Why did we get rid of the option to unlock all TA players and then also get rid of the inning bosses as a whole, it’s just less content and less that can be unlocked for free. I get SDS wants to make some more profit but by that point just find a way to make TA cards obtainable through either pay or playing.
They didn't get rid of the option to unlock all TA players; they're just limiting you to a select few at a time.
That way you don't have someone, that has no life or finds an exploit, get all 30 on the first night.
So they punished everyone for the actions of a few, and you’re supporting it. Cool
It's a marathon; not a sprint.
I couldn’t give less of a [censored] whether someone could get all 30 in one night, and you shouldn’t either. I only care about the fact that we’re not even getting half of the content we got last year, with most of it behind a paywall for no reason.
Before game even releases you’re claiming we’re not getting half the content???
Let’s just put down our flailing, waving arms and pick up a controller and enjoy the game.
Are you blind or just really, really bad at simple math? Before, we got an Inning program and a separate Team Affinity program. You could earn an inning boss as well as 30 team affinity players. Now we get 12 players in the featured program, and you don’t even get to choose 6 of them.
I’m just considering that it’s unrealistic to compare a 9 month life cycle of content against a single night of information that projects 4 weeks. Compare day 1 to day 1 as you like, but the larger picture (entire life cycle) is more important (maybe just to me).

That has zero relevance to me or my game
And yet, somehow you feel the need to continually preach your side regardless of whether it has relevance to any of us.

When did I ever say I’m talking about the full game cycle? I’m obviously talking about day 1. But you could very easily infer that if they’re doing stuff like this on day 1, they likely aren’t going back to how it was before later in the year.

It's not behind a paywall. The other 18 players will be released in packs that you can earn later on in the game's cycle.
Yes, if you want ALL 30 NOW; then you'll have to pony up the stubs.
But if you wait; you'll eventually get them all for free.
Just like @KDClemson_MLBTS stated. He got all 30 TA 1 42 Series players last year by just playing Showdown.
I don't remember the points per Showdown they had at the beginning of the year; but if in not mistake the TA path was 150 pts.
Let's say Showdown gave you 30pts per completion and you were good enough to jump straight to the final mission and beat it within 20 mins.
That means 5 Showdowns; which would take you roughly 1 hr and 30 mins would get you all 5.
Multiple that by 6 and you had all the TA 42 players, plus all the packs, in about 9 hrs of straight gameplay.
That's what they wanted to stop. They even said it in the stream. TA took over the game and it wasn't meant to do that. It was meant to give people something to work towards between content drops.
Then you eventually had the same people, who did completed the whole TA Stage 1 program in 9 hours complain that there wasn't any more content to be earned.
It wasn’t 9 hours it was closer to 50 than 9

You didn’t, you offered a general/broad “we’re not getting half the content”. We have no basis for assuming what their content release is going to be like, but agreed they’re not using the same release style/schedule as last year, but that’s not uncommon. They try things differently each year (hello immortals + [censored] bobbleheads!!!) trying to create a better game.
I personally think it’s great they’re trying to create more longevity in the early content; starting with TA2 I had all 30 players the weekend of release. And that was fine, but I’m looking forward to not pulling trout in 2 different series!!

I think people need to rewatch stream. With TA yeah you got a diamond from every team, but when TA 2 came out those cards wern't relevant anymore. And in 2 month period in programs u only got 2 bosses. With the new way in a 2 month period you are going to get 14+Bosses. It's better lineup diversity.
And nothing is said about needing all of them for a later collection so if you are buying them that's on you nothing indicating you have too.

Uhh hmmm, I'm thinking there is about a 99.999999999% chance that they very much will be in a collection and 99.99% in being in multiple collections!

And if all are needed for a collection i will bet you 99.9 % Certainty they will give you an oppurtunity to get them for free! Just like ASG, kitchen sink, HR Derby packs how many of those did you open for free in 21?

You’re misunderstanding, I don’t want to have a variety of cards, I wanted all 30
-
Some people are mad because you can'y get all 30 cards but come on, we should know by now they will release them in other programs, conquests, whatever. They did it all year in 2021.
My gripe is simply having less to do. Some people finished TA by exchanges and got everything quickly..good for them. I like taking my time. Buuuuut, from appearances this simply looks like a lot less content. 1 reward path in the place of 7.
However, I think anyone saying this is premature freaking out is right. We have no clue what lies behind the curtain and what more will be released in the coming weeks and months.

And you can still get all 30. It's just instead of them giving people the option to abuse the system; if you want all 30 of them now, you'll have to buy 18 of them.
And just out of curiosity; why do you want all of them now?
And is it that you WANT them; you DONT NEED all 30 yet.

I know it seems that way but it is all xp based regardless how you play it all they did was consolidate it so you could play more for 1 goal instead. TA you had to play with specific players to unlock next reward, this way you can play with whoever you want for same goal.
All those PA's by certain players from certain teams to get certain players was annoying. I want the team with who i want not be forced to use somebody just to unlock a player. It's better I believe. Plus you are using same players more often allowing you to parallel quicker.
