I warned everyone earlier… if Randy Johnson’s best card is in a mariners uniform, I’m going to start punchin groins. Everyone got fair notice. So don’t come crying to me if you haven’t protected your nuggets. I’ve got my punching gloves ready to go.

Why can't you just punch the meat like Rocky Balboa instead? That way, no one gets hurt.
Why go below the belt, Brandon? 🤪
If there's no DH, then that explains why there's a Trophy/Achievement for hitting a HR with a SP!
I'll reserve judgement until midnight, or so eastern.

I mean, they went so far in the "you'll get every card" direction last year, that I don't see how they can walk back from that. It would lead to massive disappointment for a large majority of their players (and, fairly, me included). We'll see how things go, I guess.

Well…because then I wouldn’t get to punch nards

I said this in another thread but it’s worth repeating: gameplay leaves much to be desired, but the SDS content team has earned the benefit of the doubt. They will give us plenty of opportunities to earn rewards. I imagine the next conquest map will have some FotF choice packs, for example. I’m sure they know that their gameplay is pretty shaky at best so they’re not going to set fire to the one thing all fans agree is working

Focus this year should really have been gameplay over content. Hitting is still a problem, “Perfect-Perfect” is not perfect. SDS knows how to do in game content and does it better than Madden and 2K.

I think that's part of the reason everyone is so against the changes. I'm not going to say anyone's opinions are wrong and completely defend SDS on this one. I get where everyone is coming from. It looks bad and could potentially ruin the only good thing this franchise has going for it. I'm just going to wait and see is all

The DH thing doesn't really bother me because people don't really need a 9th 99 overall in their God squad lineup. Also if stamina isn't fixed AND there is a DH there would be literally no reason to use the bullpen.
I can understand why people dislike the random FotF packs and TA being gone tho but I'm not gonna hate on it until I actually see how it plays out

To be fair, we haven’t played the game yet so it’s premature ejaculation to say that hitting is still a problem.

Your logic here is two wrongs make a right? Stamina needs fixed too. I assume it has been but who knows?

Universal DH is the rule in MLB. It should be the rule in MLBTS. It would also open up a lot of bat only cards that rarely get used now.

Maybe they didn’t add it because they still haven’t fixed 2-way players in DD. Covering up one bad thing with another and allowing the cover boy to still have some value.

I don't even like the DH rule, but the game should reflect the rule. Which in DD has never been right for years now.

I actually got more excited to play by the stream. Teams should have a lot more variety at the beginning of the year which is great.

Stubs are very important this year.

Featured Program was an L though.

That's the only program. No TA, no Player Programs,no new conquests.

Player programs will come when the game released last year there was no other player programs.

We are missing 3 conquest maps from last year yes they are the TA ones but they said more are coming.

They are changing up the process this year, this happen everytime they change up the format happen in 17, happen in 18 and happen in 19 it's been 3 years of the same structure it was time.for a change

SDS realized around late summer that 125 h/9 was a horrible mistake so they started dropping the new released SP. I think it's safe to assume they will continue their learned lesson through this entire year

Not “new” per say, but 4 maps w/ undiscovered rewards.

Truth be told (as some who spent around 90% of their time in conquest last year), mini seasons and ranked look especially tempting this year.

I agree with you there. I'm coming around now that I'm reading more about what was in the stream and what changes were made.

I just got the first Faces of the Franchise pack, looked at what I could get randomly given to me, and told myself “I’m okay with any of them but Haniger.” And guess who I got…

Why did they do this? Randomness in a choice pack? Wth
