One big win for TA
-
Thank you for those of us who dont play 10 hours a day
-
W for me....
I play a good bit and I'm prob on a fine pace. Outside of getting the jolt cards I wanted I really didn't put much effort or attention into team affinity...It's just like at whatever pace I'm at is what I'm at.
So getting 150k and HOPEFULLY pulling something of value so I can finally get beltran is more important to me than ASG vouchers or these new cards

I really am holding out hope that those LS cards will drop a good deal by early next week
I posted something yesterday saying that "I have enough stubs to finish the LS collection but I'm waiting for prices to come down".
That post has not aged well.
I mean, they have to come down someday... Right? Oofff.

Right?? This year has been bonkers. I remember when I started playing in 19 and trout was always like 450K. But then a few years ago the big gatekeepers all of a sudden maxed out at like 150,000. Now Shohei is probably close to 700?? What on earth. I just want to finish my d-backs team but I cannot justify throwing half my stubs at a LS Marte that I will hardly ever use. Weird year for the live series!
-
One I finish this I will probably have all of the first team affinity done. Not sure how much motivation I’ll have to play after that. I agee with some of the others. 150k was too much. I would’ve rather had more packs and less XP.

@iBonafideScrub__PSN I'm happy for the folks who don't have the time to grind. Just would have been nice if they had told us they would make it really easy to attain the Finest voucher eventually so the people taking part in the grind they created could have played with the lineups they wanted, not the ones benefitting their TA grind.
Gotta look at the positives man. Since you'll be done with TA soon, you have the rest of the year to use whatever lineups you want. While others are still trying to grind out TA.
-
It's nice. It's summer, man, gotta spend some time in nature. No way I was gonna get to the All Star Cards by All Star Break, with how slow those chunks of progress come off post Jolt cards.
-
@GoldenGamingKM_PSN Take your frustration somewhere else and do not assume anything. Instead: Enjoy your few hours and spend them on the game.
-
@RealMessiah_XBL You can always play with the lineup you want.
-
@GoldenGamingKM_PSN Maybe spend a few less hours watching social media and cable news to free up some time. You're not actually "seeing" any of this, you're being told this is happening, like you were told people's dogs and cats were being eaten.
People aren't living on unemployment that pays less than half what they made working, and If you knew someone who is disabled, who has ever dealt with trying to get disability, you'd know it's not a process you can just waltz through.
-
I think it's a W. I play a lot and that 150.000 still won't take me to the All-Star voucher. I'm still gonna need quite a bit of work in June. I can't imagine how far behind casual gamers are. I get it I'm being greedy and trying to do every single team and keep them all around the same percent complete but I kind of hit a wall recently losing the will to grind. This kind of gave me a reboot.

A thousand likes. Although my teaching job was tough at times, it was nice having my own house and car. Giving up my car, moving back in with my parents for the first time in 25 years, and knowing I could die any month now is NOT FUN!
@GoldenGamingKM_PSN probably thinks Fox News is too liberal. They probably get their "news" from alternative fringe "news" sources.
And like he said, going through applying for disability was not easy or fun. Even with an obvious condition like cancer, it was still difficult to get. And I get paid less than a third of what I used to make. So not a great life.

I don’t care if people view it as a positive or a negative as I just view it as yet another example of failure by SDS. It’s a clear admission that their original design decisions of My Journey were never going to align with most people’s playing habits. They knew it was hard as they intentionally made it ridiculously long, only to now back away from it once the potential consequences of it being hard were becoming apparent. And people that it helps will give them credit and be positive when it really should just result in asking, “Why does this stuff keep happening every year? How many times do the content/design teams get to make the same mistakes, not learn from them, and keep getting to do their jobs?”
FYI, SDS, you should have put a collection for 40,000 points in the Color Storm programs where anyone that actually did the long grinds could collect the AS voucher for the 40,000. You’re letting everyone else fast track to catch up while giving absolutely no reward to the people that actually did the grind that you told us we’d have to do.
And that’s always the problem with you guys desperately trying to fix your mistakes. You never make everyone right. You always screw one group over.

I consider myself a casual player who likes to play on Rookie/veteran. This program is PERFECT for someone like me!
Put together a Phillie team with Schwarber as jolt captain. Two games vs CPU on Veteran at Coors Field and BAM: JT Realmuto is my new catcher!
Get him to 500 PXP and I can start to catch up on TA (which I’m way way way behind on)
I only have about half of the Jolt captains….

They will, this is why I stopped playing when they increased the cap for 90+ LS to 750. I knew Ohtani would sell for the max price and when 95s started to release he would drop his price.
I had to get Treinen so I did that program today. I’ll be looking at the market from my phone, these prices have to come down a little with the packs that will get open in the next few days.

Well...here are my thoughts. I have all 30 jolt cards (Spring Break grind). That took planning and a whole lot of conquest, mini seasons and DQ to do. I do feel a bit cheated in that sense. On the other hand, getting this new round of cards is much easier since having the jolt card allows you to really fast track the progress (because you can skip the pitching missions). I will easily have all 30 finest vouchers as well. With that said, hopefully this is the last TA...or at least the last TA tied to the vouchers. It's OK to make people earn things. If we all have the same cards (which has been a problem for years) then what's the point of the mode?
-
@Akhenaten1313_PSN I suppose SDS knows pretty good, where ppl are at …
At first, I thought 150K are way too much … But I think: Most of the ppl do not have all the jolts … most of them will not have the colour storm … and we will see dozens of threads with ppl complaining they did not have a chance to earn the all-star vouchers (same again with finest
).Do not forget that you earned a lot of packs and probably made a lot of stubs with them (I did) … I will casually go for the storm cards and fill up my finest vouchers
-
@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS It's so easy to get every single teams All Star card now I'm just waiting for them to drop before I go for the last three cards I need for LS. In one day everyone that did a basic grind will be able to field two teams of better cards than all the high priced cards on the market for free. The markets going to be a bloodbath.

This is an L actually. They created a grind and then destroyed it two months later. 50K would have been fine. 150K for 500 pxp on a card they claim will take under an hour to get is just them surrendering the grind they created to no difficulty. i'll have all the finest vouchers in the next week and half now.
Soooo did you not listen at all to SDS when the explained why they chose 150k experience? They did it because they looked at the stats and saw that most (I.E. over 50%) of the community would be no where close to getting allstar cards when they dropped. Minus for teams they may have focused on. So as an example I was already at almost 400 xp for the phillies because I was running pretty much a full phillies line up for tell WC 2. But some teams I just got to the jolt and stopped using them like the white Sox. So I would have had to do nothing but grind that 1 team to get to the allstar card. This way I can run the color storm card in a couple offline modes get to 500 xp and will only need to maybe get another 10k xp to get the allstar card. They are literally trying to save people who can't grind all the time a chance to get there. Why Are we saying this is an L??
-
Because it punishes people that prioritized grinding it in order to ensure people that didn’t can still get the same rewards, as it doesn’t give any of the people that prioritized grinding it anything for actually spending the time.
If SDS says this is what you have to do, you do it, and then SDS gives the cards to everyone else too anyway, it is an L. As I said in my reply, a competent company would have given those people that did it something for actually doing it (like my suggestion of removing any grind to get the Color Storm cards). Instead, they just screw over the people that actually listened.
