The MLB season is less than a week old. On what evidence are you basing your "doesn't seem to be a weekly thing" hypothesis?

The proof is in the pudding. Look at what’s in front of your eyes. That’s the evidence! What is making you think it’s not pay to win?

I guess I am just going to have to enjoy the game for the game and not worry about completing sets. At least the vast majority of my opponents online seem to NMS people too.

Personally i dont think its pay to win because i have a competitive team, on par with pretty much everyone else and other than the digital deluxe edition, i havent spent a dime.

I play every day. haven't spent a dime on the game. i am not forced to buy anything. I just grind and get the cards I want. Pretty simple.
No Money spent on this game since MLB 17.

I seriously don't understand why people have a problem with the game this year, I literally have no problem with it. I play every day for a couple hours and still have a pretty good team and got 3 of the players in the pack for less than what it's going for. I am slowly working my way through everything and haven't even touched classic mini seasons yet

@sbchamps17 you want a cookie shut up bro

because you'll always have people who want something for nothing. and if they don't get their way they come whining and crying on these forums. not saying everyone - there are some legit concerns - but some of the stuff I read today is ridiculous.

@LuvMyXBOX no we just aren't special Billy's that need our hand held for us to understand things. Thanks for playing.

Where is the SDS that pushed the narrative of " You can earn all cards through just playing the game " . SDS should be ashamed for putting the best Topps Now cards in packs you have to buy.
-
UnsaferRainbows- keep your cookies. I was just wondering why everyone shits on the game when this is what they asked for
."No 99s at launch" -
@sbchamps17 we are not asking for 99’s bro you are clueless we paid for the game we should get the content we paid for not have to buy stubs to get cards that used to be in programs
-
It's literally a spend stubs campaign. Even if you don't buy the packs and buy them in the market, it's just a stubs sink for terrible "rewards."
-
You don't HAVE to buy stubs, alot of people including me are still doing it NMS and not having any problems
-
Still a little early for me to worry. But I'll say this: Last year you could get at least 2 of the 3 Season Collections just by locking in non-sellable cards that were earned from Programs and TA.
Unless they release a TON of cards available through Programs, and not packs, we may be lucky to get one of the Collection cards. If that's going to be the norm; ALOT of people are going to hang it up early.
Also, I'm interested in seeing how the new 'TN' program works. Even though you were able to get those cards for 'free' last year; many didn't make my lineup unless they were being used to progress their program.
However if we can't complete, or st least earn the Season Reward/Lightning player, without buying cards; it's going to be a short season for most of us.

It blows my mind that SDS has some people so snowed they are still defending them over this program. I am going to lay it out for these fools just in case they are slow ( they are spoiler alert )
The program itself is fine but it's been since I want to say they stopped doing the packs for POTM cards in Show 19 or 20 forget because players really disliked it. This is why some are up in arms over this decision so now do you understand it or do I need to find a way to write it in crayon for you ?
I am sorry ( not sorry ) for being rude but I am tired of SDS making changes that are killing this game for SOME of it's players. If they do not really want the offline players anymore then stop saying " play the way you like " cause in the end that is garbage. Specially when you then go nerf and not just change it to be more balanced you just destroy a way to get the XP.
SDS -- YOU SUCK --- this is how I plan on signing my posts until they change or suspend / ban me for just speaking my mind

."No 99s at launch"I have no issues with no 99’s at launch. I prefer it that way actually. What I have an issue with is now there are more Topps Now cards in a pack than there are in the “program.” Although it’s hard to call what they released today a program.

While I think its stupid to call the mini seasons thing a nerf when it was 100% certain to be a bug, I do feel that offline players have been getting the shaft
It started in the middle of the year last year when they started putting the event cards as collectable in the program tracks. That made the cards cost too much for offline players who wanted the cards to reasonably justify
Now theyve cut the amount of program cards by more than half, I assume in response to online players whining (while adding online only ways to progress programs...which was the way to address their needs anyway)
And the xp balance feels wrong, with ranked and BR getting significant xp but conquest getting next to nothing, or in most cases nothing.
This is not the same game that was great for the first 2/3 of the season last year for offline players.

@sbchamps17
The overall card rating itself is irrelevant... The overall card rating is only relative to what other cards are available, what cards can I grind for, and what cards do need to be purchased, etc.For example, if the best cards in the game are around 93-95, and I can grind for a 93-97, then great. On the other hand, if the best cards are at 99 overall, and I can only grind for cards that are valued at 97, and can only acquire 99's through stubs, then that is a bummer.

I understand the packs. Sony gaming in the US just laid off 1000 employees over the whole company. I wonder how many people at SDS were let go. If they need to make more to stay sustainable, I get it. It's the XP creep that still gets me. If it was about the LS 99s at launch, why didn't they just make those cards able to creep up with the power creep. They are part of the Live series after all. I think it's all directly related to create more revenue to stay alive. It just seems poorly thought out.
