@Dolenz said in And this is where SDS has crossed the line in my view:
I'm truly expecting expensive packs with the best players in every program now.
Spring Breakout: small program - 2 packs
Seoul Series: 1 free card, no content, pack
Fresh Start: Pack only (which is a huge waste because its a great idea for a series of cards)
Easter: Fun program, pack
Topps Now: smaller than last year (not to mention removal of PotM as a program), packSo yes, every program so far has had a pack, and two additional packs where there should have programs
To make it worse, the Topps Now pack isnt even a choice pack.
Maybe Weekly Wonders will have shop packs too, if it even gets brought back.

You do realize the season is 5 days old right?

Of course. The game has been out for over two weeks now, nearly 3 weeks for preorders
There was more program content for WBC last year than there is in the entire program list so far this year.
THERE IS NO DEFENSE FOR LACK OF CONTENT SO FAR. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that this new season awards would be significant. And they release a program smaller than a typical Topps Now week, even though its supposed to be two programs in one.

@LuvMyXBOX pretty sure they are referencing to all the good stuff being behind a paywall now
Tell me you don't know what a paywall is without telling me you don't know what a paywall is.
Granted it is not technically a paywall but you know what he meant. The best cards in the current "Drop" are in a 30K stub pack with only a 1:5 chance to actually get a 92+ Diamond card.
Meanwhile more and more freely earned cards are "No Sell" making it that much harder to earn the stubs needed for those packs.
Freely Earned cards from Spring Chicken Program are No Sell.
Freely Earned cards from the Egg Hunt Program are No Sell
Freely Earned Cards from the Season Awards Drops are No Sell
Freely Earned Cards from the Season XP timeline are No SellSo tell me, other than some lucky pulls from earned packs, which is a rare occurrence, how are people supposed to earn stubs for these packs?

That was based on the WBC. My lord are you this dumb in the real world?

Unacceptable.
-Extreme lack of post launch content, and this "program" did little
-A pack for what was always free in the past
-No ways to earn said packs offlineTopps Now you'll have to buy the Pack of the Month

He found a rock. It was between his ears. Ignore him.

@fubar2k7
Grow up... His point is that he (Teak) wants more content, regardless of the program. You can disagree, but calling him "dumb" just makes your other forum input seem less substantial. -

I don't see what the big deal is with the packs in the shop. We all know that eventually they will be in a reward path of one of the upcoming programs. We'll be able to earn them soon enough.

While this doesnt deserve a response, the fresh start idea could have easily been made into a WBC sized program. Its a great concept for a pre-season program. And I bet people would have loved it.
And if you want a more direct comparison, Mexico City vs Seoul

Based on last year's model? Sure. But this clearly isnt last year's model.
The next content drop isnt scheduled until next Friday, and it will be TA which is unlikely to have choice packs because then they would have to do it x6. (To be fair, the storylines are pretty cool so there is something on Friday this week...just not specifically themed towards DD which is fine. Just more reason the Topps Now should have been bigger)
Programs so far have all been small and packless with no reason to think that will change. If Topps Now only has 4 cards what hope is there for future ones?

@SDS PLEASE STOP TURNING INTO EA. WE PLAY YOUR GAME TO GET AWAY FROM EA. DO NOT BECOME THEM

@LuvMyXBOX said in And this is where SDS has crossed the line in my view:
why are they greedy? I usually don't follow the DD politics. Last year they gave us all 99s day 1. I think many of us didnt like that. Is that why they're being called greedy? because now we have to progress thru DD like other years except for last year?
Do me a favor. Go to the store, count all the pack options available, then look at the prices, study them and memorize the prices, then look at the best cards you could get.
After you're finished, go take a look at the market prices. If u hit the big diamond round, congrats, here's an extra 20-30k stubs! If u don't, you lose half your stubs.This is one example of how greedy they are. But they're so dumb, those players and dropping 40k on those packs just isn't worth the risk for those with half a brain.
Also, they allow u to earn 4 captain cards through the xp path. I've gotten all 4. Then they decided it would be cute to put the captain cards in the store for 25k each. Only a small handful of those cards qualify as top meta options. Instead of allowing us to earn every captain, we can only earn 4 and must buy the rest.
That's another example of unnecessary greed.There are more, but think I've described 2 examples fairly well.

@LuvMyXBOX Just the typical forum whiners.

Omg, someone finally sees what I've seen! EA are the worst! I still play Fifa, but gave up on Madden.
This is borderline what EA does. But I will admit, EA is worse. Ppl drop thousands hoping to get R9, Dinho, Pele, Cruyff, Gullit, Viera, etc. It's a disgrace. And the pack weights are so bad! -
@Blind_Bleeder
I think a lot of users were looking forward to a bigger program to grind... with more xp and greater rewards to earn, rather than purchase. So in that regard, this drop disappointed a lot of users.
