    The programs this year are wayyyyy too much of a grind. That’s all.

    Some are better than others. I thought that the Career program was pretty quick. The Great Race program was a bit of a grind.

    Get off the wheel, hamster! I did over a month ago, and life has been much better. "Live service" games are designed to keep you coming back for your hit, whatever the drug is. No thanks -- not anymore.

    I don’t find any of them to be too much. If I like them I do them and if I don’t like them I skip them. I haven’t done the monsters yet and haven’t had any gaps in time to go back. If I do I will.

    yes sir !!! i have cut back significantly - this year in RS i am 13-3 mostly playing lower levels bc of the kickback each season but the odd game is fun - once in a blue moon - SDS is trash for the most part and i'd rather live my life than grind these nonsense programs to play with players i want !!!

    For me as long as there are many different avenues to complain I’m happy

    I haven't found any of the programs to be too long.
    Team Affinity on the other hand...

    Have cut back grinding over the last few weeks and am now completely overwhelmed at how far behind i am it may be time to hang it up (except for the casual ranked games after a few cocktails).

    I have never been the one to expect content to be given out, but a majority of both the programs and team affinities simply require way too much. And let’s not even get started with the different player stat missions and having to keep track of that, constantly rotating players in and out.

    I get it’s probably their way of the game not dying out once the season ends, which makes sense. It’s just brutal for those of us that don’t have multiple hours A DAY to play

    I agree it’s a lot and not catered to the casual gamer that has limited play time at all. The difficulty of the game alone makes the learning curve and time commitment very steep compared to most other sports titles. I love baseball and MLBTS is the only game I still play and it can still be exhausting at times for sure. This year the number of duplicate cards has made acquiring every card in the game dang near impossible. By this point the past few years I’ve had every card and a bunch of banked stubs. This year I’ve flipped cards more than usual and am still about 3 million stubs short of having every card.
