Program Collections
-
I collected Finest Kerry Wood last month because I figured why not even though I had maxed out the program. Now he is a collection option and I don't get credit? Can't say I understand the logic there SDS. Looks like I got shorted 30k XP in this program.
-
Same here. I collected Chapman for 200 stubs. I had already finished the program so the XP meant nothing. As far as I can tell, this is the first time you haven't been able to double dip on collections in The Show.
-
I understand the logic. Why would they let you have 120,000 XP for free every program? And yes @Pennstatefencer_MLBTS this is the first time you haven't been able to double dip, but it's also the first time you are allowed to collect the same cards for strictly XP. Double dipping in collections/xp is different than double dipping in XP twice
-
Same here, what is this? Either let me collect it or don’t. add the same cards. Not my problem if you want to recycle the program collection

Do you know if they gave any kind of warning before hand? Maybe I just missed it. I don't mind the fact that you can't double dip... it's the fact that they could have been more transparent since it is different from how they have handled collections in the past.

They said it on stream. I know you can't expect everyone to watch the streams but its not like they didn't say anything
-
If you can't collect the player again then it should be checked off or something. Leaving it open makes you think it can still be collectable. I also don't see this as double dipping. They put out a program with no expiration 5 days before the main program was set to expire.
-
Really wishing I hadn’t collected any of them last program for 0 XP and 800 stubs…

But people can set up multiple march to October runs or RTTS players (if I understand that from other postings) and game the system to quickly get bosses hours after release?
Like others I “collected” Kerry + Chapman because they were no sell anyways so seemed like no difference…..ultimately earned nothing for them as I had already maxed the program (thanks to 2xXP and the conquest extreme).
Other “collect” missions like milestone/award series still allow you to select people already “collected” in other programs….I’d be irked if I really can’t collect the earned cards in the program.

You still actually have to play the MTO and RTTS stuff each time though. This is getting free XP for something already completed. And you haven't been able to double up collection XP at all. Double dipping usually refers to using the same cards you collected for Brett on McCutchen. The XP collections haven't been the same in any program
-
Is it just for Wood or is it for all 4 of them?
-
Yep, I collects last month just to get the worthless stubs. Lost 90k xp by doing it.
Not happy.
-
Same here. I collected those extreme cards after the program ended and it didn’t help at all, I just did it because it was available and now we could’ve added them now. Not happy about it at all.
-
How would being able to collect the finest cards again for this program be any different than when they make a collection for X number of a certain type of cards? If they make a program collection for 25 All Star cards or something like that, a person is allowed to 'double dip' and collect the sames cards for a second time that you've collected for Brett or Cutch.

Because you are still only getting XP the one time in your scenario. The first time you are using them for Brett/Cutch and the second you are using them for XP. You aren't collecting the same exact cards for XP twice

Actually it is your problem hence the thread started about said topic.

Usually you can’t use cards for multiple programs. This caught me off guard.

I actually thought about not collecting Kerry Wood last collection, but I thought that SDS wouldn't make him two program collections. If SDS knew this and mentioned it in a stream then it could have been a note by the collection. The more I think about this the more i think that Extreme should have dropped the same time as this program if things were going to be handled this way.
-
They did mention in the stream that if you didn't get them by the time the new program dropped; you could still collect them for this program.
However, I agree that it should've only been for the program that was active when it dropped or waited until today to release it.
People that caught on to this waited until today to lock them in and if they allow you to do all 4; that would've been 120K in XP within seconds.
Not thought out by SDS.

I think it sucks, im happy I got donaldsosn today so I got the 30xp, but yeah kinda meh they gave that out last program then same thing.
