Hey everyone, happy Trout day! @Ikasnu was back with me on The GoodOkay Podcast to discuss this exciting new collection, merely minutes after it was dropped.
Listen to hear how it works, our tips, and how far we are. Included in the second half are 6th inning and Headliner overviews, as well as some MLB Opening Weekend and roster update discussion.
Enjoy and have a great day!

A) This wasn't a exciting new collection. Everyone is confused and disappointed.
B) Save your tips too because we all know that's simply code for "Spend $ or you ain't collecting Trout."
Thanks anyway
A) I was excited, if a bit underwhelmed by the card. Believe it or not a lot of us will do it just for the fun of it, not because the card is so great. I enjoyed the speculation this past week and then the buildup and realization when it was Trout. You’re telling me you weren’t excited all week to see who it was??
B) I haven’t spend a dime past $60 to buy the game and I’m sitting on 1 M stubs and just a future future stars away from Trout. And it’s not like I’ve flipped or played the market a ton. And there are definitely tips because you only need 15/18 vouchers.
Thanks for your feedback, but if you aren’t interested in Trout or my podcast, then please just ignore them and move on.
Lol at not needing to purchase stubs. Some of us have jobs, wives, kids etc... Those people, world series level players or not, will have to purchase stubs to complete the collection, not enough time in the day for the game, nice try though. Which is exactly why we've had a stub sale the past week. Also, I'll comment on your special thread any time I choose. Or do you only want positive comments? Is that how this works? Thanks for the advice though.
Work job. Have kids. Have wife. Am in the middle of selling my home. Have 600k that I could easily put towards Trout from investing. Have 11/15 required for him, haven't spent more than $80 for the MVP edition. Dont need to buy stubs my guy. If you want to sit here and whine about why you're not getting a participation trophy, you can make like a tree and get outta here.
I guess I must be busier than you eh?
What percentile do you believe you're in with collecting Trout no $ spent? 10th? You can't have much company.
So, spend $ or play for hundreds of hours to collect.... wait for it...... Trout ....when we already, currently, have a live series boosted 96 overall Trout with quirks in play. I grinded for Honus too. Grinding a little longer and I still wont have Trout because I'm not a complete loser that wants to collect him just to collect him or so he can be a possible bench bat. With Honus at least he started for me all year.
Trout is a massive, massive disappointment. You know it, I know it and the majority of players know it. No sugar coating to be done. So own it. This is a failure. Say it. No one wants to complete such a costly collection with the inability to ever use those stubs again for a card that's a little better than his current. It's a joke.
Carry on though.
who pissed in your cheerios?
The guy who thought Trout was a good idea.
I'm not saying it was a good idea to have Trout as the main collection. Too many OF, but the card looks fantastic. It met the criteria of 5 tool, top player of all time category. What did you expect, honestly? I want to know.
Aaron, Dmiaggio, May's
Or maybe a card that doesnt have a 95 overall version costing 200k + stubs if you dont luckily pull it in a pack

I love how everyone that can't do things efficiently has the arrogant attitude that their life is somehow harder. If you live your life in the same dumb inefficient fashion you play the show im sure it is but thats noones fault but your own. Is Trout what anyone wanted? Nope but he is the best card in the game next to Mantle.
Maybe it is. How would you know? The only evidence we have is somehow this super busy guy collected 99 Trout without spending a dime. Again, what percentile is that success at?

I've put maybe $20 in the game since buying it. I have a wife and plenty of things going on in my life right now and yet I am 1 card away from Mantle which ill have after 1 more level. If you've been building up your collection this whole time, working the market and being efficient this card isn't that hard to get.

If you purchased the game 2 weeks ago? Then what? See the cost of live series lately? Home run derby cards? You get to use the wack Trout card once Ruth, Mantle, May's, Teddie etc are already available if you dont spend a dime and just grind away starting 2 weeks ago.... Yayyy
Cost also doesnt come close to equaling the item. Awesome.
This card choice was a monumental failure. Slap in the face to all that grinded their a$$ off.
"Here you go for all your hours put in guys. A trout card rated just 4 notches higher than his other card"
Continue to defend this abortion of a collection if you wish. I'm out

You're out! YES! If you got the game 2 weeks ago, that is your problem.

