Good News! Sets & Seasons are back!
Good News! The whole reason we did sets and seasons (getting more 99s on Day 1) has been throttled back!
Good News! More Wildcards!
Good News! Takashi Anime Cards are back!
Good News! There appears to be some sort of Cooperstown Card/Program/Something or other they're teasing! (My first guess was Reggie Jackson, but the neck isn't right. Who's got guesses?)
Good News! We now have a new type of Captain card in addition(?) to the old kind!
Good News! Brian Dozier is a new Legend!
Good News! Battle Royale Flawless now earned at 10-0!
Good News! Ranked Rewards will be sellable, yet they'll be an exclusive(?) reward for Solo/Co-Op Ranked players!
Good News! They'll be a Free pack in Week 1 to celebrate the Seoul Series!
Good News! The 'Ballin is a Gold' pack got a makeover and is now blue!
Good News! There's a 'Millionaire' pack!
Good News! We get 9 Team Affinity Drops (3 drops in 3 seasons) instead of 5 (Once per season, except 6th)!Deets here:

So, the changes seem good, if you're using last year as a base. My huge gripes were:
-
Grinding for cringe 90's in programs after unlocking a ton of 99's in the first few days.
-
TA = "take away" your life, the grind was so ridiculous.
Those seem to have been dealt with, which makes me smile.
My seat on the fence has now shifted slightly -- 1.5 cheeks leaning into the "buy early release version" yard...

Set/Season Timing:
According to the blog, the plan is to have a new season drop every 12 weeks, with a new TA drop every month.
Assuming they hold to that rigid structure, here's how that'd work:
Set 1/TA 1.1: March 15/19
TA1.2: April 12 (2 weeks after Opening Day)
TA 1.3: May 10Set 2/TA 2.1: June 7 (London Series, 2 weeks before Birmingham game)
TA 2.2: July 5 (would it go live on Tuesday?, ASG stuff)
TA 2.3: August 2Set 3/TA 3.1: August 30
TA 3.2: September 27
TA 3.3: October 25End of Game: November 22

I'll go with Paul O'Neill. New Legend, tied in with the Subway storyline.

Be very very careful...alot of people did that with Skull and Bones, and that fencepost ended up somewhere very unpleasant

He doesn't have a Cooperstown plaque.

Overall, after reading the blog in it’s entirety, I’m somewhat optimistic for 24
The content structure of 23 was what burned me out, not the gameplay itself. Hopefully 24 improves upon content structure and also improves on gameplay even though I was pretty happy with how 23 plays

First post of the year. Hope everyone had a good offseason. Excited for opening day. Go Cubs, go!
I like the changes on paper. It’s kind of like a fresh game every 3 months.
My guess for the blurred legend is Joe DiMaggio.

@Bob_Loblaw1984 Someone found the picture and its 100% willie mays...hoping hes not the LS collection and its just showcasing a HOF themed card series. We want Frank Robinson!
-
Congrats on the Mays find. 45th anniversary of his induction.
No congrats to the 23 knuckleheads who voted against him. -

At least it's not another Yankee. I'm all for other teams getting some legend love.
I still need to decide whether I will buy it and keep playing on PS5 or play it on the Series X via Game pass.

FYI: The Season 1 XP Reward Path reward for 135K...
... Found him! It's ... 1982 Bruce Sutter?!? But he wasn't in the 1979 Postseason!

... is NOT 1979 Tom Seaver
(Thought it was originally, but I got the colors reversed. Trying to figure it out because what we can see of the card is NOT a 1979 Topps design)
135K? Showing 195K.

Shoot - I thought it was a Yankees "Monument Valley" plaque.

I'm just excited that the "best user name" is back in the fold for 24!

It's the edge of the card that's showing at 135k.

Sets are not back only seasons are.

Ahhh. I see it now.

@Joeflakes yes they are. They just renamed them. They are linked into seasons now. Wont be able to use season 1 cards in season 2 (withoutWC). Season 1 = set 1.
Just like "storylines" are just fancy moments...
