Sets are not back only seasons are.
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...

I wish they called them fancy moments.
"Sorry guys, no Ranked for me tonight. Gonna grind some fancy moments instead" -

No season one doesn’t = set one. It’s season one. Sets aren’t a thing anymore they didn’t say anything about it. They took sets out.
-
That blurred out card is Tony Olivia.
-
@GoozeFn On second thought, it looks like a right handed hitter. Kirby Puckett would be awesome!
-
Olivia is not in Cooperstown. And Puckett's plaque looks nothing like the one pictured.

And beer isn't a thing anymore either. I'm going to call it "adult water," and never use the word. Therefore it won't be a thing anymore.

@SaveFarris Yes he is.

Ummm okay
. I tried explaining -
@Bearsfan217
I didn’t understand how you explained it. Sets and seasons merged into seasons? So where are the sets? Or set cards?

@SaveFarris
A couple of Conerstone Captain Choice Pack questions for you Farris:-
If you choose Conerstone Buxton or Arenado as your Choice Pack selection, are you able to add Conerstone Captain Maddux on Senga later, or are these unsellable?
-
Will we still be able to use a Hitting Captain along with a Pitching Captain?

Maybe im not explaining it well. But what i hated about Sets last year was that that the cards expired, became unusable without a wildcard. Well they did away with sets, essentially just made seasons and made the cards unusable after the season. Basically doing the same thing as Sets were last year. Make sense? Its basically the same system

I have no insider info other than what's in the blog post. I think Cornerstones will be sellable if only because Senga's card had a 'New' marker while the other's didn't. Did the account they pull those pictures from already have Arenado, Buxton, and Maddux? ... UNLESS ... they are unsellable until they get re-released in the "Forever" program in November.
-
Since they didn't say otherwise, I'd assume that Hitting/Pitching Captains remain. But again, that's just educated speculation.

@SaveFarris
Not sure, but it looks like they dropped the label "Sets" and just have "Seasons" instead, which I like. Last year, we had five Sets and the most recent Set would overlap and carry over into the next season. So if this is true, then "S1" on the top of the card is representing "Season 1" rather than "Set 1"...etc.So if this is accurate, then the structure should be:
S1 (Season 1)
S2 (Season 2)
S3 (Season 3)
Core -
Right. So instead of "set cards" its just "season cards"
-
Who's on first?

Ty France, Josh Naylor, and ... Ryan Mountcastle?

I would LOVE some clarification on the following section:
"But while most of the game will follow the new gradual climb in OVRs each season, there is one outlier: The Live Series Collection reward. We know our fans love earning that sweet 99 Core reward once the collection is completed, so of course it’s still a thing in ‘24. This reward will take a considerable amount of time and skill, so be prepared to level up not only your squad, but also your prowess on the sticks if you want to earn it.
A saying that our development team has coined is “that it feels good to be bad, and then git gud.” We hope that our players will share that sentiment and Play to 99 with us as every season unfolds this year! "
That doesn't sound like a COLLECTION at all...

@mietha
It seems like they are going to reward users more for how they compete online in H2H modes( i.e. RS). ...Grinding vs CPU will still be rewarding, but maybe those who like to play vs other users online will have better rewards and progression towards the LS collections.Something that I did not understad was their coined saying of "that it feels good to be bad, then git good"?...is this a typo? Maybe it should have read 'if it doesn't feel good being bad, then git good'?

People who “grind” on the lowest difficulty setting shouldn’t be awarded the same cards as people who are playing on higher difficulties. Scea giving out participation trophies.
