They just gave us CORE Banks. Adding too many CORE 99's would make wild cards less important from a grind perspective. They are in a tough place given the small number of legends available to them.
I think at this point in the game folks are tired of the grind and want wildcards gone. A Core Program would of been a good idea even with Ernie just being released
-
I am fine with the content. Now, it is nobody I care about or desire but that is fine as they expire in a week anyway.
What I am actually surprised at is apparently there is not a Double XP weekend. I figured that they would do it just to help give a boost to those lingering behind. With the boost, I might have been motivated to keep playing beyond finishing the new program and conquest map as I am at 800K and might push for the first boss. Without double XP I don't want to try and grind 100K in the next week.

@Ericulous1_PSN First: The conquest-map is stoked with big packs … Second: If they release some banger S2-cards now (we already had a big Core) that would be waste … keep the bullets for the next season … I think, overall … nice little content drop. The big one is coming in 6 days
-
@fellspointguy_MLBTS They could have just given us 1 core 99 from finishing the lightning collection. Instead there’s no reward for finishing the latest drop.
-
We got some choice packs today which was great in the map and some of the core ones too
-
There are new rewards for collecting season 2 cards, 2 chase packs and a vault pack so they did that without telling us
-
I was thinking of saving this Dog CQ map for Season 3 for the XP boosts.....

They'll probably do like they did with the Lou Gehrig program at the end of season 1 and drastically reduce the xp
-
Its the first conquest map since TA 2.3, and it has good rewards. The legend pack is actually useful for a lot of people as it has a 90 core and is the first time they have given one for free. extra drop pack in SA. Two free chase packs for most people
This is as good as, if not better than, any drop all of this TA cycle even if the SA cards themselves arent exciting.

I def agree I will fall a few cards short of 300 myself but I like having these free core cards too so no complaints
My luck though my guaranteed headliner was Murray for the 4th time

Oh man is that why the Core cards are so cheap? Because I literally just bought the remaining 3 cards that I needed to complete that collection, had no idea that pack is in the map

Yeah legend pack + barrier breaker pack both from teams close to start (I forget which)
-
OK thanks for the info, are they sellable?

Loved today’s drop. Some great cards plus a fire map

I thought they would also do a 2nd CORE collection like they did last year w the 99 Kiju Seager for collecting X amounts of CORE cards. Releasing the Banks card now makes me think they may only have the 91 Vlad core collection this year

@Ericulous1_PSN I agree, but I have hope. Backyard Baseball is coming back.

Wake up this morning to a quiet house. Guess I’ll get some game time in before College Football starts. Finish the last Season Awards program. Get three choice packs. Pick season 8,9,10 packs. Get the 99 card from each one! Yes! Go to list them on auction house….uh, they are non-sellable. I go from 100k possible stubs to 15.
Ok. Let’s take my 99 God squad and start the Shark map. Head right to Pittsburgh. My 5th starter is action figure 99 rated Maddox. Their 5th starter? Who knows. Some 60- something lefty. On Veteran.
Bottom of the 2nd, they smack Maddux and 99 Clase around like it’s BP! My 99 rated God Squad has two hits!
Yeah, I’m done for the day. Not a fun morning at all.

Sounds like you need some pitching practice against the CPU. I played through the new conquest yesterday, all on veteran and outscored the CPU 41-2 and those two runs were on pitches I executed poorly, were hung, and were hit for HRs
For me it is
Down and on the inside corner (Sinker or slider)
Down and on the outside corner (Sinker or Slider)
Fastball up on the inside corner.If that doesn't get them then I simply keep moving the ball around and mixing up my pitches.
