about Gehrig?
-
You'll get zero complains from me about Gehrig. I always hit better with him than any other first basemen. Wish SDS didn't wait until November to release his card.
-
@Dolenz_PSN They’ve officially confirmed the first three right now? Bhlade the streamer said on X that he saw the leak but didn’t want to spoil it and a lot of people are annoyed. Ha ha. Lou Gehrig should be fun. His Vintage card was pretty good when it was Supercharged for those few days.

Well, I did spoil it above. Sorry.
-
@Dolenz_PSN No apology necessary. I was dying to know.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS yes I don’t mind a lengthy program. When Griffey returned to the game, he was the big prize but the grind was so long I didn’t get him until like July!! Tons of missions to get him!!!
-
Joe Mauer is one of the best catchers in the game and his swing is awesome. Ive always been able to hit with him even against lefties.
-
The thing is - there aren't a ton of people who are just "decent" at hitting in this game. It's a big hurdle to go from "pretty bad at hitting" to "pretty decent" - more than any other game I've ever played, there's a skill wall really early in this game. After you get to pretty decent, you may as well just keep going and become good - you've already done the hard part. There's not another huge hurdle until you try to become "elite," which is where all of us normies get our doors blown off by the 1000-plus crowd.
So, we get people on one side of the skill gap or the other - and not really that many people who float in the middle.
-
I like the concept, if I’m reading it correctly. One normal program and an extreme program. It gives people the choice. I do not like the variant card idea. Give me something different. You can’t just change the style of the card. Change attributes. Make a different card all together. Idk I feel variants are going to be a huge thing next year.
-
@LIONED-33_XBL I hope not it’s the dumbest thing in this game unless they make variants boosted.
-
Nolan Ryan has been confirmed for tomorrow
