@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.
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.

My thought is available program/TA cards cards should be equal to the first pack
Then second pack should program/TA cards + conquest/mini season + BA henchman + 1 per ranked/BR season + 1 per free pack given and then the third can require bought cards.It seems the first pack will be about where I said the second pack should be.
Without knowing the amount of cards we get in next month, I would say 230/280/330 seems more aligned with how I would have done it.Still, it will still be fairly easy for NMS who do BR to get all three packs but some people would rather spends their stubs elsewhere than on cheap cards for program fodder (I actually used all those seoul cards to do NL west TA at least)

@chucky97___ also, you're absolutely allowed to enjoy the game. What you're not allowed to do (you actually are I just call it hypocritical and stupid) is act like content drops for the wealthy whales means all the gameplay bugs and atrocious interactions are acceptable.
I enjoy the game.......when it doesn't freeze, glitch, disconnect, force your loss when if you're winning but it's the server and gameplay fault, foul balls galore, and I can go on. You get my point.
If I didn't enjoy the game or appreciate it I wouldn't be here bitching. -

You need to layoff the sds weed man. Content this year has been mosty [censored].
I think he is half right. Content has been good. It is just the way you have to go about getting the best of it, packs, that really sucks lol.
Uh, what? "Content" to almost everyone refers not just to the cards, but to the delivery methods for getting those cards.
Yeah, thats just what I said.

@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.
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
MLB 18 was the worst installment of MLB the Show in history.

I actually prefer stat grind to moments, but that is completely personal preference and I assume I'm in the minority. I had no problem with DD format of 18. Game play on the other hand was trash. So I have no problems saying 18 was the worst.

@nflman2033 18 the best cards required an insane amount of grinding plus you had to collect useless items like bobble heads, uniforms that you couldn't even wear etc. That game required a lot of grinding, Finest cards in that game weren't even 99's. Dont let you recency bias trick you.

@nflman2033 18 the best cards required an inane amount of grinding plus you had to collect useless items like bobble heads, uniforms that you couldn't even wear etc. That game required a lot of grinding, Finest cards in that game weren't even 99's. Dont let you recency bias trick you.
Oh I remember. I made mass stubs from selling Souvenirs. All I has to do was exchange the crappy Souvenirs for teams that didn't have players to use them on to get packs of Souvenirs, there was about 5 or 6 teams that had insane market prices I sold those on the market after I used them to unlock the players. I unlocked everyone pretty quickly.
The stat grinding was a lot, but it made me have to keep playing since I only play CPU. And I absolutely hate Moments, the only thing I hate more than Moments is Showdown. Even to this day I mostly get through programs by stat grinding rather than moments and Showdown. But like I said I accept I am in the minority.

I honestly don't think we'll be getting 30 99 overalls in team affinity, we haven't even gotten 98s yet. I could see the cards being 97s and once you complete each division you can get a 99. I think we'll be getting 3 to 6 99 overalls, which is better than what we have now, but I'm not optimistic.

I was skeptical myself but someone said they already revealed 3 of the cards and they were 99's of Edgar and forget the other two.

I also hate showdowns and would rather grind Stat missions

@blitz77tw it was edgar (Mariners), Blake Trienen (As) and Ian Kinsler (Rangers)
-
@Ms740929 I hope youre right. I mean with the way this game is going, I wouldn't be surprised if these reveals are going to be in "team affinity packs"
-
@n1panchal we've gotten 60 free TA cards, stop acting like we don;t get free cards.
-
@n1panchal They are all 99s. It was already announced in the stream and the 3 cards they have revealed so far were all 99s.
-
thank God, I hope I'm wrong. my argument is that the best cards in packs and sds wants everything to be on a paywall, I don't care if we get 60 Or 600 cards, none are better than the ones that are in packs. the only packs I bought this year are the Santana and Ortiz captain, only because these can be on endgame and God squads
-
@n1panchal I disagree. There are definitely some free cards that are better than the cards in packs in my opinion. Cards are about more than just their overall rating.
