RIP The Future Is Bright: Event 1

RIP The Future Is Bright: Event 1
This was the hardest fought 8 wins in my history of playing the show. If I'd been smart I would have spent this time playing Showdown instead...

Real question: Is the intent of events to make the rewards more exclusive and harder to achieve this year? You need more wins divided between fewer sub-events. Where we had sets of 3 last year we have pairs of 2 so far in 2020 with each requiring 35 wins. With last years voucher system a set of 3 events might require somewhere between 40-45 wins to unlock all the player card rewards only needing roughly 15 wins per mini-event.

I'm not even bothering spending time on that Event with such terrible rewards... Rather rage about those Gold Glovers and CY Young Pitchers in those Veteran Difficulty Showdowns...

Way too many wins required for a 6 inning event. I’ve gotten up to 10 wins but only playing to knock out some online missions/TA innings.

Some people have had the great fortune of getting quits in the first inning 50 times. I had no such fortune lmao. I'll buy bohm when his price lowers. Hopefully we get another week or two of Bohm as the 50 win

Any new team requirements? Not at home to see.

“Build your team with Prospects, Future Stars, and Rookies, along with any silver, bronze, or common players.”

Max team overall is 88.

Nice. Can knock out the last two missions for Jackie. But the overall cap of 88 is interesting given they just released a boat load of content 90+ in this category. Like hey grind for this sweet new stuff...but you can't use it.

There’s also more rewards in the events in general with all of the packs. I feel way more incentivized to grind event games knowing there’s a new reward awaiting me in a few games.

This is an improvement from last years voucher system. If you missed an event last year, you could never reach the top reward.

I like the new system too but it's kind of a double edged sword. Last year the top players would drop off after a few days leading the rest of us to slug it out but this year they keep on grinding and I get matched up with a WS flag every other game lol. Hopefully they figure out a few more tweaks to make it a better experience for everyone.