Wow guys this blew up. @fuerelise1810 I understand and agree with what you’re saying about Trout being a bit underwhelming.
Where I have an issue is that if you actually listened to the podcast I believe we actually said that we were a bit disappointed in Trout. You came in with a comment that could’ve been proven wrong if you had actually listened to the content you were bashing.
If you give it a listen and have some legit feedback - good or bad - I will take it to heart. Someone left a 1 star review that the audio was terrible, which it was. I’m glad he left that review and now we have a new system that is much better. But when it’s obvious that you just read my post and took your bitterness about Trout out here, without listening, I’m not too concerned with what you have to say.

Why did they make it so hard to acquire Mike Trout. Basically the people who can only get him are the ones who play the game so much and all day long and the people who put money into the game. They need to make it easier so that people who are less fortunate can get Mike Trout and have fun on the game getting the most popular cards and to be able to have them ok their team and to use them.
Yea, this isn't really meant for us casual players unfortunately. I love the game but I also divide my gaming tine with a few other games. I have accepted the fact that most cards are not attainable unless I spend real money, which I won't do.
I play 4-5 hours a day but isnt very good so Ill never see Trout

Anyone else have 3x Gold Legacy Ken Griffey Jr's and can't get the Title Topps for Mike Trout? I think I'm the only one.
No because everyone else picked one of each instead of taking Griffey 3 times in the choice pack

I commented on the 2 statements made in the op. Neither statement required me to listen to your podcast.
"with me on The GoodOkay Podcast to discuss this exciting new collection"
It's not
"Listen to hear how it works, our tips, and how far we are."
Ok, I brought my attitude to this one. Because cmon man, tips? You mean like, play the game? How low do you believe everyone's intellect to be for you to think anyone needs a tip to do a self explanatory collection? Like I said in my last post before you tagged me. I'm out

Oof. As Dragon said, you took him 3x. Not sure what to tell you. Stinks that that mistake costs you so much.

Your best bet is to submit a ticket to SDS and see if they can reverse those two picks for you.

Understandable, but a lot of people don't have the time to grind the team affinity and showdowns to collect all of these and just to have fun playing this games with the cards that they make so hard to get. I just think that they need to make it possible to get these cards (specifically Trout) way easier so kids who can't play that much can get a chance to use these cards and to have them on their teams and to have fun playing this game instead of getting frustrated because you know you have to spend money and countless hours on this game just to get a specific card. Ya know?

Disagree. The best cards this year are by far the easiest to get in The Show history. No participation trophies.

I get that many of us were expecting someone like A-Rod, Bonds, Sosa/McGwire, DiMaggio, etc. but that just wasn’t even realistic. Your best bet was what, Mays? You guys would have raised hell to have to pay to get him two years in a row.
I’m on these forums a lot, and one of the more common things you’ll see is people wishing they had a 99 trout to play with while baseball season is still at its peak. You got your wish people.
[censored], now that I think about it I’m actually pretty stoked about this. Even got to profit big time and now we don’t gotta worry about what to do with cards we don’t want.

I spent most of the time flipping an didn't spend anything but money for game an 20$ my gf bought me other than that I have every big card an 2 million stubs.i actually need to play the game of baseball now after I did all that lol
I had a lol moment after I read your post. I too have spent so much time playing, moments, conquest and showdown that I say the same thing to myself. Hey, play some baseball games now.
I was just talking to my gf an normally doesn't pay attention to what I'm doing in the game but noticed I spend a lot of time in auction house.she asked me if I'm ever going to actually play baseball lol...weird thing is I've done every moment, conquest map, I got like 7-8 ta left to complete to 100% for stage 3 an just hit prestige level 6 today so I'm playing the game it just doesn't feel like it because I have only played rank like 3 times....I feel bad for people when I do start ranked because I'll have the "God squad" an will be starting from the very bottom lol

I understand where you're coming from but to me in every game there has to be certain rewards only the people really willing to commit will be able to get. Think Knights of the Round in FF7. Pain the [censored] to get but once you got it it was such a feeling of accomplishment.
