I don’t understand why restricting our inventory = lineup diversity. I feel like it will be even worse.
When Set 3 rolls around, everyone is going to have a very similar lineup using Set 2 & 3, where if you kept Set 1 eligible, lineups would vary more. More 99s eligible, more lineup diversity.
Instead they are just forcing us to change our rosters instead of letting nature take its course. If everyone is saying we’ll want to quit using Set 1 players in July anyway, then why force us to?
I feel like we'll get the same players in Sets 2 & 3 and beyond, just different versions of those players so I don't foresee there being too many issues with Set 1 cards getting cycled out when the time comes.
That’s why I think this change is dumb. Why repeat player releases if we’re already at 99s? That limits lineup diversity rather than help it.
They just want you to buy a 99 Trout every 3 months rather than just once.
attributes won't be identical... for example I have Gold Rookie David Wright and Diamond Captain David Wright right now and they both have different strengths with Captain Wright having more power and speed... they both rake though... the interesting ones will be guys like Reggie Jackson who is getting a 97 Charisma today... will be interesting to see what a 99 Postseason (for example) looks like for him in say October.
Also MLB The Show doesn't "push" for you to buy stubs like the other games push for you to buy their virtual currency given the fact that you earn stubs while playing... the other games sell one currency (NBA 2K - VC, Madden - Points) while you earn a completely different currency (NBA 2K - MT Points, Madden - Coins) in their games.
I never said they’re pushing me to buy stubs. I just think you’d have more lineup diversity if all of the 99s were eligible all year instead of just forcing us to buy new 99s that are “in season.” It defeats the purpose.
Instead of repeating player releases, they should give other cards their 97+ if they really wanted to keep things fresh. Limiting us to in season cards is only going to limit lineup diversity.
I get what they tried. I just don’t think it was the best solution for what they were trying to solve.

Only thing I'm saying is they aren't forcing you to buy these cards and I interpret that as buying stubs to go into Marketplace to buy the card. We haven't even made it to Set 2 yet to really see what cards get released... I'm thinking we will get the same players because that's what we got in prior games and we already have some players that have multiple cards aside from Live Series and Flashback... now obviously the diamonds will be interesting to see what they do with those for same player but so far I feel like the cards will be different enough and plus its a way to keep you playing the game.
Plus giving players different ways to earn the different versions of the cards won't hurt either.
I don't recall how to get the WBC Trout but we could see Finest Trout get earned in a different way from that card and then earn All-Star Trout in a completely different way from those cards even if most if not all would still be available to "buy".
Ok. But how does that help lineup diversity?

line up diversity will never be a thing, majority will always use the best cards to win. Its nice to have all of these other options tho.

Because people who would want to keep using Set 1 cards still could. Cards aren’t going to be THAT much better. Any of these 97+s out now could be very usable until the end of the year, especially when paralleled. Even more so with pitchers. The problem has been not enough good options. Now we’ll have the options, we just can’t use them all at once.

Now we’ll have the options, we just can’t use them all at once.
missing the point, people now have to choose their wild card, i think that a lone is going to make line ups different, not just the same cards all year, that gets boring, new cards or refreshed cards. The 99's right now and 97's right all have their flaws, fielding, speed, clutch low on some, especially for some of the pitchers. But still you are always going to see the meta line ups most of the time.
-
I’m not missing any point. More cards available, better lineup diversity. If cards are really going to be that much better later, then like you said, those cards will be used more than what’s out now anyway. So why have 1 variable player as a wildcard instead of 26 if you want lineup diversity? Why would they limit that if everyone is going to be using cards released later anyway?

@BRETTSANT05 ,
@the_dragon1912 saidYou are going to have more than plenty set 2 cards before set 1 isn't usable though. You aren't restarting the grind. You just keep playing and get more and more cards on the way. Like I don't know for sure the the whole point seems to be that you doin't have to be constantly grinding to get more cards to the point where you can't play what modes you want to play
I do see his point though. Knowing that you cannot use your Set 1 cards, save for 1 wild card, to use in July makes me less interested in investing too much in Set 1 cards.
In previous games, there have been plenty of cards that I have used all year long in RS games that I acquired before summer. So in this regard, the game does somewhat restart after May 12.

