SDS has even monetized the JRD rewards...
-
I am just amazed at how greedy SDS has become....
So the bat skins, socks and bat grips that have been free via programs or conquest map rewards EVERY SINGLE YEAR are now only available in the show store for $4.99.
I wonder how much of the proceeds actually go to the JR Foundation. I bet its not much.
Once again... Classy move, SDS!

Minimum of $3.49 goes to JRF, and the amount less the store fees, so its basically 100%. Its certainly a worthy cause, and I have purchased these charity packs every time they've sold them, even for just the bat skins. I'll probably buy this year as well, but its a real bummer becuase (and I know I'm in the minorty here) I used to love to get the Shoes and Bat Grips for my created player to use in DD, and obviously these are worthless now unless your playing RTTS.

We can't let facts get in the way of the SDS hate.

I stand corrected. At least on the charity front.
Continued lack of content obtainable through means other than spending money buying packs and stubs still stands.

This pack has always been $5. And you get $5 worth of stubs plus all the JRD stuff. I always buy it

The Jackie Robinson program looks like the rewards are
90 Buck O'Neil
91 Hilton Smith
92 Hank Thompson
93 Jackie Robinson
A Barrier Breakers PackPlay the “Robinson Breaks MLB’s Color Barrier” Moment, as well as PXP and Multiplayer Missions, a Conquest Map, and complete an Optional Storylines Collection to earn progress in the Jackie Robinson Day Program to add notable Negro League Legends Buck O’Neil, Hilton Smith, Hank Thompson, and, of course, Jackie Robinson to your Diamond Dynasty Squad and pick-up an all-new Barrier Breakers Pack along the way.
Is that not enough?

Buck O'Neil cards always make me happy. That man is an unsung treasure to baseball. His HOF speech always makes me smile.

You need to chill. 100% of the proceeds go to the foundation, and you get 5K stubs along with all that for your donation.
SDS is indeed smarmy as hell this year, but people need to pump the breaks and fact check a bit before lobbing Molotov cocktails.
I despise SDS this year, by the way.

Sorry, didn't see you had already walked it back.
SDS still sucks, though. Until they apologize and refund early access money, they're crooks.

I can be rather subtle at times, so I just want to make sure everyone knows where I stand.

They do this pack every single year, it goes to charity.

This post is an L. They do this every year and 100% of the profit goes to JRF. I am all for going after SDS for the majority of the 24 mishaps but this ain't it.
-
I have been critical of SDS ( maybe over critical at times ) but this is not a time they should be attacked cause they are doing the right thing. I also have bought the pack every time they have done it and had ZERO regrets in doing it. When I read the post and it was a quick skim of it thought the barrier breaker pack might be a shop thing and was like "of course it is " but then read it more carefully and sounds like it part of the program so no issue.
Side note my only issue ( small at that ) and has ZERO to do with the this is the Jackie card prolly cannot be used for like Dodger missions etc since its part of the negro league program.
-
Since SDS chose to be scumbags, they should donate 50% of what they made from their loyal playerbase to the JRF and give us the pack for free.
F them! -
@Kaznella you’re an idiot. Go cry elsewhere this has not been the case
