I got to my first Incognito pack yesterday and was excited because i took rendon and saw he was going for over 100k but then I remembered that the first 4 packs in the program are non sellable.
I'm all for repeating packs in programs/events/ and BR however I believe that if you put in the time and effort in a program/BR/Event or whatever you should get the choice to either keep or sell, taking that choice away is going to just alienate the fan base.
Wait? The first four reward packs in the Season 2 program aren't sellable?
Correct, the first 2 incognito and kaiju packs are unsellable. Of course, the only place this shows up is the program reward path. As I found out (since I never looked at the path) the packs in your inventory don’t have to no sell tag, nor do the selections until after you finalize your pick.
-
So what exactly happened today? They made the rewards in BR & WS non sellable unless you actually make 12-0 or WS? Am I correct?
-
They’ve definitely found a way to deter casual online players from playing online. Maybe that was the goal. I came into the season truly planning on playing online more but that is no longer the case.

If people stopped watching streamers their power would diminish. I guess it's just a generational thing but I cannot imagine my fifteen year old self watching a video of a guy playing a Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Even if he is better than I am.

They did that with WS rewards on Friday, today the new season of BR launched and it is that way for Flawless.

I agree. This kills it for me. They also increase the innings so it takes longer in ranked which I don’t understand if you can’t sell them. It’s extremely time consuming.
-
It’s funny that not too far ago, the only way to get these cards were to go flawless or pay for them. Now you can still get one for free.
Some of us got too spoiled the past couple years
-
I don’t like the move, but let’s not act like it’s some conspiracy against “casuals.”
Their motivation is to make money by selling stubs. All these changes have been geared toward that. Every company’s goal to make money. It’s not evil. It’s not personal. It’s capitalism.

Ranked was like that when it dropped. However they are breaking up the season into two parts. First part of the season has non sellable packs, in the WS Program, and then when the start the second part of this season; those packs will be sellable.
When the new BR program dropped today; they made the pack you get at 100pts ( which is the Flawless pack for those that can't go 12-0) non sellable.
So, the only way you can sell a flawless card is if you earn it while going 12-0.

Designing a reward structure that only benefits less than 1% of your customers is a terrible strategy.
But hey, at least they won’t have to hear oh chev cry anymore.
Don’t mention names, SDS will ban you with a quickness
truth hurts....this is sad from SDS....unreal

I second this. I now have no reason to play BR. So it's only going to be offline for me right now until some of these rewards are Core players.
I would like to add this though. If this is because of streamers griping that the rewards lose less value:
-
It's not like they're using their own money to buy stuff. They probably get paid to produce streams.
-
If SDS is worried about people earning a lot of stubs; then they shouldn't allow people to sit on a 11-0 run until the new BR season starts. If you're in an 11-0 run and you don't play your next game until the new season drops; tough luck. You start out 1-0.
-
-
I'm away but is it just the 12-0 pack or even the lower level ones everyone needs for collections
-
I have no intention of touching ranked because of this change, now I just might not touch BR either. BR program requirements should be lowered by 75% if it's going to be no sell. The changes to drive people to buy stubs and cater to 1% like these no-sell packs are really souring me on this game.
-
Well that's enough for me. Finish this year and call it a day. Every year they have cut ways to make stubs. Shat on my favorite player two years running (Mays) and put Godzilla in the game. How much more stupid can it get. I'm old anyway and should be done playing video games.

My issue with BR is it has been fine this way for three years. I do think RS might have been a touch easy for first season, but they made the time requirement significantly higher and made them no sell. I think they could have made either adjustment mid year and it wouldn’t have been too big of a deal. However, getting 100 points in BR has always seem to fit the reward well. Again this is the third year it has been this way and has never been an issue until now.
I was going to come here and make this point. Previously they've just adjusted the requirements. I actually like the no sell rewind packs too. But I saw the no sell on ranked season and BR and I was excited to grind both fast to make stubs to buy other cards or finish live series. Now I'm not sure I even want to play anymore. I like buying and selling cards to test players out. SDS is gradually turning more and more into EA.

While I don't love the idea of no sell rewards for online play, it baffles me why you would make the programs so much more difficult, especially as the ranked season now lasts half the time it did for the first program. 25 hours of ranked play for a single non-sale card??? And why remove the points for wins, as well. Pretty bizarre.

Not getting the point for a win in RS has baffled me as much as anything. There is just something about earning that point for a win that means more to me than any pxp mission or number of total bases. It especially has value when your opponent quits in the second inning.
-
My thoughts for ranked with coop and the program was like ah bummer but also like ok majority of people can get the cards. I didn’t know BR was also non sellable which is so so so crappy. Sad day
-
I’m shocked they did this mid year. This seems like a pretty massive adjustment to make for the casual gamer who just enjoyed grinding the program and earn some stubs. this latest move on BR and the most recent roster update is absolutely brutal.
