I can't imagine a high percentage of people that actually care about the game want LESS content. I don't think the casuals would be loud enough complaining there's too much to do to get the best cards.
Hopefully SDS is not listening to people at the extreme ends of spectrum on either side (those who play a ton and those who play a little).
They have data. They should know how long it took and many people have completed the XP path, TA, TA Conquest Map, Mini seasons, Programs, Ranked, Events, BR, etc. They should use that data and their expectations and adjust accordingly.
And since I seem to be the one playing devil's advocate for the casuals in this thread I will say that I am not actually asking for less content. I am simply trying to see the subject from the perspective of the player who can put an hour or so in a day due to other life demands. Who may not be able to take advantage of Double Xp weekends.
Then those players won't get the best cards. Simple as that.
In life you need to be prepared to either:
A. Work your a$$ off (so grinding/flipping)
B. Pay for what you want (so buying stubs)There is no choice C (no grinding, no paying, just being handed easy to obtain cards)
And dolenz, this isn't about you. You've made it clear that you don't care about getting the best cards (unless they're Cardinals

@NOWLTZKI_MLBTS no matter how long it takes, The only content has been TA and Weekly awards/topps now....where are the other programs like they had earlier in the year? Like a OOP madness program, or more Hall of Fame programs and the always loved "Extreme" programs. (I say that mildly tongue in cheek....those moments suck lol)
just saw they have a few programs this week....but none the last several unfortunately

The longest program of the year was a launch program and it was only 7 cards
While I realize the mets have gotten a fair bit of cards, none of the following have pitching cards for the mets but have either been notable historically or in recent years:
Pedro, Johan, Leiter, Bassit, Stroman, Walker
This would have been a perfect year to give a Lugo relief card with him breaking out as a starter.
Saberhagen? Ryan?
I'm sure other teams also have lots of examples of players who had good recent years, or historical years, that arent represented yet. So its not like they dont have potential cards to fill programs.
The small legend roster is bad, but they don't even fully use them.

@GoozeFn_PSN only problem with that is if you’re not very skilled, no matter how much you play you won’t get all the best cards. Which is one of my grieves. I am not that good a player. So I won’t get the biggest top level cards.
-
@beatlesnews_PSN That’s simply not true. The best cards are in the xp path and collections, neither of which require skill. Any card you can’t earn, you can buy with stubs.

Skill really matters most online for some of those rewards.
I do believe that anyone can get to the Season Bosses, although skill can make a difference in how long it takes. If Player A can gain 2000 gameplay xp per game and Player B only earns 1000 then Person B will end up having to play many more hours for the same rewards.
Collections are a little different. Many of the collections are going to require the player to buy players using stubs. I still need 95 S1 cards in order to earn all 3 collection packs. I have all the TA cards but 2 and completed every program except Egg Hunt. That is only 7 cards that I can still earn by playing and I am not sure if Egg Hunt is even still doable.
The live series requires about 500K stubs just to get the 5 or 6 of the hardest to get cards. While stubs are easier to come by this year that is still a significant investment to earn that many.

@Dolenz_PSN Skill does matter, but anyone can get those rewards by completing the missions in online program paths. Yes, it will take longer. It will also likely make you a better player.

Depends on what you need for the Egg Hunt program

I don't need it for anything. I was simply pointing out that there was no way for me to get to S1 Collection bosses right now other than, I assume, a sizable outlay of stubs since I still would need buy over 80 more cards to earn all three.
-
@Dolenz_PSN My guess is there will be a program in season 4 to get cards from previous seasons.
