I miss the weekly programs, man. Although these reward ones aren't terrible, they just don't have the same feel

I wanted to add another thing that has ruined excitement early on:
The castrating of live series collection rewards!
No division collections I understand so there aren't too many core cards, but Palmeiro and Pedro should have been 97's (I'd be fine with 99's...)
Not having the LS Collection chase being worth it takes a lot of the fun out of the beginning of the game. Instead of having motivation to get every stub I can, I'm just sort of holding on to my stubs and buying players off the market.
It used to be a rewarding grind that kept me motivated for the first month.
Totally agree! This game is best when live series collections are the best cards in the game. I don’t understand what play SDS is trying to run by taking these rewards away, I would think having their player base in a frenzy to lock in millions of stubs worth of otherwise useless cards would be good for business

This game is cooked. The content model is the worst I've ever seen by far. No point in even purchasing these 40k packs because the cards in them will all be devalued by 40% within a week because of the quicker power creep. Now they're just releasing copy paste cards from previous years (that we could earn for free before) in packs. This company is donezo
-
Wait until next season when they add "Live Series: Part 2" and release a second "live" version of the entire live series. lol
-
@BadaBing_0 Why would you give them that idea
-
@bri_25 If it happens, it is not my fault! That means it was already planned and that is why they only gave us 3 live collection rewards. 3 for each season.
-
@BadaBing_0 Too late. You're going to have to own up and take accountability if that happens now.

@PAinPA, I don't mean this to be personal, because I'm sure you're a swell guy, but, man, do you think most players play as much as you do? Again, I'm not aiming this just at you (your post is just a jumping off point for my own little rant), but I hardly think that one person not playing for 9 hours on a Tuesday is indicative of anything other than the possibility that that same person might benefit from supplementing their video game habit with other activities.
Many people in this forum seem to think that their compulsion to run through all of the provided content in marathon sessions immediately upon release and their insatiable need to gather all of the cards are representative of the typical player; I don't believe that to be true. Most people who have purchased this game probably have never even looked at these forums, and most play a couple of hours here and there. For them, there's more than enough content to grind through, and they likely aren't interested in grinding for any card save for the ones they actually want (why complete TA if you don't want those players nor the offered rewards if you collect all of them?).
Lots of people don't have the time to grind countless hours away and really aren't that interested in doing it even if they did. SDS is looking for a balance between satisfying the small population of fanatics who enjoy doing that and then coming here to write about it, and the far more numerous group of people who play only a handful of hours a week who would like to play actual baseball in the game at levels higher than Rookie with cards they actually want to use. They aren't doing as bad of a job as many here are making it out to be.

The thing is that there really isnt enough content to spend "countless hours grinding".

There's been plenty to grind for anyone who doesn't devote all of their free time to this game, and we're only a few weeks in. Again, it's about SDS finding a balance between those that want to grind, and those who see the endless grind as something more impenetrable than any pay wall; there's as solid an argument against locking cards like Ruth behind a collection for people who don't like that aspect of the game as there is a gripe for "making" people buy packs to get cards. And neither, in the scheme of things, is all that important.

Honestly, stop. They just might....
I wouldn't put it past them to start selling pack-odds buffs or something like that...
