    I agree with most of the comments on this thread. I think a lot of people who complain on these forums do not necessarily have a problem with long grinds. They have a problem when they are long grinds, time limited cards, and far from top end cards. It just makes the grind much less worth it. Even if I can complete a program in a day, I would rather just play the modes I prefer, than get cards that will just go in a binder.

    Yes & No…While the cards in programs are often sub par - They go into collections for the best cards. So yeah, The cards you’re rewarded with right away are mid but they help you inch closer to the Chippers, Randys, ect.

    About 5 or 6 years ago you used to have insane grinds to get legends. Like 1500 hits, 500 steals, 2000 strikeouts, ect…And you had to do it for EACH legend…So to the people saying the Father’s Day program which takes about a solid day of grinding is too long…😂🤣😂🤣

    Was that the “Immortals” program? I remember my first time playing MLB there was program that had ALOT of things do, and not truly understanding the gravity of it all, I still looked at that as too much to do. I think Yogi Berra was one of the immortals.

    Yes Sir!

    I do remember.

    I quit playing the game that year before the end of May when I realized that there was no way I would get to those numbers.

    They will never please everyone but they should be trying to strike a balance between too short and too long. I would not say any of them this season are too long but there are a lot more of them with a bunch of cumulative PXP missions that can take a lot of time.

    Your "solid day of grinding" might be a solid week of grinding for someone who has limited play time every week.

    In all honesty if it takes you a week to get in 5 or 6 hours of grinding then you probably should be playing a different mode such as Regs or Franchise. DD is clearly designed for players that have a descent amount of time to play & it’s ok if it’s not for everyone.

    And for you that may be worth it, but for many the grind is just not worth it to continually be grinding for just a few collection cards. I would rather spend my time playing the modes I enjoy and buying a card here and there off the market. I mean are collection rewards really that much better than 99’s you can get off the market this year? I easily get one or two of the set collections each season, but to constantly grind these programs seems pointless to me. Again, I realize people like you feel different and this is just my opinion.

    Having to have 200 innings pitched with Babe Ruth was the highlight of my MLB the show existence.

    The fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of people who play DD probably never finish any of the major collections (I would love to see the stats on the % of players that complete them). To those people the rewards in the program are the reason to play the program. They don't use them as a mere stepping stone for something bigger.

    I don't know if I can articulate this properly, but in years past the collections felt like a bonus after going through the content. I didn't play very long last year but I did get George Brett (1st collection) and those cards came from a variety of programs that never once felt anywhere near as boring/dull as this year's programs.

    This year the collection feels like the only reason to sludge through the exact same programs every week or two (honestly, they're exactly the same with different names - moments, conquest, showdown, pxp).

    "10 more cards for the collection" is not a compliment. It's a sign the content sucks.

    I understand & respect that.
