Cincinnati Reds the Show 25

Collections aren’t program cards.
Live series cards are pack cards and the entirety of the live series collection rewards are derived from pack cards.
The New Threads, Egg Hunt, and Pipeline collections are all majority derived from pack cards.
The Santana collection is exclusively from pack cards.
In what world could someone classify all of collections as program cards when all the expensive ones are derived from pack cards?
I am aware that there are less pack cards overall this year compared to 23 & 24. I didn’t need stats for that. I believe 24 was the most pack cards just after release we’ve ever had. However, the imbalance between meta program cards and meta pack cards (or pack-derived collections) has gotten bigger and bigger (see: things like chase cards being a weekly occurrence, which is an absurd change that no one even bothers to complain about). Every single drop of content, the best card is from a pack or derived from pack cards. It means even when they release a usable card like Carroll, they undercut themselves by ruining the emotional experience of playing the game because people don’t think, “Sweet! Carroll!” They think to themselves that yet again, they don’t get access to the best card of the drop.
The biggest problem with MLB over the last 4 iterations (22, 23, 24, and 25) is SDS is judging the quality of their video games in statistics and spreadsheets while ignoring that the emotional experience of playing the game is at the point where only diehard baseball fans can even turn it on because it’s so incredibly bad.
