Overall, I am enjoying the game play this year, but does anyone feel like the content structure is too similar to '23:
-
280 S1 cards collected for the 99's is a LOT, especially for them to expire even sooner than last year. Getting the 2nd and 3rd 99's are too many additional cards too. should be like 180 cards, 200 cards and 220 cards for the 3 99's. Biggio and the other 91 Franco should be way better too
-
Event rewards are still so bad. Any reason we can't get top of the line event rewards that are worth more than 20K stubs?
-
Co-Op being neglected / no points for wins really ruins the mode. No incentive to win or for folks to stay in close games, they just quit and then complain about the cooldown.
tl;dr - as much as I'm enjoying the game in its honeymoon stage, I don't see myself playing past the first season once my cards get wiped. Still too grindy to want to start it over since we have to earn the wildcards.

It's always going to be some grind but when you make the path from 650 / 750k to 1.2 ish and then NERF XP in general that feels like garbage. I really want to know what SDS employee thought this was a good idea and suggest they be let go or something cause it was an epic fail idea.

@blitz77tw Yeah I'll never put more hours into a 10 day span as I did this first 10 days of the game cycle, and I'm not even at 200K XP, not even close to 70 cards for Franco (and hes not even that good).
The 99's expire so I'm not locking in stubs to get to 280 quickly, I'll get there with no-sells...

I cannot help but think custom stadiums are part of the reason for the nerf and as of this writing I do not have a ps5 but will be getting one later today. I mean if I understand it people make stadiums that are easy as beep to gets HR's etc on that inflate xp totals. It seems to me the solution and people going to hate me for saying this but make some limitations on using these stadiums.
My idea is once a stadium is created it has a score of up to 10 and let's say most ( if not all ) stadiums from MLB to Minor league have a rating of 8.5 and up. Then make it if you create a stadium it has to have a rating of like 7 to be able to use in let's say mini seasons. If I am mistaken please correct me but I would think this is part of the reason they nerfed xp outside of just SDS acted stupid.

I hit 224k yesterday and said ok good I have time for a MS game or 2 before the last ST game on TV starts.,did those 2 and after the game it took 2 more to get that 1000xp, that's bad that's just really bad.

@PAinPA For me its mostly the 280 S1 cards for Rollins etc.
We get 90 from TA once that's all released, so all that TA grinding gets you less than 1/3 of the way to an expiring card!? That's just nuts to me.

You do forget that Topps now and others will help but i get your point but right now let's just get them to fix the game before worrying about the collection side of things.
