Just a reminder, FOTF No Choice SUCKS
-
0-4 so far, not even one f'in card I wanted. With the AL East I even thought, ok anyone but Manoah anyone but Manoah, so of course I get f'in Manoah.
F You SDS, another of your many bad decisions
-
I thought you could pick also until I got to the first AL West, being a Ranger fan I obviously couldn't wait to get Seager. Thankfully that's who I got but should've been a choice pack.
-
I got Murphy Kelly and then wander so far…. I’d bet I get realmuto to keep the catcher them in the NL East

The second six packs you earn higher up the program path are choice packs. So you end up with 6 random and 6 choices.

I'm not quite sure why this is the thing that bothers so many people. They all have 90 OVRs. They are all comparable. But what's more, anyone 1ho wants to collect them all, can. SDS will overload us with these cards once the program is over. No I'm not a stooge, I'm bummed that TA is gone because of all the content missing. But this is not the reason to be upset.

MLB The Show players, and gamers in general, don't need much incentive or provocation to get angry.

So I did not get the players I want besides Acuna, but in a way I do like it. Atleast early game it prevents a ton of similar lineups, I see am seeing a ton of variety right now in FOTF on peoples team
-
I think if it was the other way around it would be better, the choice is unsellable and the random is sellable less people would complain (even though I know people would complain no matter)... It’s also one of those things, like the AL west, what was SDS supposed to do with Oakland, they literally traded everyone by Murphy, so.

I'm 0 for 12

Mostly just wishful thinking from people. If this was TA sure, but apparently these are program bosses, they don’t release bosses in conquest after the program ends.
The more likely thing to happen in my opinion is they just do a full 30 legends for another FOTF at some point like last time they came out. Then do the exact same thing. 6 random 6 choice, probably 95 overalls (which doesn’t make them all comparable) then when bigger collections come ask you to collect 30-40 of the 60 to start and move up.
It really adds up with how SDS does things as well, at the end of it all they’ll have given you 24 earn-able cards but also given you the option to sell half of them and need to buy them back, which is great for SDS. Think of it as a longer “silver topps now” that people always sell and find out they need back later but the price is 10x what they got. Which is also great for hardcore DD players that invest for the long haul. Not great for the clueless Credit Card users but SDS always give you a way to make stubs of of those guys

This would make more sense and what I wanted. Why force people to play with cards they dont like? Oh so they spend money on stubs to get cards they do like. Most casual players wont grind the way up to the choice. These clowns truly are going the EA route

Its hard to say what will happen for sure, but I think these current FOTF packs come back, and not just the end of the season. The only reason I'm confident in that is the unsellable golds in this program. There has never been more than 2 completely unattainable cards in a given year(besides the million stub waitlists). Do you really think they will make 30 gold cards completely disappear from ever being able to be collected again? I'm not so sure
-
Yeah, I agree with this
️. They would have to fully pivot from a game where everything was reasonably obtainable to one that shuts everyone out who waited a month or two to buy.I'm still trying to wrap my head around some of these changes but that would be a risky transition. It's one thing to make collecting a little more challenging and another to make it virtually impossible for anyone who hasn't started within the next 3 weeks.
-
I actually don’t mind it one bit. I’m using cards that I would have probably never used. Unless it was to unlock that particular players achievement. IMO it’s a nice change.
-
Just sucks that our earnable rewards were cut by more than half within the first program of 22. I think that is something to keep in mind. Yes, it is best not to jump to conclusion and speak in hyperbole; and we went from 30 42 series cards that were unlockable through play to only 12 through play with the remaining cards left to be purchased or wait for weeks/months to finish the first featured program collection through rewards in other programs.
For those connecting this change to EA and MUT, I can kinda understand that. I never played MUT but I remember when it first came out. You could earn hundreds of thousands of coin in game for completing one team collection. One year later, after realizing the money they made in microtransactions, the rewards were drastically reduced and continued on that path up-to this point in time (my buddies were irate)
Couple this with SDS using phrases like "quality of life" and not explaining what that means and how this change improves our experience. This all does not look good. It can be turned around, and it does not look good.

Murphy, Belli, Mullins and Acuna so far.

If I don’t get Chappy…..

And the good news is that you can pick Acuna when you earn the choice pack later in the program. I didn't get Tommy Edman for the NL central and he is the only one I truly wanted, but I'll get to choose him in a few more days or a week, however long it takes me to advance the program that far.
-
Here is the funny thing. The reason the pack was like this is cause we are the people to blame. Yes us. Last Year the threads were
I choose the same one. oh the duplicates. So for SDS not having to answer to all the people that were in a rush choosing a card they made it that way.
-
So far I got Haniger, Cronenworth who I wanted, and a better version of Chapman. Not bad, I guess.
