I'm going to touch on your Conquest post.
Don't have maps expire. Just have the XP you get for 'finishing' that map tie into the program when I was released.
This way you don't have someone stockpile Conquest Maps so they can get a quick 100K+ for one program
They could put the innings on a point system like they do for the player programs. That would solve the stockpile problem.

You would still need to have the points you get for completing the map tied into when it was released.
Imagine a 99 Griffey being the main bis again and it comes out in the 10th Program but someone waited to do the previous 9 Conquest Maps until then and they get a ton of points towards obtaining him.
Kind of like how people stockpile MTOs and RTTS Archetypes now.
Would be worse.

“Siri, what is MLB the Show 2019-2021”?

The thing is the expired content isn't new in fact it's common practice. Most games call it seasons and most other games require you to pay to get full access to the rewards and then it still expires.

I was also thinking about this recently wondering why I don't play online as often (not gameplay related)? It is because with the timed programs I always feel obligated to fish stuff in order to not miss out, but would rather be able to achieve anything at my own pace and select what I could unlock or not. I have played 22 by far the least amount in recent years as these timed programs have begun feeling more like chores than previous.
Please return the program star style with a separate XP reward path, those were the good ole days

The one thing I haven't seen anyone mention in support of time limiting things is how much more smoothly the servers run this year without them having to track missions and progress from months worth of programs. Authentication seemed to create bottlenecks, especially last year.

They did the points thing back in 2020 and before that you need 300 points to get the bosses. I always struggled to get those 300 points and I am one of those that plays 30 minutes in the morning maybe a little after work but not a lot. Weekend mornings is when I have more time to do gaming. I like the xp style for the programs. I do miss the xp rewards path however.

Couple years ago they had Showdown challenges that didn't expire and you could get several different packs from them. I wish they'd bring that back.

20 is when I began playing DD, but it wasn't until after the season was over. All the previous years, I played Franchise and only Franchise. I don't have the institutional knowledge of how it used to be for DD since I haven't been at it that long, and I appreciate the input to fill in those gaps.