I don’t understand why restricting our inventory = lineup diversity. I feel like it will be even worse.
When Set 3 rolls around, everyone is going to have a very similar lineup using Set 2 & 3, where if you kept Set 1 eligible, lineups would vary more. More 99s eligible, more lineup diversity.
Instead they are just forcing us to change our rosters instead of letting nature take its course. If everyone is saying we’ll want to quit using Set 1 players in July anyway, then why force us to?
I feel like we'll get the same players in Sets 2 & 3 and beyond, just different versions of those players so I don't foresee there being too many issues with Set 1 cards getting cycled out when the time comes.
That’s why I think this change is dumb. Why repeat player releases if we’re already at 99s? That limits lineup diversity rather than help it.
They just want you to buy a 99 Trout every 3 months rather than just once.
attributes won't be identical... for example I have Gold Rookie David Wright and Diamond Captain David Wright right now and they both have different strengths with Captain Wright having more power and speed... they both rake though... the interesting ones will be guys like Reggie Jackson who is getting a 97 Charisma today... will be interesting to see what a 99 Postseason (for example) looks like for him in say October.
Also MLB The Show doesn't "push" for you to buy stubs like the other games push for you to buy their virtual currency given the fact that you earn stubs while playing... the other games sell one currency (NBA 2K - VC, Madden - Points) while you earn a completely different currency (NBA 2K - MT Points, Madden - Coins) in their games.
I never said they’re pushing me to buy stubs. I just think you’d have more lineup diversity if all of the 99s were eligible all year instead of just forcing us to buy new 99s that are “in season.” It defeats the purpose.
Instead of repeating player releases, they should give other cards their 97+ if they really wanted to keep things fresh. Limiting us to in season cards is only going to limit lineup diversity.
I get what they tried. I just don’t think it was the best solution for what they were trying to solve.

Only thing I'm saying is they aren't forcing you to buy these cards and I interpret that as buying stubs to go into Marketplace to buy the card. We haven't even made it to Set 2 yet to really see what cards get released... I'm thinking we will get the same players because that's what we got in prior games and we already have some players that have multiple cards aside from Live Series and Flashback... now obviously the diamonds will be interesting to see what they do with those for same player but so far I feel like the cards will be different enough and plus its a way to keep you playing the game.
Plus giving players different ways to earn the different versions of the cards won't hurt either.
I don't recall how to get the WBC Trout but we could see Finest Trout get earned in a different way from that card and then earn All-Star Trout in a completely different way from those cards even if most if not all would still be available to "buy".
Ok. But how does that help lineup diversity?
line up diversity will never be a thing, majority will always use the best cards to win. It’s nice to have all of these other options tho.
That’s my point. There would be more diversity if all of these options were available all year. Restricting our inventory to in season cards only hurts that.
how would there be more lineup diversity? What would be the difference? You will see the same line ups more often then not, because by season 3 cards will be way better. It’s how the game goes every year even with cards available all year.
Because people who would want to keep using Set 1 cards still could. Cards aren’t going to be THAT much better. Any of these 97+s out now could be very usable until the end of the year, especially when paralleled. Even more so with pitchers. The problem has been not enough good options. Now we’ll have the options, we just can’t use them all at once.
missing the point, people now have to choose their wild card, i think that a lone is going to make line ups different, not just the same cards all year, that gets boring, new cards or refreshed cards. The 99's right now and 97's right all have their flaws, fielding, speed, clutch low on some, especially for some of the pitchers. But still you are always going to see the meta line ups most of the time.
So you are saying that 99 cards in the future will be better than 99 cards now? I actually agree, but that means that OVR means nothing. So why have them as 99 now? Slap a 93 on the cards out now instead. But SDS wants you to believe these are powerful 99 cards so that some people spend money on stubs all season. 99 Trout now for 150k stubs and then 99 Trout for another 150k stubs later in the season. People will pay more for a 99 card than for a 97 even if they are identical stat wise. SDS knows this so they want as many 99 cards in their special packs as possible.

Day 1 there was a pack you could buy for a chance at a 99 Trout. That cards is probably more like a 95, but more people will spend money on a chance at a 99 Trout than on a chance at a 95 Trout from a pack. "Day 1 99" just means "Day 1 50,000 stub packs" being sold left and right. Then they can do it again in every set that comes out.

@BRETTSANT05 ,
@the_dragon1912 saidYou are going to have more than plenty set 2 cards before set 1 isn't usable though. You aren't restarting the grind. You just keep playing and get more and more cards on the way. Like I don't know for sure the the whole point seems to be that you doin't have to be constantly grinding to get more cards to the point where you can't play what modes you want to play
I do see his point though. Knowing that you cannot use your Set 1 cards, save for 1 wild card, to use in July makes me less interested in investing too much in Set 1 cards.
In previous games, there have been plenty of cards that I have used all year long in RS games that I acquired before summer. So in this regard, the game does somewhat restart after May 12.
exactly mate you are right in what you're saying
im saving my wild card slot for the CP Ohtani by the way
