How is this lineup diversity thing working?
-
When the Community was pleading for diverse lineups, I do not remember anyone asking for "expiring cards". To achieve lineup diversity, all SDS had to do was offer more comparable cards at each position. Under this new format, we may get 1-2 comparable 99's along with several 97s at each position, every couple of months or so. Therefore, instead of facing the same lineups throughout the year, we get to face the same lineups 6x a year.

Exactly this. I never understood why they can't release multiple 99s, be creative with it. Add some quirks or different stuff to some of them to make then more appealing later in the game cycle. Locking out cards is just a terrible idea imo. If they want to go that route, they could instead introduce a salary cap ranked mode or something down those lines.

Set was great, the WBC cards and players that were never in the game was fun. Plus we got guys like Andrew Chafin getting diamonds and thought see more players like that get cards, but it’s seems like it’s jus been an alternating unusable 97 usable 99 of the same players or two 99s, one being slightly worse and doesn’t work useable captains. I think they can improve the model in the future, and make things like set collections core or parallel cards to core.

Every set you see some version of the same lineup, diversity is terrible this year. Also because cards expire I’m not trying to parallel cards like in past years. In ‘21 it felt like a worthwhile grind to get Kyle Seager from a 96 up to a 98-99, now you’re forced to use whatever content SDS decides to release in the current set.

100% agree.
