Lol I don’t think it’s the big collection burning you out, it’s your addiction and lack of self control. It’s crazy to me so many feel the need to complete everything ASAP. These things are meant to be completed over months, unless you want to drop cash.
That's one of the problems with the direction this game is headed. If you are a serious The Show Player, that means you only have about a year with the game. So if you are a "collector" type of player, then you NEED to finish these collection asap so that you can use the reward for the rest of the year.
"Collector" type players are going to finish collections as fast as possible. That's how they get their excitment. Only problem is, A) It's a LONG grind, and B) they only have a limited time to enjoy their reward.
In game's like Apex,Fortnite, Destiny etc. you at least get to keep what you grinded for.

I'm not a serious show player that plays for the entire year. I'm an April to August and back again in February/March player. I get various collections done asap so I can enjoy the cards in my short time with the game.

This is 2 years in a row now where the 1st big collection has killed the game for me and I wonder if it burns you guys out too or does it do the opposite? For me, I play the heck out of the game and enjoy it quite a bit after release and continue to enjoy it for awhile. SDS then teases the big collection and I start getting excited and start trying to collect as many cards as I can so I can complete the collection in the coming days. Shortly after the collection is unveiled and it turns out I have nowhere even close the amount of cards I need to complete it. Undeterred I begin to grind.... and grind.... and grind..... and grind some more probably playing 3-4 times the normal amount trying to get the cards I need. Then about 3 weeks later after grinding nonstop the burnout completely sets in and I am done with the game never completing the collection and ending my time with the game prematurely in my opinion. I am curious if many of you guys feel the same because if that's the case I'm curious what the retention rate to DD is before and after the 1st big collection and if SDS would be better off either not doing a big collection at all or drastically lowering the requirements?
I don't even think about the collection after I find out that I'm no where close. Devers at P5 is just fine for me and if I get him later then great. They always release throw away cards in BR for example to fill in the gaps so I collect as I go and check in from time to time. I say don't sweat it since he will be there all year.

I am in such a mixed place with this game. I like the way online rated and Franchise play better, but programs, cards and collections draw me to DD. I have not really liked the programs this year, but I still get excited when a new one drops. I am starting to play less already, so that is probably about six months earlier than I fell off last year. I could really see myself not doing anything other than BR for the next few seasons and casually working through some programs on the switch in the evening. Gameplay is the biggest factor for me and it is just such a drop-off that I can tell my interest is going quick.
