Please. This game has removed any and all skill gap. That's why all you casuals are in full shill mode.
THIS GAME!? Lmao since ‘18!
Maybe you just aren’t that good? There wasn’t really much of a skill gap in 17 either, same with 16. If we’re saying that there isn’t one now.. Maybe you’re just nostalgia popping because you’re mad..
Good boy.
My friend, if you’re this upset you need to stop playing and stop coming to a forum about the game. It’s only making things worse for you mentally. Also you’ve only played 3 ranked games and only hit .390 in those 3 games on veteran, if you’re going to be complaining about a skill gap you probably should have been hitting .5-600 like the rest of us on veteran..
Good boy.
I see you are a petulant child incapable of responding with any sort of maturity.
I’ll speak your language, time to “gitgud”

I continue to never understand why great players are concerned if not as good players have players they love

This isn’t my favourite game, it’s a good baseball game that’s better than past versions, still with flaws but it’s not a bad game.
When you say there’s no skill gap you don’t expect people to comment on your skill? Or lack thereof?
-
While I don't fully agree with the phrase "Pay To Win" as I believe there is still a skill gap, I do think this year has the most aggressive monetization the game has ever employed. That is tied directly to their decision to have seasons and sets.
I'll just use the Cardinals as an example.
Adam Wainwright 100K
Jordan Walker 135K
Jim Edmunds 70K3 players for 300K that can't be used for any meaningful content past July 7th. I can only assume we'll have even more before the end of season 1 and then more in season 2 and 3.
For me to have the best Cardinals theme team all year long it is going to cost me far more stubs, by a large margin, than it ever has in the past. I assume at some point down the line I will need to pay for a different 99 overall card for all three players plus I am sure there will be multiple Musial's, multiple Ozzie Smith cards or Lou Brock cards, etc
It really does feel like I am just paying to rent these players for several months at a time. I am not a fan.

Don't forget all these stubs will have to go to these rental cards and not the live series collection. I don't mind spending 250k on Trout, but when it's spend 250k on Trout or spend 100k on tucker, 40k on Bagwell, 40k on hunter brown, and 80 k on the next astro... all for them to be rendered useless in July... it seems redundant.
I want the Sosa and mark cards, but when everytime I turn on my game I'm being met with a new 99 I can't afford I lose interest.

I still don't understand how you all think these Set 1 cards will become useless come July?
For online play? Yes.
For offline play? Probably not.
But let's say this: if they released cards like they did on the past; wouldn't most of the Silvers, Golds, and low Diamonds s be useless, to some people, when they drop higher rated cards at that time?
For some, I don't think you are worried about cards becoming useless, I think you're upset because you can't beat up on lesser qualified players.
Should this game have a skill gap? Depends on what mode.
And like others have said; it's not the cards, it's the player.
Am I upset that by the time I get Awards Pedro or Finest Chipper; I won't be able to use them online? No. Because I'm not worried about online play.
And beside chances are most of the earlier Set/Season cards, minus the ones in the WBC Program, will x he useful late in the games cycle.
They won't make you collect 200+ cards only to have them mean nothing later in the game's cycle.

Oh, I know. I have purchased Edmonds and Walker, who I got for 85K before his card jumped up to the current 135K. The Walker purchase put me down to next to nothing on the stubs front.
I have built back up to 50K in stubs after pulling and selling Buxton and McClanahan and doing the programs and conquest maps.
Wainwright is going to 100K. Arenado Live is going for 90K. Goldschmidt Live for 89K. I need the latter two for the team collection so that I can get Musial and use his captain ability. So that is 280K total that I still need but I am sure some new card will be released before I can accumulate that total.

But don't worry those 90 overall live series will be usable for the whole year!!! Which means nothing considering they are dumping 99s on us every week. Cheers bud! I gooe you last past may!

You don't know ow how much they had to spend to get Jeter in the game.
My guess is that's exactly what they do. And if they do a collection at the end of the year where it's, "collect all the set rewards", then they are worse than I thought.
I'm sure chipper and babe will be available to buy for 1000000 stubs eventually.

For online play? Yes.
For offline play? Probably not.Sure, I can run the US conquest map over and over again, or the base Mini seasons.
But all season three content will not allow these cards, at least that is how I understand it. So, all the new conquests they release won't allow me to use them. Any new Mini Seasons won't allow me to use them.
I wonder if playing with those cards will even grant you PXP you will need to collect for Team Affinity Season 3.
So, while it might not be as restrictive as Online play it will still be restrictive.

Also you won't be using the set 1 cards offline either because you'll be too busy grinding offline pxp for set 3 programs.

Yeah a lot of the skill gaps are gone, like how you don’t have to play away games anymore and can just squint your eyes at the lineup screen and play at home for four straight years after spending 800$ to get the collection the first night.

I am happy that I don’t have to grind the market for collections, I have not sell any card this year and have a very competitive team (Includes WBC Trout, Trea, Realmuto) and 200K stubs in the bank.
Edit: Only spent money to buy the game, not a single dollar since.
