99’s incoming

Just a personal opinion but I think it's absurd that a month an half into release and just a month into baseball season we're at 99s. In the words of Syndrome from the incredibles, "when everyone is super then nobody is". I liked it better when we had to grind with bronze and silvers to obtain golds and then grind those to obtain diamonds.
-
@Ledfoot_19 welp, good news for you the power creep resets in 29 days, and no one was ever playing online grinding ranked using bronzes and silvers.
-
I personally am excited to see some 99s that are accessible and hopefully we get to see some new cards and maybe card types with it. I am not extremely happy with the game so far and the way it seems to have turned away from programs and grinds to more and more packs without putting these packs into any programs I am looking forward to getting some 99s before the power creep reset. My only hope is that the wild card spots are actually obtainable in season 2 so we can use a few of our S1 cards. There was alot of potential for this game with the power creep back and keeping it fresh with new seasons but the execution has been terrible and has gone away from what people actually enjoyed about the game

if you think about it, we use to only get one TA per season, now we are getting 3 TA's per season. thats almost over 90 free cards, including 30 free 99's, boss packs and collection packs.

True, but we are all getting the same cards, in order to get different cards you have to buy packs. It's actually not great for lineup diversity.
-
@nflman2033 you dont have to buy packs, you can be wise with stubs and buy from the market, the best cards shouldn't be free.
-
I think you should be able to earn the best cards, should all cards be able to be earned in programs, no. But the majority should be which is the point of a grind and if there is a new pack you should be able to earn one somewhere which is why there is a base and a rare round. Just because it’s a program doesnt mean the program has to be easy. Being able to earn the best cards and not having to pay for them was what made this game so great
-
@Ms740929 if all the best cards are able to be earned, is that great for line up diversity?
-
Different cards are available in different ways (World Series reward, Flawless Awards, Events) so yes lineups will be different as some players can not obtain all of those things so they can not earn every card. I did not say there should be no packs but I think the amount of packs this year has been excessive with no way to obtain them other than stubs. Even if a pack is earned you are not guaranteed the best card and if you do pull a rare you do not get all of them
-
TA has 99s this Friday?
-
@K9_21owl yeah they showed three in a short clip during the last content drop they were all 99 hyper series

Actually a few years back you had too if you wanted to unlock better cards. Before moments existed you had to achieve a certain amount of hits or HRs, or strike outs with say a bronze Robin Yount to unlock a silver Yount, and then you had to achieve something with that to achieve gold and so on. Sure most people did that grinding offline in conquest but they did it to get that Diamond Yount or whomever for their Ranked online team. It was way more fun than the last 3 years

I still have a silver in my starting TA lineup and a few bronzes in the bullpen, but I run a theme team.
My best reliever has been silver Brooks Raley, although admittedly with the captain boost he is closer to a diamond anyway. -
@Ledfoot_19 player programs were great and i do wish they never got rid of them. Was good for both online/offline players

I wish SE would ban all posters who are negative just to negative.
Yes, ban all criticisms of the game instead of the person that doesn't want to see it simply not clicking the link.

@bryan44177 You are right, but feedback is not the same as criticize … feedback can be positive

Not sure that's what I said.
I agree I don't buy packs. But people have to buy packs in order for the cards to hit the open market. In years past free choice packs have helped keep market prices down.
I don't disagree that best cards shouldn't be free, and I won't argue the semantics of best cards, I just don't want the majority of the cards to cost stubs especially a lot of stubs.

@YOSHI24 is "this game has so many bugs it's unplayable continues to precisely describe bugs. It's ridiculous paying this money and all the devs do is provide for the whales!" Considered negative criticism or feedback?
I can tell you right now if your answer is anything but "That's a well deserved comment and I agree with it." You are a part of the problem. -
@BJDUBBYAH sure thing get rid of insane numbers of fouls by removing outer pci. Actually prioritize ping by giving us a ping indicator before each game. Actually make input matter instead of balls hit 450ft with a 10 pci rating. Not to mention pinpoint pitching needs to be actual pinpoint not on the outer part of the PAR with perfect input.
-
My take. If we can't get at least 2 of the 3 S1 Collection Cards without buying extra cards; then it's a failure.
Last year we were able to get 2 of them just with cards available in programs.
