Yay! I have SEVEN wild card spots!

But of course you can only use 4 of them.
So add the extra ones to the growing list of useless "rewards" SDS has been giving us this year:
-Extra wildcard spots
-Duplicate no-sell cards (not due to user error)
-Hundreds of icons, banners, bat skinsI feel like I'm forgetting some.
Overall, I can't criticize them too harshly since you can be NMS and have most cards you want.
So you're better than 2K and EA. But I am sick and tired of these useless rewards that clearly have no thought put into them.
Solution? Simple. If you earned "too many" wildcard spots and they refuse to allow you to use them, then at least give us an exchanged sellable pack.
Even if it's only worth 5-10K, at least you get something.

I think SDS screwed up with the WC Slots . At launch of s3, they were already unlocked if ya had them from prior season and SDS didnt fix it. So instead they acted like it was intentional screw up imo and that's why we have these additional wildcard slots in season 3 to unlock for no reason...
Prove me wrong

SDS already said when season 3 dropped that you would have all your wildcard spots to use from the beginning

95% chance this is what happened. They could have fixed it quick, but decided to let it stay.
The first post complaining about the duplicate rewards is kind of gross. What they did is significantly better than what was advertised before the season. -

No they didnt... it was after the fact and after season had dropped

Doesn't matter, you got 4 slots for doing nothing. Nothing to see here. They were never going to take them out this year. Come November they are useless anyway.
-
What a thing to cry about! LOL Doesn't effect anything anywhere that you've got some "extra" rewards that aren't actually being used. They were already part of the program drop when it was released and they decided to be gracious and let everyone use them from Season 2. There wasn't any way to go back and change the reward to something else as they'd already been released.

Seems to be the theme of the year for them this year. Someone pooches something, and they go with it and deflect by saying it was intended

@GixxerRyder750_PSN i don't think anyone is cryin dude. We are Just pointing out what Sds did. More Wildcard slots the better this season i wish i could have a roster full of wildcard cards honestly that way i wouldn't need to use these stupid OOP cards.
-
@Cubsfan217_XBL But who cares...you get 4. You have 4. Why does it matter that you unlock extras that aren't used cause you already have access to them? And yes, OP's been crying about this since S3 dropped just like he cried about Duplicate cards he earned cause he smashed out the Conquest 3 times the day it dropped like an insane person and then come to find out...SDS releases another way to obtain the same cards.

Once again, calling me an insane person for playing a video game.
I've had about enough out of you. But you're insignificant to me so I'll just ignore.
The overarching issue is SDS penalizing people for playing their fricking game TOO much.
And FYI I play a lot because I have terminal cancer and had to quit my teaching career to undergo chemo. The game takes my mind off of horrible things.
I've also been lucky enough to go on four bucket list trips in the last 6 months.
But when I'm home, I like to play a lot, and would like to be rewarded for that.

Did you just say, "I've had about enough out of you" dude?

@Cubsfan217_XBL I think that's what happened. Why write up a new blog post about unlocking WCs in season 3 if this was planned?
-
I personally think wildcards should decrease as the season progresses. you should start with more to use early in the season when there are less cards, and over time lose them, presumably to put in your new cards.

They are not penalizing you.
What you want is to do is penalize players who just started playing the game this season because they would never be able to achieve the same number of wildcards as those who started playing last season.
You already get rewarded for playing so much. You earn more XP and will earn more rewards along the XP path than those who play less. You'll have a better shot at finishing all the programs than those who play less. You will probably have a better shot at completing collections than those who play less.
For example last season you probably earned all 3 bosses. I play less and earned 1 of them, mere days before the season ended. Is that not already an advantage for you over someone who plays less.

Forum arguments crack me up.
“Hold me back! Why I outta!”
Yeah someone actually said “I’ve had about enough of you”. We’re in a 50s sitcom folks

This actually makes a lot of sense. I hope SDS either abandons or totally rethinks the idea of seasonal resets next year, but if they do bring back this format then I think your idea would probably soothe a lot of anger. Start each new season with 5 or 6 WC slots and then take one away each week or something like that (but still leave a couple at the end). Also, allowing wildcard slots to count toward TA and other stat grinds would be very helpful.

Hey buddy! Good to see you in here.
Thankfully- for season 3 offline grinding they are allowing all cards to count. TA3, Mini Seasons TA3, the USA Map etc. I have yet to use a new OOP card

Yes! I noticed that they made that change a couple days after S3 dropped. It made grinding through the new USA map to be much easier -- perhaps it was a little too easy, because I was able to finish the map and all TA3.1 yesterday. So I am kinda sitting with nothing to work toward until the next drop. Oh well!
I took almost the whole summer off from these forums because I can't seem to load the website on my phone or ipad at home. It always comes back with some sort of "rerouting" error or something. But I can use my work computer without any trouble, so I'm back here annoying people for the forseeable future.

Bottom line they screwed up with sets and seasons. Will it change? Hopefully. But this years structure has been awful
