Glad to know I’m not the only one trying to figure this out. I’ve collected enough for Pedro and am just a starting to feel a bit like a crazy person.

I have a feeling the "season" cards are going to be a 1 and done thing in this game. So much backlash about them. I'm giving it until season 3 to see what happens, but if it's the same cards over and over again, I just can't do it.
Yes this. I cant see this as sustainable for me. If SDS just re releases another version of a 99 Griffey Jr to obtain in s2 or s3,4,5 etc (or whoever player) there is no way im going to stick around for this version of the show.
This can't be the plan, right?
There would have to be endless amounts of programs each season to try and even attempt to even get 2 of the 3 season big collection rewards. Currently I have 155 cards. I chose Chipper and would like to get to 200 so I can get Babe. I don't see me getting another 45 cards in 20 something days. I have a feeling that burnout is going to be a real thing this year.
You have longer than 20 days. Yes, Set 2 starts in 20 days. But all Set 1 cars can still be played until Set 3 drops. That's when you can only pick 1 as a wildcard.
-
Yeah exactly.
I'm sure TA 2 will drop by the time set 2 comes around and a big collection will come as well too unless perhaps these sets are actually going to replace the collections this year which I can't see happening since there are core cards that can't be currently locked yet. -

I don't get how it can be seen as a cash grab. I feel like there is less need than ever before to spend any real money this year.
It's all a matter of how you approach the game and the mode in general. If you are fine using earned cards then I am sure it does not look like a cash grab.
But if you want specific players in your lineup then it will be more expensive as far as Stubs are concerned.
I play offline modes with a Cardinals team as much as possible. They have already released four 99 cards, available only in packs and that currently still cost about 300K in stubs to get on the market. These cards are Set 1 so in July I will need to replace all four 99 players when I want to do season content like conquests or, more likely, buy new high diamond players of the same four players. Lsst year I may have spent 300K to 400K on my Cardinals lineup for the entire year.
If you are a completionist (thank god I am not) and work to finish the set 1 collection to get 99 Babe Ruth. You will need to replace him in July also and I guarantee that we will see more Set constrained Ruth cards upcoming.
Obviously the CASH GRAB is not aimed at offline players.
This move was made to make offline players happy, while also putting more pressure on online players to complete Series and Sets ASAP to have an advantage over others who don't. The only way to do that is to BUY STUBS.
SDS knows they aren't going to get money out of mostly OFFLINE players who basically REFUSE to play online. But they know they will make them happy by making it super easy for them to acquire 99's to beat up on the CPU with.
At the same time, dropping all this 99 content so early will entice online players to buy stubs to complete their sets and get reward cards before anyone else does so they have an advantage...even if it's only for a day or two.

There are so many bad assumptions and generalizations in that one post it is hard to address them.
First, did you not read what I posted about the Cardinals and me wanting to get all of the Cardinal Cards? I am an offline player. It will absolutely cost me many, many more stubs to keep up with one team this year than it did last year.
Second, you make the assumption that primarily offline players won't be affected by FOMO every bit as much as online players. There is no indication one way or another whether offline players are likely to buy stubs? I assume that there are many that do.
I am not saying that online players are not more likely to spend on stubs than offline players because they probably are but it is not as clear cut as you try and make it.
As far as making it super easy to acquire 99's offline please tell me how. I have a total of four 99's on my team. One was a XP Program Boss and the other three were purchased off of the community at the cost of 200K or so. There is a 99 Adam Wainwright I would like to acquire but I can't afford it. I would like to finish the Cardinals collection but due to the prices of Arenado and Goldschmidt I can't afford it. Don't tell me that SDS is throwing 99's at offline players and not also trying to target them to get more stubs out of as well.
Sorry if I went on a little long there but your post came off as super disdainful of offline players as if somehow they are a lesser species of player.

I thought as this point everyone knew offline players needed their hand held and to be given everything online players get for less. Why else would you now get RS and BR rewards for putting on a jersey and going 0-56? It isn’t enough to get the stuff for free now you need to be told how amazing you are?
Do I get the conquest map rewards for losing? Do I get moment progress for losing? Do I get a showdown completion for free after 10 Ls? Nah, they only help the LESSER species.
It’s like female athletes going to court because they don’t get as much as male athletes…except you guys won lmfao.

Doesn't remotely matter how we feel about them. What matters is which model makes more money. If they sell more microtransactions this year than last, this will be the model moving forward. If they don't, it will revert, or they will try something else next year. Whether it's well received or not is, quite literally, meaningless.

That is not entirely true.
Any Conquests and Mini Seasons released as part of Season 3 content will most likely have the same limitations as ranked, meaning no Set 1 cards can not be used.
Sure, I could just rerun the US map, which has no restriction, over and over again but that is not fun and there may be rewards in the later seasons that I will want to work for too.
